AI Act and DORA in one check — risk class per system and readiness per DORA pillar

Classify an AI system by risk class according to your role as provider, importer or deployer — with the prohibited practices of Article 5, the Annex III categories and the obligations that already apply versus those that come later — and at the same time assess your DORA readiness across the five pillars, with the supervisor that goes with your entity type.

Who it’s for

01Compliance officers at financial institutions who must set up both regimes at once and want to know where the biggest gaps are.
02CISOs and IT risk managers who want to plan the five DORA pillars by quarter and prioritise what is still open.
03Product and data teams deploying AI who want to know before deployment which risk class an application falls in.

What the tool does

✓ A risk classification per AI system across 22 use cases, split into unacceptable, high, limited and minimal risk✓ A checklist on the eight prohibited practices of Article 5, with the statutory penalty maximum that goes with them✓ Obligations by your role — provider, importer or deployer — split into what applies now and what starts later✓ The Annex III category for a high-risk application, plus separate flags for GPAI and biometric identification✓ The DORA supervisor per entity type across 21 categories, and whether the simplified framework of Article 16 applies✓ Readiness across the five DORA pillars with the requirement, the follow-up action and the associated deadline per pillar

Role and use case together determine what you must do

The same AI application produces very different obligations depending on your role. A provider must set up a risk management system, produce technical documentation and demonstrate conformity; a deployer must above all organise human oversight, keep logs and inform affected persons; an importer sits in between. The check lists those obligations by role and risk class, separating what already applies from what starts later.

On the DORA side the question is different: not classification but readiness. The five pillars — ICT risk management, incident reporting, testing, third-party risk and information sharing — are assessed one by one, with the requirement, the follow-up action and the deadline. Two of them carry the flag that they are most often missed in practice. Every report records your answers, the tool version and the dataset vintage, so a reassessment a quarter from now is directly comparable with this one.

Frequently asked questions about this tool

Can I assess several AI systems at once?
Not in one report: the check assesses one system at a time, with the role and use case you select for it. If you have a portfolio of systems, run the check per system and set the reports side by side. The prohibited-practices checklist, by contrast, concerns your organisation as a whole and is independent of the system assessed.
What do the penalty amounts mean?
They are the statutory maxima per category: € 35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover for prohibited practices, and € 15 million or 3% for infringements involving high and limited risk systems. They are not expected fines and not an estimate of enforcement likelihood. If you flag a prohibited practice, the tool shows that exposure separately from the risk class of the system assessed — the two are independent.
Are the deadlines given statutory?
The AI Act timeline follows the statutory application dates as amended by the Digital Omnibus; according to the source, Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 was published on 24 July 2026 and entered into force on 27 July 2026, making the deferral of the high-risk obligations to December 2027 binding. The DORA pillar deadlines are not statutory: they are planning targets from the source tool. The indication of which two pillars are most often missed is likewise an assertion by the source.
What does the DORA readiness percentage say?
It summarises your own answers: per pillar you indicate whether it is in place, in progress or still open, and the percentage weights those three. It is a summary figure the platform version adds, not an assessment by a supervisor and not a measure from the regulation. If you use the simplified framework of Article 16, the pillars are not assessed and there is therefore no percentage.
