Comparison FAQ
AI governance questions answered
What is the best AI governance software for the EU AI Act?
The best AI governance software separates AI inventory, risk classification, impact assessment and evidence export as distinct steps, and links AI records to existing GDPR evidence rather than running as an isolated register. Acompli fits teams that want AI Act assessments beside DPIAs, RoPA and vendor records already in place.
Does AI governance software need to link to GDPR records?
For most organisations, yes - an AI system that processes personal data usually also needs a DPIA, a RoPA entry and vendor/transfer records if a third-party model is involved. An AI register that cannot reference those creates a second, disconnected compliance trail.
Who should approve AI-system risk classification?
A named human reviewer, with the classification rationale preserved - not an automated score alone. Ask each supplier whether the EU AI Act risk tier assigned to a system is documented with the reasoning behind it, since that record is what a regulator or auditor would expect to see.
