AI Governance Essentials ↔ EU AI Act
3 canonical controls in Keel's library satisfy clauses of both AI Governance Essentials and EU AI Act. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don't repeat.
Controls that satisfy both
| Canonical control | AI Governance Essentials clauses | EU AI Act clauses |
|---|---|---|
| AI system inventory A maintained inventory of the AI systems the organization develops, deploys, or uses, with each system's purpose, owner, and risk classification. | GV.3 | HOBL-5 |
| AI system impact assessment A process to assess the potential impacts of AI systems on individuals, groups, and society, and to document and act on the results. | RM.1, RM.2 | HREQ-1 |
| Human oversight of AI Appropriate human oversight of AI systems, so people can understand, monitor, and intervene in how an AI system operates. | HO.1, HO.2 | HREQ-6 |
Clause identifiers (AI Governance Essentials and EU AI Act) are referenced factually for mapping. Keel is not affiliated with or endorsed by the bodies that publish these standards. Control descriptions are Keel's own; a framework's full authored control count is on its framework page.
Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, EU AI Act mostly lights up controls you already built for AI Governance Essentials. You're not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That's the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
