Why RiskForge exists

Risk management system

Article 9 becomes enforceable on 2 August 2026 for high-risk AI systems and requires a documented, lifecycle-long risk management system — not a one-time assessment. Failure to maintain it routes through the Article 16 provider obligations and is sanctionable up to €15M or 3% of global annual turnover under Article 99(4). The operational consequence is that risk management must produce versioned, reviewable artefacts mapped to identified hazards, with testing evidence sufficient to defend the residual-risk judgement.
