Robust AI governance can be a strategic edge, especially when operating inside rapidly evolving regulations and tech innovation. But aligning an organisation’s development, deployment, and monitoring practices with legal requirements has become more challenging, and the proliferation of AI only heightens the urgency.
For EU and UK organisations in 2025, the EU AI Act joins DORA and NIS2 in intensifying compliance complexity. New mandates on transparency, accountability, and risk classification demand rigorous oversight across the AI lifecycle, whilst the use of third parties introduces even more compliance considerations. Progress is steady but uneven.
AuditBoard partnered with Ascend2 Research to survey 272 risk, infosec, and IT compliance professionals in the UK and Germany to uncover how organisations are navigating these regulatory waters. Download Navigate new regulatory waters with the EU AI Act to dive into:
