EU AI Act compliance tools
With the EU AI Act enforcement window approaching, firms face fines up to €35M or 7% of turnover; EQS rolled out a Risk Management module claiming continuous oversight for data and AI to connect privacy, cyber and operational controls (xpert.digital) (finanzwire.com).
EQS Group announced the launch of a Risk Management module for its EQS Privacy COCKPIT on March 23, 2026. (eqs-news.com) The module surfaces structured scoring, visual risk matrices and real‑time analytics to help teams identify, classify, assess and monitor data‑ and AI‑related risks. (eqs-news.com) Risks captured in the new register can be linked directly to controls, remediation tasks and named owners, creating traceable workflows for mitigation and sign‑off. (eqs-news.com) EQS says the module maps exposure across regulatory frameworks explicitly referenced in its announcement—GDPR, the EU AI Act, NIS2 and DORA—so organizations can view cross‑framework risk in a single register. (eqs-news.com) Key EU AI Act dates that shape vendor demand are already live: obligations for general‑purpose AI applied from August 2, 2025, while the bulk of high‑risk rules and penalties come into effect from August 2, 2026. (glocertinternational.com) The AI Act requires a continuous risk‑management system throughout an AI system’s lifecycle and mandates technical documentation including logging and oversight measures—features EQS highlights as supported by the new module. (artificialintelligenceact.eu) EQS has been expanding its ecosystem ahead of this product launch, signing a partnership with Ground Truth Intelligence on February 25, 2026 to add enhanced due‑diligence into its Compliance Cockpit and citing prior acquisitions (OneTrust ethics & compliance division and Daato in December 2024) to broaden compliance capabilities.
