Timeline
The Challenge
A FinTech company had deployed multiple AI systems across fraud detection, credit scoring, and customer onboarding — but had no compliance framework for the EU AI Act. An internal audit revealed that several systems likely qualified as 'high-risk' under the Act, exposing the company to fines of up to 7% of global turnover. With the August 2, 2026 deadline approaching, the board demanded a comprehensive compliance program.
Our Solution
We executed a four-phase compliance program: AI system inventory and risk classification, Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments for high-risk systems, technical compliance controls (audit logging, bias monitoring, human override interfaces), and a governance framework including an AI ethics board charter and staff training. Each phase included regulatory consultation checkpoints.
Results Achieved
- All 12 AI systems classified, documented, and mapped to EU AI Act risk categories
- 4 high-risk systems fully remediated with technical and organizational controls
- Compliance documentation accepted during preliminary regulatory consultation
- Potential fine exposure reduced from 7% of turnover to documented compliance
- Program completed 6 months ahead of the August 2026 deadline
- AI ethics board established with quarterly review cadence

“The EU AI Act felt like an impossible puzzle. The team delivered both a clear legal framework and the actual technical controls to back it up. When we presented to the regulator, they commented that our documentation was among the most thorough they'd reviewed.”
