    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an AI governance evidence pack?

    An evidence pack is a structured bundle of documents that demonstrates your EU AI Act compliance—including AI inventory, classification memos, control implementation, training records, and vendor documentation. It's what you present to auditors, customers, or procurement teams.

    Why do procurement teams ask for AI governance documentation?

    Enterprise customers and public sector organizations increasingly require vendors to demonstrate AI compliance before contracting. The evidence pack answers their due diligence questions in one document.

    What should an evidence pack include?

    At minimum: AI system inventory, classification documentation, applicable obligations checklist, human oversight plan, training records, and vendor documentation. For high-risk systems, add FRIA reports and incident procedures.

    How often should we update our evidence pack?

    Refresh quarterly or when material changes occur—new AI systems, vendor changes, model updates, or regulatory guidance. Keep evidence validity periods tracked and renew before expiry.

    Can we use Klarvo to generate evidence packs?

    Yes. Klarvo automatically compiles all your AI governance documentation into audit-ready PDF and ZIP exports. One click generates a professional evidence pack from your current compliance data.
