EU AI Act gap assessment

DACH companies using AI in products or operations that need clarity on their AI Act obligations.

Updated: 2026-07

In short

A gap assessment answers three questions: which AI systems do we use, how are they classified under the EU AI Act, and what is missing for conformity? The output is a prioritised action plan, with an eye on the 2 August 2026 enforcement window.

Many companies know the EU AI Act is coming — but not how strongly it hits them concretely. Without a structured inventory it stays gut feeling: which of our AI systems are even affected? Are we high-risk? What must we document, and by when?

A gap assessment replaces that uncertainty with a solid baseline — not a 200-page opinion, but a clear map of the current state and the gaps.
