Article 9 · risk management

The risk register your auditor + board both actually use.

Article 9 calls for an iterative risk management process across the entire lifecycle of every high-risk AI system. Most teams write this once and never touch it again. We make it the operational heart of compliance — visible from the dashboard, rolled up to the board, and signed off by reviewers.

How it works

A real probability × severity heatmap, not a checklist.

Each risk is scored 1–5 on probability and 1–5 on severity; the 5×5 heatmap colour-codes the result and links straight to the mitigation status. Reviewers sign off; owners get a quarterly review trigger; the audit chain records every status change.
