Design Partner Stories
How early adopters are preparing for EU AI Act compliance — before the August 2, 2026 enforcement deadline.
Fintech
A 120-person fintech building AI-powered credit scoring
Challenge
EU AI Act Annex III §5 compliance (credit-worthiness assessment) ahead of the August 2026 enforcement deadline — covering automated Annex IV documentation and classification of their model pipeline under high-risk category.
Using Scanara for
Automated Annex IV documentation generation + AIRA (AI Risk Assessment) workflow across 2 Python repositories.
"We needed to know exactly which articles applied to us before we could start documenting. Scanara ran the scan, mapped everything to specific articles, and told us what we were missing — in a sprint, not a quarter."
Healthtech
A 35-person healthtech startup with AI diagnostics software
Challenge
Navigating the intersection of the EU Medical Device Regulation and the EU AI Act (Annex I path). The team needed to understand which obligations overlapped and what additional documentation was required beyond CE marking.
Using Scanara for
Risk classification against Annex III + GitHub merge gate to block non-compliant code from the diagnostics pipeline.
"The MDR and AI Act overlap was a nightmare to untangle manually. Scanara's scanner understood our stack was Annex I and surfaced the right Article 6 obligations automatically."
HR Software
A 200-person HR software company with AI recruitment tools
Challenge
Annex III §4 compliance for AI systems used in employment screening. Three separate repositories covering different stages of the recruitment pipeline, each with different risk profiles.
Using Scanara for
Code scanning across 3 repositories + Deployer FRIA (Fundamental Rights Impact Assessment) workflow for the hiring manager product.
"Running compliance across three repos manually would have taken months. Scanara scanned all three in one run and gave us a prioritized finding list mapped to articles. That's what we needed to start the FRIA."
Working toward the same deadline?
Design partner slots are limited. We work hands-on with early customers to make sure the scanner covers their specific stack and compliance obligations.
