01 Transparency
Decentralised AI use
- AI is increasingly used directly in business units and processes.
- New use cases emerge decentrally across the company.
- A central overview of actual usage is often missing.
AI Compliance Platform
AI compliance for the Mittelstand. Simple. Structured. Continuous.
NADOVO helps companies capture AI systems and AI processes in a structured way, assess risks and implement AI compliance continuously.
Challenges
Three key challenges for companies dealing with AI and the EU AI Act
Which AI systems and AI processes are in use? How are they used, and which risks and regulatory requirements arise from them, for example through the EU AI Act?
02 Assessment
AI systems alone do not create an overview
- A list of the AI systems in use is not enough.
- Only linking them to the specific area of application reveals the context of use.
- This creates the AI process - and thus the basis for risk classes and responsibilities.
03 Governance
Regulatory requirements meet dynamic AI use
- The EU AI Act and other requirements have to be translated to concrete AI applications.
- At the same time, systems, models and areas of application keep changing.
- Assessments, measures and compliance structures therefore have to be kept up to date continuously.
From AI use to AI compliance.
AI compliance does not start with a tool. It starts with a clear understanding of which AI systems and AI processes are used in the company.
The NADOVO Framework offers a tool-independent approach to capture AI use in a structured way, assess risks, implement requirements and continuously develop AI compliance. The NADOVO Platform turns this approach into a practical working environment.
Discover - making AI systems visible.
Companies capture the AI systems in use and create a structured inventory as the basis for the next steps.
Define - describing and linking AI processes.
The assets in use are linked to their concrete areas of application to form AI processes. This creates the context needed for assessment and responsibility.
Assess - evaluating risks in the concrete context of use.
Analyse and identify risks, then assess them. Define measures. Complete and document the assessment.
Implement - putting measures and AI literacy into practice.
Measures resulting from the assessment are documented and tracked. In addition, required AI competencies can be captured and developed in a structured way.
Monitor - detecting change and keeping compliance current.
New systems, changes to processes, updates and relevant AI incidents are documented so that AI compliance stays up to date.
One principle connects all phases
AI risks do not arise from the system alone, but from its concrete use in a given process. That is why NADOVO looks at both together.
Asset+Area of application=AI process
This is what determines the risk class.
AI compliance put into practice.
The NADOVO Platform makes AI compliance simple and structured to handle in day-to-day operations.
It combines the NADOVO Framework approach with a practical platform for capturing and assessing AI systems and AI processes, deriving measures and documenting compliance evidence in a structured way.
Organisations use the NADOVO Platform to implement AI compliance in a structured way - on their own, together with consulting partners or with NADOVO Managed.
Discover
Making AI systems visible.
Capture the AI systems in use in a structured way and create a solid foundation for your AI compliance.
Define
Structuring AI processes.
Link AI systems to their concrete areas of application and create the context needed for assessment and responsibility.
Assess
Assessing risks in context.
Analyse and identify risks, then assess them. Define measures. Complete and document the assessment.
Implement
Implementing measures and AI literacy.

Further functionality
NADOVO supports additional tasks for documentation, collaboration and traceability within AI compliance processes.
AI Content Register
Document AI-generated content in a structured and traceable way. Link content to AI systems, processes and responsibilities and build reliable documentation for internal policies and regulatory requirements.
Reports and evidence
Evidence, reports and the audit trail bundle the documented status and relevant changes.
Roles and approvals
NADOVO supports different roles and permissions within AI compliance processes. Responsibilities can be mapped in a structured way and approvals implemented traceably through defined processes.
Versioning
Approved and archived process states remain comparable and traceable through the change history.
Three services. One platform.
The NADOVO Platform was built for different types of organisations. Companies can implement their AI compliance on their own, consulting partners can support their clients, or NADOVO takes over ongoing support as a service.

NADOVO Advisor
Use by consulting partners for their clients
Consulting partners use NADOVO as a platform to implement AI compliance for their clients in a structured way and support them on an ongoing basis.

Knowledge on AI compliance.
AI compliance keeps evolving. With guides, articles and practical support, NADOVO helps companies and consulting partners understand regulatory requirements and implement them in a structured way.
Framework Guide
The NADOVO Framework Guide
The NADOVO Framework Guide describes the methodological approach behind the platform and shows how companies can bring together AI systems, AI processes and regulatory requirements in a structured way.
Download Framework GuideThe AI Process: The Core of the NADOVO Methodology for AI Compliance
Systems don't have a risk class, use cases do. Why the AI process - AI system + area of application - is the right unit for AI compliance: the core formula of NADOVO's methodology, on which risk class, obligations and your role all hang.
Read articleAI Content Register: Now in the NADOVO Platform
You don't have to label everything your AI produces - but you must be able to prove why not. The new AI Content Register in the NADOVO Platform makes review and labelling under Art. 50 EU AI Act verifiable and audit-proof.
Read articleAI Content Labelling: Mandatory since August 2026
Article 50 of the EU AI Act has applied since 2 August 2026 - and the Digital Omnibus did not postpone it. Who has to label what (chatbots, deepfakes, AI images), the exception almost everyone overlooks, and why transparency isn't a risk but a signal.

Selected studies and analyses show how quickly AI use in companies is evolving and which challenges this creates for transparency, governance and responsibility.

AI at Work Is Here. Now Comes the Hard Part
75 % of knowledge workers already use AI at work. 78 % of AI users bring their own AI tools to work - an indication of how quickly AI use emerges decentrally in companies.

Superagency in the workplace
Actual AI use is developing faster than many organisations can govern it. McKinsey's research shows a clear gap between the momentum at employee level and organisational maturity in adopting AI.

View study ↗Frequently asked questions
Does the EU AI Act even apply to us?
In most cases, yes. Companies are affected as soon as AI is used. What matters is not whether the AI was developed in-house, but whether it is used in the company's own processes.
What is the concrete benefit of AI compliance?
AI compliance does not only protect against risks. It creates the foundation for using AI in the company sustainably and profitably.
Is AI compliance only a compliance topic?
No. AI compliance does not only mean meeting legal requirements. It ensures that AI is used in the company in an orderly, responsible and strategic way.
When should we act?
As soon as AI in the company is more than a test. Structures defined early create order before risks, duplicate structures and liability questions take hold.
Is this not just bureaucracy?
No. Structured AI compliance creates clear responsibilities, speeds up decision-making and reduces risks. It is not an obstacle to innovation, but its safeguard.
Why NADOVO?
Artificial intelligence is changing companies faster than classic IT. New AI use cases emerge decentrally, are used in a wide range of processes and keep evolving. At the same time, regulatory requirements are rising.
We are convinced that companies need more than individual documents or checklists for this. That is why we built NADOVO: a structured approach that combines methodology, platform and services into an end-to-end solution for AI compliance.
What we stand for
- Making complexity understandable.
- Translating methodology consistently into software.
- Structure instead of isolated measures.
- Understanding AI compliance as a continuous process.
