AI Audit
Clarity About Your AI Governance and Its Effectiveness.
Traditional IT or security audits review access controls, availability, and emergency management. However, AI systems raise new questions: How is the quality of training data ensured? How are bias risks assessed? Are automated decisions traceable? And how are risks from external models, cloud services, or AI service providers managed?
AI Audits create transparency about the maturity level and effectiveness of your governance, risk, and control structures. We assess existing measures based on regulatory requirements, for example from the EU AI Act, as well as recognized standards and audit frameworks such as ISO 42001, the BSI criteria catalogs, or the BSI A5 audit framework for trustworthy AI.
The result is a sound assessment of the effectiveness of your controls, identified risks, and specific areas for action.

Transparency About the State of Your AI Governance

Where Are You on Your Path to Robust AI Governance?
Before introducing an AI management system or implementing specific regulatory requirements, a structured assessment creates clarity about the actual need for action.
We analyze existing processes, roles, controls, and evidence and assess them based on recognized standards, regulatory requirements, and additional individual internal or external requirements:
- Gap analysis based on ISO 42001 or the BSI criteria catalogs
- EU AI Act readiness assessment
- Maturity assessment based on your individual requirements catalogs
Result
✓ Identified gaps and risks
✓ Prioritized measures for further implementation
