AI Vendor Assessment for EU

A three-artifact deliverable: an Executive Summary Word document for sign-off (recommendation, top risk flags, top strengths, sign-off block), a 30-question scored Excel workbook with auto-summing category totals and an Evidence Request List tab, and a companion Procurement Checklist with foundational readiness items. Aligned to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Annex A or the NIST AI Risk Management Framework — your choice at form time.

EU-specific obligations covered

The output is anchored on the regulations that apply to AI deployments in EU. The top frameworks cited:

  • EU AI Act (Regulation 2024/1689)regulation · In force

    Providers and deployers of high-risk AI systems must complete conformity assessments, maintain technical documentation, implement human oversight measures, and register systems in the EU AI Act public database before market placement.

  • General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679)regulation · In force

    Controllers must establish a lawful basis for all personal data processing, honour data subject rights including the right to explanation of automated decisions, and report personal data breaches to supervisory authorities within 72 hours.

  • EU Data Act (Regulation 2023/2854)regulation · In force

    Manufacturers of connected products must ensure users can easily access data generated by their products and share it with authorised third parties upon request, without discrimination or unfair contractual terms.

  • EU Data Governance Act (Regulation 2022/868)regulation · In force

    Data intermediation service providers must notify their national competent authority before commencing operations, remain neutral and not use data for their own commercial purposes, and maintain structural separation between intermediation and other services.

How the AI Vendor Assessment approaches this

You describe the vendor (name and product or service) and your organisation's context — jurisdiction, industry, staff size, risk appetite — and choose your alignment framework: ISO/IEC 42001:2023, NIST AI RMF, or both. The tool produces a structured, evidence-based assessment ready to hand to your procurement, legal, and information-security teams.

The Executive Summary Word document is a one-page sign-off artifact — recommendation (Approved / Conditional / Rejected), top three risk flags, top three strengths, sign-off block. The detailed Excel workbook is the working assessment instrument: 30 questions across six weighted categories, with evidence guidance, regulatory call-outs, and an auto-summing scoring sheet. Both are AI-assisted drafting aids intended to accelerate review by qualified practitioners.

What you get

  • Four deliverables, three jobs: Executive Summary (.docx) for board sign-off, Detailed Workbook (.xlsx) for the working scoring (with the Evidence Request List on a dedicated tab inside it), Procurement Checklist (.xlsx) for foundational readiness — no overlap, no confusion.
  • Aligned to ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Annex A or NIST AI Risk Management Framework — your choice. Every question carries the framework reference and (where applicable) jurisdiction-critical regulatory call-outs.
  • Excel formulas auto-sum each category total, calculate the weighted overall percentage, and surface Pass / Conditional / Reject thresholds — procurement teams don't have to re-key or re-calculate.
  • Tailored to the vendor's product category, your industry, jurisdiction, and organisation size — not a generic checklist. Designed for review and sign-off by qualified procurement, legal, or information-security practitioners.
