Know Your AI Risk Level in Minutes
Our intelligent classifier analyzes your AI system against EU AI Act criteria and instantly determines your risk category—so you know exactly which requirements apply to you.
Most Companies Don't Know Their AI Risk Level
The EU AI Act categorizes AI systems into four risk tiers—but determining where your AI falls isn't straightforward.
Misclassification is Expensive
Classify too high, and you waste resources on unnecessary compliance. Classify too low, and you face fines up to €35 million. The stakes couldn't be higher.
400+ Pages of Regulation
The EU AI Act spans hundreds of pages with complex decision trees, cross-references to Annex I products, and nuanced category definitions. Most teams don't have weeks to parse legal text.
Deadlines Are Approaching
High-risk AI requirements take effect August 2026. By the time you figure out your classification manually, you may not have enough runway to achieve compliance.
That's why we built an intelligent classification engine that does in minutes what used to take weeks.

How Risk Classification Works
Describe Your AI System
Answer guided questions about your AI's purpose, the decisions it influences, the data it processes, and the people it affects. No legal expertise required—we translate technical details into compliance language.
Automatic Analysis
Our classification engine maps your responses to Annex III high-risk categories, Annex I product integrations, prohibited practices under Article 5, and GPAI model usage.
Get Your Classification
Receive a clear determination: Unacceptable Risk (prohibited), High-Risk (full compliance required), Limited Risk (transparency obligations), or Minimal Risk (no specific requirements).
See Your Roadmap
Based on your classification, get a personalized compliance roadmap showing exactly which requirements apply, key deadlines, and recommended next steps.
Understanding the Four Risk Levels
Unacceptable Risk (Prohibited)
AI practices that are banned entirely under the EU AI Act. No compliance pathway exists.
Examples: Social scoring, real-time facial recognition in public spaces, emotion recognition in workplaces, AI manipulation of vulnerable groups.
High-Risk
AI systems with significant impact on health, safety, or fundamental rights. Subject to comprehensive compliance requirements.
Examples: AI in recruitment and hiring, credit scoring, insurance pricing, educational assessment, medical diagnosis, law enforcement tools.
Limited Risk
AI systems that interact with people or generate content. Subject to transparency obligations.
Examples: Chatbots, AI-generated content, emotion recognition (where permitted), deepfakes.
Minimal Risk
AI systems with no specific regulatory requirements under the EU AI Act.
Examples: Spam filters, recommendation systems, inventory management, AI in video games.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our classification engine is built on the complete EU AI Act text, official EU guidance, and ongoing regulatory interpretations. For straightforward cases, automated classification is highly reliable. For edge cases or novel AI applications, we flag areas of uncertainty and recommend human review.
If your AI system could fall into multiple categories, the highest applicable risk level applies. Our engine identifies all potential categories and explains the classification logic.
Classification is the first step—it tells you which requirements apply. Compliance means implementing those requirements. Protectron helps with both: classification first, then requirement tracking, documentation, and evidence management.
The EU AI Act is being implemented in phases, with ongoing guidance from the AI Office. Our classification engine is updated to reflect new interpretations and clarifications. Your classification remains current as long as you maintain your Protectron account.
Yes. Most organizations have multiple AI systems with different risk profiles. Protectron supports unlimited classifications across all your AI systems, with a unified dashboard view.
Absolutely. Your AI system details and classification results are encrypted and stored in EU data centers. We never share your data with third parties. See our Security page for details.
