Why QERYN?
Structure Your AI Governance with Audit-Grade Clarity
You're deploying AI systems faster than you can document them. Investors and clients ask if you're EU AI Act compliant... and you don't have the answer.
QERYN solves this: we audit what you've built, structure your governance, and deliver the documentation that supports regulatory readiness. From 2-week gap analysis to full use case audits and fractional governance support, we provide the expertise of an AI compliance team without building an in-house compliance team.
Backed by years of data governance in regulated industries, we understand regulatory expectations and investor due diligence requirements.
Data Governance DNA

Understanding AI Governance
Why does my AI system need governance?
AI governance ensures your system is safe, compliant, and trustworthy. Without it, you risk regulatory fines, reputational damage, and loss of investor confidence. As AI regulation evolves - starting with the EU AI Act - structured governance demonstrates control over your AI's behavior, data usage, and decision-making. For startups, governance means having the right documentation before regulators or customers ask for it.
Does my startup need to comply with the EU AI Act?
You need to comply if you deploy AI systems to EU users - even if your company is outside Europe. High-risk systems (recruitment tools, credit scoring, biometric ID...) must meet mandatory requirements. Common myth: "We're too small to be in scope." Wrong.
The Act applies based on risk level and market presence, not company size. If you use third-party AI in your product, you're a "deployer" with compliance obligations. Not sure? QERYN's gap analysis maps your use cases to the Act's requirements.
When do I need to be EU AI Act compliant?
Phased deadlines: February 2025 (prohibited practices banned), August 2026 (obligations for foundation models), August 2027 (full compliance for high-risk systems). Building governance takes 6-12 months—waiting until 2027 means competing for scarce expertise. If you're raising capital, investors are already asking for AI Act readiness. Enterprise clients will require compliance evidence in contracts by 2026. Early movers secure their advantage now.
