EU AI Act high-risk · enforceable inAug 2, 2026

If you sell to EU customers, the EU AI Act probably applies to you. Find out in 2 minutes.

Most B2B SaaS companies aren't AI providers — they're deployers, and deployers have obligations too. Take the assessment to get a suggested classification and a step-by-step readiness plan.

Step 1 of 8
Does your company sell to customers in the EU, or employ staff in the EU?

August 2, 2026 isn't a suggestion.

On that date, the EU AI Act's obligations for high-risk AI systems become enforceable. Three things matter for B2B SaaS:

  1. 1

    Deployers have duties, not just providers. If your company uses high-risk AI — an AI resume screener, an automated evaluation tool — you may be on the hook for oversight, monitoring, and record-keeping even though you didn't build it.

  2. 2

    Penalties are real. Non-compliance with certain provisions carries fines up to the higher of €15M or 3% of global turnover (higher for prohibited practices).

  3. 3

    Your buyers are already asking. EU AI Act questions are appearing in security questionnaires now. “We're looking into it” is not an answer that closes deals.

Verify current figures and dates against the regulation text before publishing; informational, not legal advice.

From “no idea what we use” to audit-ready in two weeks.

Week 1 — Inventory

Every AI system you use or build, in one place. Manual entry or CSV import.

Week 1 — Classification

Suggested EU AI Act tier (prohibited / high / limited / minimal) per system. Deterministic, auditable, reviewable with counsel.

Week 2 — Policies and evidence

Adopt from 15 board-ready templates, map controls, and export an audit package — PDF and JSON — whenever anyone asks.

Flat tiers from $499 / mo. Full platform on every plan. No SOW, no per-seat, no “contact sales.”

Questions teams ask before taking the assessment.

We only use OpenAI’s API — does the Act apply?
Possibly, depending on how the feature is used. Using third-party models doesn't exempt you; your role (deployer vs provider) depends on the use case. The assessment walks through it.
We're a US company. Why care?
The Act has extraterritorial reach where output is used in the EU — and US buyers are adopting the same questions in vendor reviews regardless.
Is the classification legally binding?
No. Govarna provides suggested, auditable classifications for you to review with qualified counsel.
What if we do nothing?
Maybe nothing happens — until an EU customer's procurement team asks for your AI governance documentation, or an employee's AI tool causes an incident with no policy on file. Getting the inventory done now is cheap insurance.

One assessment. A clear plan.
