“As the AI landscape evolves, organizations are challenged to balance innovation with regulatory compliance and ethical considerations,” said Keith Fenner, Senior Vice President & General Manager, International at Diligent. “The EU's AI Act represents a significant regulatory milestone to ensure AI systems are safe, transparent, and respect fundamental rights. We’re thrilled to offer a solution that helps customers identify and map regulatory obligations, implement best practice controls, and govern AI responsibly. This ensures compliance with evolving global regulations while accelerating the adoption of AI technology and delivering value.”
There are three toolkits available within the Diligent One Platform:
- AI Discovery and Risk Classification Toolkit – This toolkit helps customers identify their AI systems and perform the required risk classification exercise. It also provides access to an extensive library of AI literacy and best practice governance resources for the board, senior management and employees to accelerate organizational readiness and elevate AI governance. The toolkit is available to all Diligent One Platform customers.
- AI Act IT Compliance Toolkit – This toolkit helps organizations understand regulatory requirements, map them against suggested controls, and document compliance. It offers suggested control mapping to the AI Act’s regulatory requirements, gap identification, a dashboard summary for control assessment, a remediation summary and notifications to key stakeholders.
- AI Act Risk Management Toolkit – This comprehensive risk management toolkit supports a complete AI governance program. It features a risk heatmap for reviewing and prioritizing risks, a dashboard summarizing AI systems by risk level, a pre-configured AI threat library, and tools for continuous monitoring to ensure policy adherence and compliance.
In a world where, according to surveys, 78% of employees bring their own AI tools to work and 86% of businesses use some form of AI without the board’s awareness, Diligent's AI Act Toolkits are designed to support compliance, governance and risk management efforts. The Toolkits help customers to identify their AI systems and models, apply a risk-based classification, understand their obligations as providers and deployers under the AI Act, build an AI governance framework and monitor ongoing compliance. This helps to ensure that AI systems are implemented responsibly and ethically, and in a manner that documents compliance efforts in accordance with customer, partner, employee and regulator expectations.
Diligent’s Toolkits provide a robust framework for assessing and managing the risks associated with AI systems, helping organizations incorporate ethical considerations into their AI development, and supporting ongoing compliance with the EU’s AI Act. As AI becomes increasingly integral to business strategy, the Toolkits reflect Diligent's dedication to supporting ethical AI practices and helping its customers stay ahead of regulatory changes.
