GDPR · EU AI Act · Integration

Two regulations. One system. One record.

An AI system that processes personal data is simultaneously subject to Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 and Regulation (EU) 2016/679. Managing these in separate tools means managing the same system twice — and producing two records that an auditor must reconcile.

EAB connects EU AI Act and GDPR obligations at the system level. One registration. One evidence layer. One audit trail across both frameworks.

Same system registration Shared evidence layer One audit trail
The integration principle

“When the same AI system appears in two separate compliance records, one of them is a copy. Copies drift — and at audit time, one of them will be wrong.”

EAB Design Principle · Single Source of Record
How the connection works

Same system. Same evidence. Same record.

In EAB, an AI system is registered once. That single registration is the anchor for both the EU AI Act governance chain and the GDPR processing activity record. When a processing activity is linked to an AI system, the relevant AI Act context — risk classification, actor role, data governance documentation, human oversight provisions — is immediately available in the GDPR workflow without re-entry.

Evidence works the same way. Training data documentation that satisfies Art. 10 of the EU AI Act and Art. 32 of the GDPR is collected once and referenced from both obligation records. An organisation does not maintain two versions of the same document in two separate systems — the document exists once and is linked where it applies.

At audit time, this means one record instead of two. An auditor who needs to assess both the EU AI Act classification and the GDPR processing basis for an AI system does not need to cross-reference documents from two tools. The connection is structural — already in the record, already attributed, already linked to the relevant articles in both regulations.

What Is Shared
  • SystemOne registration — anchors EU AI Act and GDPR records
  • DataTraining data documentation — Art. 10 & Art. 32
  • RiskRisk classification context available in DPIA
  • OversightHuman oversight provisions shared across records
  • EvidenceEvidence collected once, referenced where it applies
  • TrailOne audit trail — decisions attributed across both frameworks
Bridge capabilities

Six connection points between GDPR and EU AI Act.

Each connection is structural — not a link in a document, but a relationship in the governance record.

Registration

One System, Two Frameworks

A single AI system registration activates both the EU AI Act governance chain and the GDPR processing activity workflow. The system is not entered twice. Changes to the system profile are reflected in both frameworks automatically.

Art. 10 / Art. 32

Shared Data Governance Documentation

Training data governance documentation — origin, quality controls, bias assessments — satisfies requirements under both Art. 10 of the EU AI Act and Art. 32 of the GDPR. Collected once, referenced from both obligation records.

DPIA

AI Act Risk Context in DPIA

When a DPIA is initiated for a processing activity involving an AI system, the AI Act risk classification, human oversight provisions, and obligation profile are pre-loaded. The DPIA reflects the actual characteristics of the system — not a description produced independently for the assessment.

Art. 14 / Art. 13

Transparency Obligations

Transparency obligations under Art. 13 of the EU AI Act and information obligations under Art. 13 of the GDPR overlap significantly for AI systems that process personal data. EAB surfaces these overlaps and avoids duplication in the obligation set.

Evidence

Single Evidence Layer

Evidence items are stored once and linked to every obligation they satisfy — across both EU AI Act and GDPR. A TOM profile satisfying Art. 32 GDPR may also satisfy human oversight documentation requirements under Art. 14 AI Act. The link is explicit in the record.

Audit

One Audit Trail

Decisions under both frameworks are in the same record. An auditor reviewing both the EU AI Act classification and the GDPR processing basis for an AI system works from one record — not two systems with incompatible audit logs.

Connect GDPR governance to the record that already exists.

Available as an add-on for Professional and Enterprise. One registration. One evidence layer. One audit trail across EU AI Act and GDPR.
