Colorado AI Act risk programs mandate

Active Now

California EO N-5-26 AI vendor certification

Companies deploying high-risk AI systems must meet transparency, documentation, and human oversight requirements. Non-compliance means fines up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue.

22 EU AI Act Rules. Mapped to Articles.

Sentrik checks both your code and your documentation against EU AI Act requirements.

Article 9 — Risk Management

Risk management system documentation, identification and analysis of known risks, mitigation measures, residual risk acceptance

Article 10 — Data Governance

Training dataset documentation, data collection processes, labeling operations, bias assessment, data gap analysis

Article 11 — Technical Documentation

System description, design specifications, development methodology, validation procedures

Article 13 — Transparency

User-facing documentation, capability limitations disclosure, intended purpose documentation

Article 14 — Human Oversight

Human-in-the-loop mechanisms, override capabilities, monitoring interfaces

Article 15 — Accuracy & Robustness

Performance metrics, bias testing, adversarial robustness, fallback mechanisms

Smart Scanning: Only Fires When Relevant

EU AI Act rules only activate when your project uses AI/ML libraries. No false positives on non-AI codebases.

Conditional Rules with applies_when

Sentrik detects whether your project imports AI libraries like PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Hugging Face Transformers, OpenAI, or Anthropic SDKs. EU AI Act documentation obligations only fire when these imports are detected.

No AI code? No EU AI Act findings. Sentrik doesn't waste your time with irrelevant rules.

EU AI Act compliance evidence map

Documentation Evidence for Regulators

The Evidence Map proves your AI system meets each Article requirement.

Code-Level Evidence

Sentrik identifies where your code implements required controls: logging, human oversight hooks, bias checks, fallback mechanisms. Each maps to a specific Article.

Documentation Evidence

Searches your .md, .adoc, and .rst files for risk management documentation, data governance policies, and technical specifications required by Articles 9-11.

Signed Attestation

Cryptographically signed (HMAC-SHA256) compliance attestation proving your system state at a specific point in time. Tamper-evident and auditor-ready.

EU AI Act Compliance FAQ

Does the EU AI Act apply to my AI coding agent usage?

If you deploy AI systems classified as high-risk under Annex III (healthcare, critical infrastructure, employment, etc.), yes. The Act applies to deployers, not just providers. If your team uses AI coding agents to build software for these domains, the code must meet transparency and documentation requirements.

What happens if I miss the August 2026 deadline?

Fines for non-compliance with high-risk AI obligations can reach up to €35 million or 7% of annual global revenue, whichever is higher. The transparency requirements in Articles 13-14 are among the first to take effect.

How does Sentrik handle the documentation requirements?

Sentrik's EU AI Act pack includes documentation obligations that check for the existence of risk management docs, data governance policies, and technical specifications. The Evidence Map searches your documentation files and links them to specific Article requirements. If documentation is missing, it flags it as a finding.

Can I use Sentrik with NIST AI RMF too?

Yes. Sentrik also has a NIST AI 600-1 Risk Management Framework pack with 15 rules. You can enable both EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF simultaneously for dual-framework coverage.
