AI Governance Check — Assess AI Use Cases for GDPR & the EU AI Act
Whether an AI use case may go live is decided by data protection, transparency and risk — not by the model. Without a structured check you risk stop signs only shortly before go-live.
At a glance
- A structured assessment across 6 ethical and legal gates
- A clear verdict in four levels, from “approval recommended” to “deployment not permitted” — with a rationale per gate
- A link to your use case and the compliance risk class
- A documented basis for internal approval processes
What you get, specifically
In the check
- Six checkpoints: EU AI Act risk class, personal data, legal basis, impact on people, human oversight and documentation
- A verdict in four levels: approval recommended, conditional deployment, deployment not recommended or deployment not permitted
- Action areas: a concrete recommendation for every critical or open checkpoint
- A summary of all checkpoints with a traffic-light status
- Assignment to one or more use cases and a history of earlier checks
- A scenario comparison of two saved checks, for example before and after an improvement

Who it is for
For everyone who decides on or is accountable for deploying an AI system — in the governance guide, for example, the CDO/CIO, AI Governance Officer, DPO/Legal and BU owner. The check gives them a shared, documented basis for approval without replacing a legal review. The check works without an AI call: the verdict follows fixed, traceable rules derived from your answers.

Is the governance check legal advice?
No. It provides solid, structured orientation for internal approval processes — not legal advice.
Which gates are assessed?
Six gates: EU AI Act risk class, personal data, legal basis, impact on people, human oversight and documentation.
Is this connected to my compliance check?
Yes. The governance check takes the risk class determined in the Compliance Center and your use case into account.

Building AI Governance
Solid AI governance runs on three levels: strategic, tactical, operational. A minimal model with 5 roles and 6 core decisions is enough to get started.
Governance Decision Tree
Five questions determine whether an AI use case gets approved. Following the decision tree cleanly means approval in 5 business days instead of 5 months.
