AI Governance Assessment
Back to TBN

Why This Assessment Exists

The EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689) is now in force. High-risk AI systems must demonstrate governance, traceability, human oversight, and compliance by August 2026. Most organisations deploying AI agents have no infrastructure to prove any of this. This free assessment helps you identify exactly where your gaps are before enforcement begins.

What Is AI Governance Readiness?

AI governance readiness measures how prepared your organisation is to deploy AI agents safely, compliantly, and accountably. It covers agent identity verification, authority boundaries, runtime enforcement, audit trails, EU AI Act compliance, data governance, security monitoring, and emergency override processes. Organisations with low readiness scores face regulatory fines, security breaches, and operational failures when AI agents act outside their boundaries.

Who Should Take This Assessment?

This assessment is designed for:

What Does the Assessment Cover?

AI Agent Inventory

Do you know how many AI agents operate in your organisation? Is there a central registry? Can you track agent status in real-time?

Identity and Trust Verification

Can you verify which agent performed an action? Are agents certified before deployment? Is there cryptographic attribution?

Governance and Authority

Do agents have defined authority boundaries? Is there human oversight for high-risk decisions? Are boundaries enforced at runtime?

EU AI Act Compliance

Have you classified AI systems by risk level? Can you produce Article 13 transparency documentation? Are you ready for August 2026 enforcement?

Audit and Compliance Proof

Can you produce a complete audit trail on demand? Could you prove compliance during a specific time window? Are your records tamper-evident?

Security and Risk Monitoring

Do you monitor agent behaviour for anomalies? Can you detect attack patterns before damage occurs? Can you revoke access instantly?

Data Governance

Do you know what data your agents access? Are data access policies enforced per-agent at runtime? Would you know within seconds if sensitive data was accessed?

Operational Readiness

Do you have break-glass emergency override processes? Are they tested? Do they require multi-signature approval with time-limited tokens?

EU AI Act Enforcement Timeline

The EU AI Act entered into force on 1 August 2024. Key enforcement dates that affect AI agent deployments:

Organisations deploying AI agents in healthcare, finance, legal, employment, education, or law enforcement are classified as high-risk under Annex III and must demonstrate full compliance by August 2026.

How TBN Protocol Closes Governance Gaps

TBN Protocol is the trust identity layer for AI agents. It provides runtime governance infrastructure that makes compliance provable, not just promised. Every AI agent action is verified, governed, and auditable through cryptographic receipts.

Industries Most at Risk

Under the EU AI Act, these sectors are classified as high-risk and face the strictest compliance requirements for AI agent deployments:

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this assessment free?

Yes. No signup, no credit card, no commitment. Take the assessment and get your score immediately.

What happens with my data?

We do not share your details with third parties. If you submit the contact form, we use your information only to send your report and follow up about TBN Protocol.

What does my score mean?

0-30: Critical gaps. 30-60: Developing but exposed. 60-80: Advancing. 80-100: Leading. Most organisations score below 40 because the infrastructure for AI agent governance simply did not exist until now.

Does the EU AI Act apply to my company?

If you deploy AI systems that affect EU citizens, yes — regardless of where your company is based. This includes UK companies serving EU customers.

What are the penalties for non-compliance?

Fines up to 35 million EUR or 7% of global annual turnover for prohibited practices. Up to 15 million EUR or 3% for other violations. These are not theoretical — enforcement begins August 2026.
