What is regulatory change monitoring?
Regulatory change monitoring tracks when laws, delegated acts, harmonised standards, or regulatory guidance change — and connects each change to the AI systems and governance decisions it affects.
When a new delegated act modifies the Annex III high-risk categories, the monitoring system identifies which AI systems were classified under the prior version and may need re-screening. This is not a legal newsletter — it is operational infrastructure that translates legal change events into governance action.
Key points
- Monitoring must be connected to the governance record. Knowing that the law changed is not enough — knowing which systems are affected and which decisions were made under the prior version is what creates governance value.
- Each legal change event may trigger re-screening for affected systems, updated obligation mapping, or new evidence requirements.
- Monitoring covers all three regulatory frameworks: AI Act delegated acts and guidance, GDPR regulatory decisions, and NIS2 implementing acts.
- The monitoring output is not a report — it is a queue of governance actions assigned to responsible persons.
Why it matters
The EU AI Act will evolve significantly over the coming years through delegated acts, harmonised standards, and guidance documents. Organisations that do not monitor these changes will find their governance records silently becoming outdated. Regulatory change monitoring closes this gap by turning legal change into a governed response — not a surprise at the next audit.
How EAB approaches this
EAB's Re-Screening Queue monitors regulatory changes and flags affected systems. Legal Source Mapping connects governance decisions to specific legal references. Legal-version anchoring ensures each decision's legal basis is identifiable even after the law has changed.
