AI governance for the EU AI Act.

Sentinel for EU-domiciled or EU-operating enterprises, anchored on the EU AI Act (in force, phased through 2027), GDPR, GPAI Code of Practice (July 2025), NIS2 and DORA.

The pressure

GPAI rules enforceable since Aug 2025. High-risk lands Aug 2026. Digital Omnibus may shift dates.

Prohibited AI uses banned since Feb 2025. GPAI obligations enforceable since Aug 2025 (most major providers have signed the voluntary GPAI Code of Practice, finalised July 2025). High-risk system obligations scheduled for 2 Aug 2026; high-risk AI embedded in regulated products 2 Aug 2027. The Digital Omnibus political agreement (May 7, 2026) may shift high-risk obligation dates — worth tracking. Non-EU companies are in scope if their AI outputs are used in the EU.

Frameworks pre-loaded

Every framework EU cares about — encoded as data, cross-mapped on day one.

The Sentinel Framework Engine ships with these frameworks as machine-readable data, with explicit cross-maps. When you assess a use case, the workpaper, the review pack, and the auditor evidence trail are generated from this library — not authored from scratch.
