EU AI Act

EU regulation governing AI systems. High-risk AI systems face mandatory logging, human oversight, and audit trail requirements. Enterprise customers using GPAI models need evidence of governance to satisfy auditors and regulators.

In force August 2024 · High-risk obligations apply August 2026

Art. 12 Record-keeping for high-risk AI systems

High-risk AI systems must automatically log events during operation. Logs must be kept for a minimum of 6 months and be detailed enough for post-market monitoring and incident investigation.

Automatically captures and retains all MCP server calls and AI model interactions with configurable retention periods. Tamper-evident audit trail satisfies the Art. 12 evidence requirement directly.

Art. 13 Transparency and provision of information to users

High-risk AI systems must ensure sufficient transparency so deployers can interpret outputs and use them appropriately.

Dashboard gives deployers full visibility into what data AI systems are accessing and sending — making behaviour transparent and interpretable. Policy engine provides a documented framework for governance decisions.

Art. 14 Human oversight

High-risk AI systems must allow effective human oversight. Operators must be able to monitor operation, detect anomalies, and intervene or stop the system.

Incident dashboard and policy engine give human operators direct visibility and control over AI agent data flows. Real-time alerts on policy violations and anomalous data transfers satisfy oversight requirements with an auditable evidence trail.

Art. 73 Reporting of serious incidents

Providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems must report serious incidents to supervisory authorities without undue delay and maintain incident records.

Audit trail provides the complete data record needed for incident reporting — what data was involved, which AI system processed it, when, and what policy decisions were made. Exportable as structured compliance reports.
