EU AI Act High-Risk Deployer Checklist
If your organisation uses AI systems in your business, the EU AI Act classifies you as a deployer and specific obligations apply to you. This checklist maps each of those obligations to the Article that requires it, so you know exactly what your governance needs to include before 2 August 2026.
The Problem
The EU AI Act is in phased enforcement. High-risk AI system obligations land on 2 August 2026. Most regulated SMEs in Ireland do not yet know which of their AI tools trigger those obligations, what documentation is required, or what governance architecture needs to be in place.
Shadow AI makes this harder. Staff adopt AI tools informally, outside procurement and IT. The systems management knows about are rarely all the systems actually in use. An inventory built on what management thinks is in use will miss the tools that carry the most compliance risk.
Non-compliance carries fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover. This engagement produces a complete, evidenced picture of your AI systems and a governance architecture designed to close the gaps before the deadline.
What Is Included
The audit produces a complete, evidenced picture of where your organisation stands and what needs to change. If you want to move to implementation, that can be scoped as a next step. If you need the audit output first to make that decision internally, that is a complete engagement on its own.

Scope and boundaries
What we are
We have received comprehensive training and are knowledgeable across the full scope of EU AI Act obligations: risk classification, provider and deployer requirements, governance architecture, post-market monitoring, and fundamental rights assessments. Clear Gate Systems applies this knowledge to design and implement technical governance architecture for clients.
What we are not
Clear Gate Systems does not provide legal advice, legal interpretation of specific obligations, or regulatory representation. Where your organisation requires a formal legal opinion, on the classification of a specific system, on contractual obligations with an AI vendor, or on regulatory exposure, a qualified solicitor or barrister must be engaged. Our role is to build the technical governance infrastructure that qualified legal counsel can stand behind.
Book a discovery call to discuss your requirements. We will recommend an approach based on what you are actually trying to solve.
