Regulatory Compliance Coverage

Our certification framework maps directly to the binding AI governance obligations of five major jurisdictions. One certification. Five regulatory frameworks covered.

European Union Canada United States UAE Switzerland
Regulators are not waiting. The EU AI Act is already in force. Canada is rebuilding its federal AI legislation. The US NIST framework is the de facto national standard. The UAE enforces a binding data protection law and a national AI Charter. Your clients in these jurisdictions face real obligations today. Our certification documents exactly how you meet them — principle by principle, category by category.
EU Regulation 2024/1689: prohibitions in force, high-risk obligations from 2026

Canada PIPEDA & Federal AI Governance Framework

Canada

Regulatory anchors: PIPEDA, Directive on Automated Decision-Making, Canadian Human Rights Act, OECD AI Principles, OSFI Guideline E-23

Our framework is built on existing binding obligations and AIDA's stated intent — ensuring full readiness when federal AI legislation is reintroduced. Canadian organisations in finance, healthcare, and employment face real obligations today.
