AI Governance Infrastructure for the EU AI Act — making high-risk AI verifiable

The AI Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 has been in force since August 2024. Financial institutions that deploy or develop high-risk AI systems must demonstrate full compliance to BaFin, EBA and the EU AI Office by 2026 — not merely assert it. With EVIDION, you build the AI Governance Infrastructure that proves compliance.

What the EU AI Act requires of high-risk systems

Art. 9–14 of the AI Regulation define the framework of requirements for high-risk AI in the financial sector. Each requirement must not only be met — but documented in a demonstrable way at any time.

Art. 9

Risk management system

Continuously documented risk management system across the entire lifecycle of the AI system.

Art. 10

Data & data governance

Evidence-obligated data quality, bias analysis and data governance for training, validation and testing.

Art. 11

Technical documentation

Complete technical documentation before market placement — with version history and change evidence.

Art. 12

Logging & record-keeping

Automatic logging of all system outputs and decision paths for traceability by third parties.

Art. 13

Transparency & information

Comprehensible information obligations toward users: capabilities, limitations and oversight mechanisms.

Art. 14

Human oversight

Documented Human-in-the-Loop: intervention options, override protocols, oversight responsibility.

Why compliance alone is not enough — evidence as the differentiator

BaFin, EBA and the EU AI Office expect not only the existence of governance structures — but their complete, always-retrievable demonstrability. IDW EPS 528 sets the new audit standard for AI systems in the financial sector.

“Can you demonstrate without gaps, for each of your high-risk AI systems, that human oversight (Art. 14), complete logging (Art. 12) and an active risk management system (Art. 9) are in place in operation?”
Without a structured Governance Evidence Infrastructure: hard to prove. With EVIDION: documented, signed, auditable.

ISO/IEC 42001 certification path

EVIDION structures your AI governance documentation along the ISO/IEC 42001 framework — the international standard for AI management systems in the financial sector.

EU data sovereignty

All data remains within European infrastructure. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certified. No transfer outside the EU — a prerequisite for regulatory acceptance.

EVIDION as the AI Assurance Layer for the EU AI Act

EVIDION transfers your existing AI governance documents, model decisions and oversight measures into an audit-proof evidence system — making your high-risk AI supervisory-ready.

Explainability Engine

Decision attribution under Art. 13 AI Act: every AI decision explained and logged traceably.

Risk Evidence Ledger

Complete evidence under Art. 9 & 12 AI Act — SHA-256-signed, immutable, audit-proof.

Human Oversight Interface

Documented Human-in-the-Loop under Art. 14 AI Act with clear oversight responsibility and override protocol.

IDW EPS 528 Assurance Layer

Audit-ready examination trails for auditors under IDW EPS 528 — the new standard for AI audits in the financial sector.

Roadmap

EVIDION extends the governance ontology with AI Act requirements: risk, documentation and control logic for AI systems as well as support for classification, traceability and documentation along the applicable transition periods (Phase II, 2026/2027).

BaFin & EBA audit standards

EVIDION is aligned with the requirements of BaFin (MaRisk, BAIT) and EBA (EBA/GL/2019/04) — the authoritative supervisory standards for AI in the German and European financial sector.

EVIDION as the “AI Assurance Layer for Europe”

~22,000 EU financial institutions fall under DORA. Every institution that deploys high-risk AI additionally needs EU AI Act compliance. EVIDION is the infrastructure that connects both.
