EU AI Act

An operating-oriented overview of the EU AI Act for institutions managing AI systems, suppliers, controls, evidence and accountability.

RegulationOperational interpretationReviewed August 2026
Executive questions

What the institution needs to be able to answer.

  1. 01Which AI systems and activities could be subject to obligations under the Act?
  2. 02Who owns the applicability decision and how is that decision preserved?
  3. 03Which controls, reviews and documentation should be connected to each material AI system?
  4. 04What evidence would an authorised reviewer need to reconstruct the institution’s position later?
Operating model

Turn the requirement into institutional workflow.

01

Inventory first

Regulatory analysis is unreliable if the institution cannot identify the AI systems, providers, use cases and owners that may be affected.

02

Applicability is a decision

Cybatar can structure applicability analysis, but formal applicability should remain an authorised legal or compliance determination.

03

Controls need evidence

Policies, reviews and technical controls should be connected to evidence requirements rather than maintained as disconnected documents.

04

Version the position

Regulatory interpretations, system facts and controls change. Preserve the version, date, decision owner and evidence behind each material conclusion.

Evidence

What should be preserved.

  • AI system inventory and ownership
  • Documented applicability decision
  • Control mapping and accountable owner
  • Testing and assurance evidence
  • Human oversight evidence where applicable
  • Supplier and model documentation
  • Decision and change history

From guidance to operating control

Map this framework to your AI estate.

Cybatar can structure obligations, applicability decisions, controls and evidence requirements around the institution’s actual AI systems.
