The Cyprus Presidency of the EU Council in early 2026 has put AI Governance at the top of the local agenda. As the “Digital Omnibus” proposal sparks debates, Cypriot tech firms are facing the first wave of High-Risk AI obligations under the EU AI Act.

• The August 2026 Deadline: Obligations for high-risk AI systems (used in recruitment, banking, and critical infrastructure) become mandatory this year.

• AI TRiSM in Cyprus: Local startups are using Enactia to manage AI Trust, Risk, and Security Management (TRiSM), ensuring their algorithms are unbiased and explainable.

• Preserving EU Trade: Compliance is the ticket to the single market. Cypriot developers are using Enactia to prove their AI systems meet the “Brussels Effect” standards.

The Enactia Edge: Enactia is the only GRC platform born in Cyprus that provides a dedicated AI Governance module, helping you map your AI inventory and perform the required Fundamental Rights Impact Assessments (FRIA).
