Opsio launches free AI governance assessment for EU AI Act compliance

Opsio has introduced a free online assessment to help European companies map AI use, generate governance documents and close gaps exposed by the EU AI Act. The tool is designed for companies that already use AI at work but lack formal rules, ownership or approval processes.

Why it matters: - European companies are already using ChatGPT, Copilot and other AI tools at work, often without approved rules or oversight. - The EU AI Act has made AI governance a management responsibility, and customers and tenders are increasingly asking for written AI policies. - Opsio says the free assessment helps companies identify gaps without starting a consulting project.

What happened: - Opsio, a Swedish cloud and AI company, launched a free AI Governance & Readiness Assessment for companies operating in Europe. - The assessment shows where a company stands across ten governance areas and produces four ready-to-adopt AI governance documents. - The tool is designed to be completed in about 40 minutes. - The assessment is available now at More information.

The details: - The questionnaire covers how a company uses AI today, including tools, data, people and vendors. - The assessment can be saved and shared so IT, HR and data protection teams can complete their parts separately. - The result is delivered immediately after submission. - The output includes a maturity score across ten areas, including acceptable use, privacy, information security, third-party AI and AI agents. - Areas that do not apply to a company are excluded instead of being scored. - The assessment generates four documents: an AI Governance Framework, an AI Acceptable Use Policy, an AI Vendor Due Diligence Checklist and an AI Risk Assessment Template. - The documents are customized with the company name, owners, approved tools and relevant regulations. - The documents are mapped to the EU AI Act and GDPR and are written with regard to ISO/IEC 42001, ISO/IEC 27001 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. - Opsio delivers editable Word files that the company owns. - Each document includes an appendix showing which answers shaped which clauses, so legal, IT and management can review them through normal approval processes. - The assessment is free, requires no card and carries no obligation. - The documents are an initial draft based on the company’s own answers and are not legal advice or a certification.

Between the lines: - Opsio is targeting a common problem: many companies use AI before they have a policy, named owner or review process in place. - The company is also responding to regulatory uncertainty that can push firms to delay AI adoption while competitors keep moving. - Johan Carlsson, Opsio’s Country Manager Sweden, said the EU AI Act does not require companies to be technical experts, but it does expect them to know which tools are approved, what data may be used and who is accountable. - Carlsson said the biggest risk for a European company is waiting too long and falling behind. - Opsio says it sees the same pattern among customers in Sweden, the rest of Europe and India.

What's next: - Companies can use the assessment as a first step toward formal AI governance before adopting new tools. - Opsio says it can help with the next steps after the free assessment. - The EU AI Act continues to roll out in stages, including later deadlines for high-risk AI systems. - The most serious violations can bring fines of up to EUR 35 million or 7 percent of global annual turnover.

The bottom line: - Opsio is packaging AI compliance into a quick, free workflow for companies that already use AI but have not formalized the rules around it.
