Risk classification assessment

The risk classification assessment is a guided questionnaire that helps you determine the appropriate risk classification for your use case, based on the EU AI Act. This assessment is based on the Algorithm Audit Implementation Tool and provides a structured way to evaluate your AI system against the criteria defined in the EU AI Act.

Starting an assessment​

  1. Navigate to the use case page
    • For use cases without an existing risk classification: select Assess this use case in the Risk classification section
    • For use cases that have a risk classification assigned: select Risk classification assessment from the options menu
  3. Follow the step-by-step questionnaire, answering questions about your AI system's purpose, capabilities, and potential impacts

Assessment structure​

The assessment guides you through several key questions to determine:

  • Whether your system falls under the EU AI Act's definition of an AI system
  • The intended purpose and application domain of your system
  • Potential prohibited uses under Article 5
  • High-risk criteria as defined in Articles 6-7
  • Specific use cases that automatically qualify as high-risk

Based on your responses, Deeploy suggests the most appropriate risk classification for your use case.

Saving progress​

Save your assessment at any point and return to complete it later:

  1. Select Exit at the top and confirm to save the assessment
  2. When you're ready to continue, return to your use case page
  3. Select Continue assessment to pick up where you left off

Completing the assessment​

After completing all questions, you'll receive a recommended risk classification based on your answers. You can:

  1. Apply the recommendation to update your use case with the recommended risk classification
  2. Download the PDF report and review your answers

The resulting risk classification appears on your use case page and can determine applicable controls from your control framework.

tip

Retake the assessment at any time if your use case changes or if you need to refine your classification.
