The AIGN AI Governnace Framework Translates Regulation into Daily Practice – Article by Article
The EU AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive legislation regulating artificial intelligence. It mandates that companies, public institutions, and educational providers develop AI systems that are safe, transparent, and human-centric – with strict obligations, oversight mechanisms, and penalties for non-compliance.
But how can organizations turn this regulation into practical, auditable, and sustainable action?
The answer: The AIGN Governance Framework.
From conformity to credibility: AIGN enables your AI system to meet EU law, pass audits, and build trust – by design.
Built for the EU AI Act – Not Just Inspired by It
The AIGN Framework is not a guideline or generic toolkit. It is a full-stack governance system developed specifically to meet the requirements of the EU AI Act – article by article.
It enables:
- Full alignment with the EU AI Act, including all obligations for high-risk AI systems
- Certifiable structures for risk management, documentation, data governance, and oversight
- Audit-ready templates and tools for conformity, registration, and transparency
- Interoperability with global standards like ISO/IEC 42001, GDPR, DSA, and the OECD AI Principles
With AIGN, you go beyond compliance – you build trust.
…and supports continuous improvement, audit readiness, and compliance updates throughout the lifecycle.
How AIGN Operationalizes the EU AI Act
| EU AI Act Requirement | AIGN Framework Module | Your Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Risk Management (Art. 9) | Risk & Impact Matrix | Proactive risk identification and mitigation aligned with regulations |
| Data Quality & Bias (Art. 10) | Data Governance Toolkit | Fair, documented, bias-aware data use across all model stages |
| Technical Documentation (Art. 11) | AI Lifecycle Templates | End-to-end documentation throughout development, deployment, and use |
| Human Oversight (Art. 14) | Oversight-by-Design | Clear human control mechanisms built into your AI workflows |
| Conformity Assessment (Art. 43) | Readiness Check & Pre-Audit | Internal assessment tools for audit readiness and market clearance |
| Transparency & Logging (Art. 12) | Trust & Trace Module | Robust traceability and compliance logging for regulators and users |
| EU Database Registration (Art. 49) | Compliance Companion | Support for EU notification duties and registration requirements |
| Post-Market Monitoring (Art. 61) | Trust Label KPIs, AI Incident Lifecycle | Structured oversight after market launch |
| Human Agency & Redlines (Art. 13) | Redlining Canvas, Escalation Protocols | Ethical boundaries and fallback logic |
👉 The result: AI systems that are not only compliant, but resilient, auditable, and trustworthy – before enforcement begins.
Who Is Affected by the EU AI Act?
The EU AI Act applies to:
- Developers and providers of AI systems
- Importers and distributors of AI into the EU
- Organizations using AI to make impactful decisions about EU citizens
- Even companies outside the EU whose AI affects the European market
If your product touches the EU – the Act applies.
Even developers of open-source AI components can fall under the Act if integrated into regulated systems.
The EU AI Act Risk Pyramid
The law distinguishes between four categories:
- Unacceptable Risk – Fully banned (e.g. social scoring, manipulative behavior control)
- High Risk – Strict obligations (e.g. AI in healthcare, education, HR, law enforcement)
- Limited Risk – Transparency required (e.g. chatbots, AI assistants)
- Minimal Risk – No direct obligations (e.g. spam filters, game AI)
The AIGN Framework focuses on High-Risk AI, where oversight, conformity, and traceability are mission-critical.
AIGN provides proactive governance for High-Risk AI – but also ensures that Limited-Risk systems meet transparency and logging obligations through its Trust & Capability Indicators.
Compliance Timeline
| Date | Requirement Enforced |
| Feb 2, 2025 | Ban on prohibited AI practices; AI literacy obligations begin |
| Aug 2, 2025 | GPAI obligations, governance, penalties come into force |
| Aug 2, 2026 | High-risk AI obligations fully enforceable |
| Aug 2, 2027 | End of transition period for AI in regulated products (e.g. MedTech, Automotive) |
AIGN helps you get ready before enforcement begins.
With the Trust Scan and Readiness Check, AIGN supports pre-enforcement risk classification, use-case documentation, and registration preparation before deadlines.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
| Violation | Maximum Fine |
| Use of prohibited AI (e.g. manipulation, social scoring) | €35 million or 7% of global turnover |
| Failure to meet high-risk AI obligations | €15 million or 3% of turnover |
| Breach of transparency or documentation | €7.5 million or 1% of turnover |
Beyond fines, sanctions may include:
- Withdrawal of systems from the EU market
- Suspension of conformity assessments or CE markings
- Exclusion from public contracts or EU funding
AIGN not only minimizes compliance risk – it documents intent, traceability, and remediation capability, which can mitigate regulatory consequences.“

Legal Synergy: One Framework, Multiple Laws
The AIGN Framework ensures aligned compliance across:
- EU AI Act → Risk, documentation, oversight, transparency
- GDPR → Data minimization, fairness, lawful processing (esp. Art. 10 overlap)
- DSA → Platform accountability, systemic risk mitigation (Recital 6)
- Product Liability Directive → Post-market monitoring, liability-proof governance
AIGN builds bridges between overlapping obligations – especially for teams that need to meet GDPR + EU AI Act + DSA requirements in one system.
Beyond Compliance: Technology in Service of Humanity
The EU AI Act is more than just regulation. It’s a call to action:
The AIGN Framework helps you:
- Translate obligations into daily practice
- Build systems that are resilient and inclusive
- Protect user trust, market access, and institutional credibility
Whether you’re refining an algorithm, deploying an AI product, or building your organization’s governance – AIGN turns regulation into strategic capability.
Make AI that is not only powerful – but also fair, transparent, and aligned with human rights.
