Whitepaper

# Governing the Machine: A CIO's Guide to the EU AI Act and the Security Infrastructure It Demands

The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI regulation, and its major enforcement deadline arrives August 2, 2026 — with fines up to €35 million or 7% of global revenue for organizations that aren't ready. This guide breaks down the Act's risk tiers, deployer obligations, and enforcement timeline, then explains why APIs, agentic AI, and shadow AI represent the compliance blind spots most enterprises haven't addressed. Whether you're building your governance program from scratch or stress-testing what you already have, this whitepaper gives you a clear picture of what audit-ready AI security infrastructure actually demands.
