EU Regulation Makes Better AI.
Not Slower AI.

If you're a compliance officer, operations lead, or procurement head in a regulated industry — this is for you.

What This Means for You

No manual compliance layer to bolt on after deployment

Compliance is enforced at the agent level, not added as a reporting wrapper after go-live.

NIS2, CSRD, and CBAM thresholds enforced automatically

Regulatory thresholds are checked at the agent level before any action executes. Not after.

EU data residency guaranteed via CLI, not a checkbox

Data stays in Finland/Germany. Enforced at the infrastructure level with hardware attestation, not a settings toggle.

Full audit trail, by design, not by request

Every agent action is logged to Firehorse with 7-year retention. Court-defensible. Always on.

You don't have to choose between AI capability and regulatory safety. We already made that tradeoff for you.

The Tradeoff You Shouldn't Have to Make

Most AI platforms treat compliance as a feature to add later — a reporting layer, a dashboard, a manual review step that slows everything down. That's the wrong architecture.

DWS IQ 6 was built from the ground up with EU AI Act, NIS2, CSRD, and Fit for 55 as design constraints, not afterthoughts. The result: agents that are both more capable and more trustworthy than systems that treat compliance as optional.

How It Works

Our agent harness architecture governs every agent action across your operations:

  • Regulatory thresholds loaded just-in-time, not memorised by the model
  • Every agent action logged with forensic-grade attribution (who authorised what, when)
  • Hardware-level isolation via KYA (Know Your Agent) — agents run in sandboxed MicroVMs, not shared containers
  • Human oversight built into the control flow, satisfying EU AI Act Article 14

20 Industries. Full Coverage.

If your industry is on this list, your compliance requirements are already modelled:

Power & Heat
Iron & Steel
Cement & Lime
Chemicals
Aviation
Maritime
Road Transport
Construction
Agriculture
Waste Mgmt
Aluminium
Pulp & Paper
Petroleum
Food & Bev
Glass & Ceramics
Mining
Logistics
Real Estate
Textiles
Electronics

The Window Is Closing

August 2026 is 5 months away. Competitors who build without compliance-first architecture will need to retrofit — NIST shift-left research puts that cost multiplier at 5–30x depending on when gaps are caught. The window to switch vendors without a crisis is now, not in Q3.
