EU AI Act Implementation on AWS — Articles 9–17 + Annex IV (8 Weeks)

Every existing EU AI Act listing on AWS Marketplace stops at assessment. None deliver implementation. This service provides the natural follow-on to Kriv’s live E5 EU AI Act Readiness Assessment.

Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 is in phased force: February 2025 prohibited-AI ban; August 2025 GPAI obligations; February 2026 AI Office enforcement capabilities active; August 2026 high-risk Annex III + penalty regime in force; August 2027 full Annex III in force. Article 85 penalties are material: €35M or 7% of global turnover for Article 5 prohibited practices; €15M or 3% for high-risk non-compliance; €7.5M or 1% for incorrect information to National Competent Authorities. US multinationals with EU operations are the most under-prepared buyer segment, and Article 2 makes the Regulation extraterritorial whenever AI system output is used in the Union.

Existing AWS Marketplace listings are assessment-only. Kriv’s E5 EU AI Act Readiness Assessment is live and competes with globaldatanet’s AI Act Readiness Check, adesso’s Responsible AI Assessment, AIM Consulting’s AI Guardrails, Ankercloud’s European Sovereign Cloud Readiness, and Strategic Communications’ Responsible AI Governance Assessment, every one stops at a gap list. Big-4 implementation SOWs run €150K–€500K over 6–12 months and are sold off-Marketplace. European SIs (Sopra Steria, Atos, Capgemini, TCS, Infosys) embed AI Act advisory in broader transformation deals at €300K–€1M+. Notified-body fees alone (TÜV SÜD, TÜV Rheinland, DEKRA, BSI, DNV, Bureau Veritas) run €50K–€150K per high-risk system. Nothing on AWS Marketplace today delivers a fixed-fee, transparent, purchase-order-ready EU AI Act implementation. This service provides that capability.

Reference architecture and controls are deployed on the Customer’s AWS account: Article 9 Risk Management System is implemented using SageMaker Model Monitor, AWS Config, and Security Hub with structured lifecycle risk tracking. Article 10 Data Governance uses Lake Formation lineage and access control, SageMaker Clarify bias detection, Macie PII discovery, and S3 Object Lock immutable training data storage. Article 11 Technical Documentation (Annex IV) is supported via Amazon Bedrock and Claude-assisted drafting, SageMaker Model Cards, and CloudFormation system artifacts. Article 12 Logging is implemented using AWS CloudTrail organization-wide logging with immutable S3 Object Lock retention aligned to regulatory requirements. Article 13 Transparency controls include AI output labeling using Bedrock Guardrails and metadata enforcement. Article 14 Human Oversight is implemented using AWS Step Functions workflows, escalation paths, override logging, and intervention controls. Article 15 Accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity are implemented using SageMaker monitoring, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, GuardDuty, and AWS Config baselines. Article 17 QMS integration aligns with ISO 9001, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001. Article 26 Deployer obligations include monitoring, incident reporting, and data quality controls. Article 27 FRIA templates are included for applicable public sector high-risk systems. Article 40 harmonized standards mapping covers ISO/IEC AI governance frameworks. Article 43 conformity assessment supports internal control and notified-body readiness pathways. Articles 48–50 support Declaration of Conformity drafting, CE marking preparation, and AI content labeling controls. Articles 51–56 GPAI requirements are supported for enterprise deployments, including systemic risk classification, downstream transparency, and AI Office reporting alignment.
