Compliance by Design
An integrated approach that embeds the legal requirements of the EU AI Act from the very first development phase, ensuring AI systems are safe, compliant, and customer-focused from the start.
Integration into Development Processes
01
Embedded Compliance
Anchors EU AI Act requirements from the initial design phase.
02
Process integration
Implements compliance checkpoints and validation steps within existing development methodologies.
03
Accountabilities
Defines clear roles and responsibilities for compliance activities within development teams.
Key results
-
Faster time-to-market through well-embedded compliance from the start.
-
Fewer revisions later on due to direct integration of risk into the process.
-
Stronger audit position thanks to clear roles and traceable design decisions.
What we deliver
-
Templates for user stories, risk analyses, and design reviews with built-in compliance checks.
-
Integration of validation points and controls without disrupting the development process.
-
Clear task distribution and structure around compliance within development teams.
Iterative prototyping
01
Compliance prototyping
Directly integrates legal requirements into prototypes to create verifiable results from day one.
02
Feedback-driven improvement
Connects user feedback with compliance requirements for continuous validation throughout development.
03
Adaptive development processes
Enables rapid response to regulatory changes without costly redevelopment.
Key results
-
Early validation of compliance requirements and user needs.
-
Lower development costs through direct alignment of feedback with rules and standards.
-
Demonstrable compliance with laws and standards throughout the entire development process.
What we deliver
-
Guidance on designing prototypes that directly comply with relevant AI regulations.
-
Guidelines and tools for integrating compliance into iterative feedback loops.
-
Optimization of development processes focused on both agility and compliance.
Continuous Validation
01
Regular evaluations
Regularly assesses AI systems against new legislation, guidelines, and technical standards.
02
Post-launch reviews
Links design changes to compliance checks to ensure controlled and responsible further development.
03
Evolving user context
Ensures that AI systems remain compliant amid changes in user needs or usage scenarios.
Key results
-
AI systems continue to comply with current legislation, standards, and internal compliance frameworks.
-
Ongoing optimization of design and performance without compromising on compliance or reliability.
-
Adaptive solutions that respond to user needs while maintaining compliance and avoiding sanctions.
What we deliver
-
Structured evaluation cycles to continuously assess AI systems against evolving laws and regulations.
-
Support for post-deployment reviews that evaluate usage, design, and compliance together.
-
Translation of changing context or user needs into concrete requirements and compliance adjustments.
Practical Implementation Plan
01
Concrete and Step-by-Step
A clear and logically structured plan that guides development teams from concept to responsible delivery.
02
Ready for Execution
Includes all the elements to get started right away: from role distribution to checkpoints and documentation.
03
Independently Actionable
Provides teams with the structure and guidelines to develop compliant AI without external dependencies.
Key results
-
Teams have a clear structure and practical guidance throughout execution.
-
Regulatory compliance is integrated into the development process.
-
Development teams work independently within frameworks that ensure compliance.
What we deliver
-
A practical step-by-step plan that embeds AI compliance into the development process from the very start.
-
Detailed guidelines for planning, execution, and verification of compliance across all development phases.
-
A workable framework that supports ownership, control, and compliance within the organization.
