Prepare for an authority inquiry

If an authority asks how you handle a particular AI use, the answer should be a few clicks, not a scramble. Here is what to have in place, and what to show.

Updated May 2026

What to have in place

  • A current register, so the AI you use and how you use it is written down.
  • Confirmed classifications, so high-risk uses have been reviewed by a person.
  • Generated documents for the duties that need them, and operational duties marked done.
  • An audit log that shows who did what and when.

What to show

For a specific system, you can show its classification and the reasoning, the documents that cover it, and the audit trail of when it was classified and reviewed. Export the register to PDF and the audit log to CSV, and give an auditor a read-only Auditor view of the entity if they want to look directly. See the audit log and using it as evidence and roles and your team.

When to involve counsel

An organised record lowers the temperature of any inquiry, but it is not a substitute for advice. For anything contested or high-stakes, involve your own lawyer. Veillo gives them a clean starting point rather than a blank page. See Veillo is compliance tooling, not a law firm.
