EU AI Act for SaaS and software vendors
When your product ships AI features to many customers, responsibility splits between vendor, integrator, and customer. The EU AI Act requires clarity: which component is high-risk, where documentation obligations sit, and how updates stay traceable.
Typical SaaS situations
- AI capabilities in your platform (recommendations, text generation, classification)
- Multi-tenant setups with different usage patterns
- Fast release cycles – compliance must track version state
What SaaS teams should prioritize
- Inventory per product line and AI module – not just “one AI toggle”
- Risk classification along EU categories – including customer industries
- Link DPA/subprocessor topics cleanly to documentation and audit logs

Does the customer or we carry the main burden?
It depends on roles (provider vs. operator) and product shape. SimpleAct helps structure systems and risks – legal classification stays with your legal team.
How does this scale across many releases?
Through versioned reports and tamper-evident changes in the audit log – instead of loose documents per release.
Inventory and risk classes for your product
Capture modules centrally and run a defensible risk classification – the foundation for documentation and exports.
