EU AI Act compliance, without the law firm

The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation. It applies to providers of AI systems placed on the EU market — regardless of where the provider is located — and to deployers operating AI systems within the EU.

High-risk AI systems are those listed in Annex III of the Act: AI used in hiring and recruitment, credit scoring, biometric identification, education, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, and medical devices. If your AI makes or materially influences decisions affecting individuals in these areas, it is likely high-risk. Use our free risk classifier to check.

High-risk AI systems that are non-compliant may not be placed on the EU market. Fines for providers reach up to €30 million or 6% of global annual turnover for high-risk violations. For prohibited AI uses (Article 5), fines reach €35 million or 7% of global turnover.

Prohibitions on banned AI practices applied from 2 February 2025. GPAI model obligations apply from 2 August 2025. Full obligations for high-risk AI systems apply from 2 August 2026. The EU AI Act Omnibus proposal (2025) is under review and may adjust some timelines — we will update this page when confirmed.

Risk classification takes 15–20 minutes. Drafting the core compliance documentation (Articles 9, 10, 11, 14) typically takes 4–8 hours spread across one to two weeks, depending on how well your technical team knows the system. Nytivo makes thorough compliance faster — not a rubber stamp.

Nytivo is a compliance management tool, not legal advice. For most AI startups, Nytivo handles the documentation and tracking layer. We recommend involving a qualified lawyer for final sign-off on your Declaration of Conformity and for complex jurisdictional questions.

High-risk AI providers must maintain: technical documentation (Article 11, Annex IV), a risk management system (Article 9), data governance documentation (Article 10), human oversight procedures (Article 14), and post-market monitoring records (Article 72). Nytivo generates all of these.

No. The EU AI Act applies to any provider whose AI system is used in the EU, regardless of where the company is incorporated. A startup in the US, UK, or Singapore building an AI product used by EU users must comply if it falls under the Act's scope.

All Nytivo customer data is stored on EU-based infrastructure. Our primary database runs on Supabase in the Frankfurt region (AWS eu-central-1). No compliance documentation you enter leaves the EU, and your data is never used to train AI models.

Not yet. Nytivo is an early-stage product and we are not currently SOC 2 certified. We publish our security practices — encryption standards, access controls, and infrastructure details — on our security page. If SOC 2 is a procurement requirement, please contact us to discuss timelines.

The EU AI Act has a built-in update mechanism — implementing acts and delegated acts will be published as the regulation matures. Nytivo tracks these changes and notifies you when a regulatory update affects your documented AI systems, showing you exactly which sections need to be reviewed.
