A control panel for monitoring high-risk AI systems
Guardian is a continuous monitoring and auditability platform for high-risk AI systems under the EU AI Act. It gives compliance, risk, legal, and AI teams one shared system for monitoring signals, logging incidents, maintaining evidence, and staying ready for review.
What Guardian does
Guardian gives teams a practical operating layer for high-risk AI systems in production.
It brings monitoring signals, incident workflows, oversight records, and evidence maintenance into one shared system — so teams are not reconstructing what happened when an audit, regulator, or internal review arrives. For what the law expects at a high level, see the EU AI Act page; for how we define metrics and controls, see methodology.
Guardian is not a legal verdict or a certification tool. It helps teams maintain a defensible operational record around one live AI system first, then expand over time.
Example deployment contexts: hiring and HR AI and credit, fraud, and underwriting. For how monitoring is usually structured in production, see how to monitor high-risk AI systems.
What teams can do with Guardian
- Document in-scope AI systems and maintain a clear system record
- Track drift, fairness, data quality, and performance signals over time
- Set thresholds and flag changes that need review
- Log incidents, assign follow-up, and maintain resolution history
- Maintain oversight records and supporting evidence in one place
- Prepare audit-ready exports for internal and external review
- Give compliance, legal, risk, and AI teams role-appropriate visibility
What becomes easier with Guardian
- Answering regulator, auditor, or board questions faster
- Keeping compliance, legal, risk, and ML teams aligned on the same system
- Showing what changed, when it changed, and how the team responded
- Moving from scattered documentation to a continuous evidence trail
- Starting with one system first instead of launching a broad transformation programme
What evidence Guardian helps maintain
- Risk management documentation
- Data governance records
- Technical documentation
- Human oversight procedures and actions
- Post-deployment monitoring records
- Incident logs with follow-up and resolution trails
Guardian helps teams turn these requirements into a maintainable operating record around one real system in production.
Built for cross-functional teams
| Role | In practice |
|---|---|
| Compliance | Readiness tracking, evidence bundles, regulator-facing preparation |
| Risk | Thresholds, alerts, review workflows, risk record maintenance |
| Legal | Incident documentation, defensible records, review support |
| AI / ML | Monitoring signals, drift and fairness visibility, incident input |
| Operations / Product | Oversight actions, workflow visibility, follow-up coordination |
Frequently asked questions
- Is Guardian a compliance certification tool?
- No. Guardian is a monitoring and auditability platform. It helps teams maintain the signals, records, and evidence that support EU AI Act readiness. Legal compliance remains a separate determination.
- Does Guardian process raw personal data?
- Guardian is designed around metrics, signals, and operational records rather than raw personal data. The focus is on monitoring outputs, incidents, and evidence maintenance.
- Can Guardian integrate with existing monitoring tools?
- Yes. Guardian is designed to sit on top of existing models and monitoring infrastructure. It helps turn existing signals into a structured operational and evidence record.
- How do teams usually get started?
- Most teams start with one high-risk AI system in the 4-week Readiness Sprint. That creates a first monitoring and evidence baseline before expanding further.
