The problem

"Every risk framework gives you a catalogue. This gives you the 7 risks that matter for your organisation."

EU AI Act Article 26 requires deployers to implement appropriate risk management measures. You cannot demonstrate appropriate measures without a documented risk assessment. A generic risk register with "AI" as a single entry is not a defensible response to a regulator.

Problem 1

"The generic top-10 list"

Every published AI risk list covers everything that could go wrong for anyone. It tells you nothing about which risks are highest-priority for your specific maturity, sector, and regulatory exposure.

Problem 2

"The compliance gap you can't see"

Most organisations don't know whether their AI governance documentation meets Article 26 requirements — because they've never mapped their risks against the 13 deployer obligations.

Problem 3

"Governance that's already too late"

AI tools are already deployed. Risks are already materialising. Waiting for a framework before starting assessment is the wrong sequence.

Method

Three phases. One risk stack.

1

Intake

Client completes a structured intake questionnaire covering AI system inventory, sector context, and current governance maturity. Organisation is assigned to one of 9 risk profiles across maturity tiers (T1/T2/T3) and regulation intensity (Low/Mid/High).

2

Risk stack build

The 7 highest-priority deployer-side risks are identified for the client's specific profile, drawn from the Quintant Risk Map's 48-risk taxonomy across 6 control zones. Each risk is written in the client's operational context — not as generic descriptions.

3

Who it's for

The decision owner.

CRO

Owns regulatory risk. Needs a prioritised risk assessment that demonstrates appropriate measures under Article 26.

CCO

Owns compliance. Needs a risk register that maps to the 13 deployer obligations — not a generic AI list.

CTO

Owns the technical systems. Needs risk documentation that connects architecture decisions to regulatory obligations.

Regulatory deadline

EU AI Act enforcement — August 2026.

A Risk Profile Report is Article 26-defensible documentation of your risk management. A proposed Digital Omnibus amendment may extend the deadline to December 2027 — but it is not yet adopted. August 2026 remains legally binding.
