ISMS risk management is extended to include AI-specific aspects. This allows risks arising from varying data quality, bias, and model behavior to be identified and managed. It also takes into account the impact on fundamental rights, security and compliance. Athereon GRC assesses risks including the probability of occurrence and the extent of damage.

"By using Athereon GRC, we were able to link the requirements of the various standards (ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, BSI C5, ISO 27701) and thus process them in just one place.

The effort required to maintain the respective requirements of these standards and norms and the complexity that normally accompanies them have been significantly reduced through the use of Athereon GRC.

I would like to highlight two points in particular:

1) Open communication regarding customer requests and feature requests at all times. These are usually implemented very promptly.

2) The always fast and competent support from the support team.

Many thanks to the Athereon GRC team for the collaboration!"

People that are planning something

Collaboration with Athereon GRC was very straightforward, both during project implementation and ongoing use. There was always a competent contact person. Any issues that arose were resolved promptly after reporting, and questions about specific Athereon GRC features were always answered quickly. Furthermore, ideas for new features or suggestions for improvements are received with great interest and then published in a future release.

We've come to value the unbureaucratic, customer-focused collaboration as our greatest advantage and strength, something we sometimes miss with other providers. We also particularly like the videos on Athereon GRC that have been published recently.

Athereon GRC can definitely be recommended for public sector administrations of our size.

FAQ

Get detailed answers to the most frequently asked questions.

What does the EU AI Act change for European countries?

For Germany and all member states of the European Union, the EU AI Act (also known as “AI Law” or “AI Regulation”) means that AI can no longer be used without rules. Companies and authorities must work according to clear guidelines, AI risks must be assessed and controlled, and violations can be costly. At the same time, the AI Act creates a common European market and legal framework designed to promote trust, security, and innovation-friendly conditions for AI.

Is training mandatory under the EU AI Act?

Article 4 of the EU AI Act states that providers and users of AI systems must ensure that employees or other persons who operate, deploy, or use AI systems on behalf of the company have an adequate level of AI literacy. This includes taking appropriate measures to impart this knowledge, e.g., through training or education. The regulation does not specify the content, duration, or form of the training in detail; rather, it provides a qualitative framework: knowledge about risks, safe use, legal obligations, etc. must be available.

What are the EU AI Act risk classes?

The EU AI Act distinguishes between four or rather five risk classes for AI systems: Prohibited AI with Unacceptable Risk, High Risk AI, Limited Risk AI, Minimal Risk AI, and, in addition, General Purpose AI, i.e., the basic models (e.g., LLMs such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.).

Does Athereon GRC provide the EU AI Act as a PDF in my language?

The content of the EU AI Act and its regulatory requirements are integrated into Athereon GRC's software and can be viewed by users at any time in text form and mapped to specific measures. As an EU regulation, the EU AI Act is available in all official European languages.
