EU AI Act compliance for Microsoft AI users

Organizations using Microsoft Copilot, Azure OpenAI, or Power BI Copilot in the EU face specific compliance obligations under the EU AI Act. The key requirements are:

• Article 6 — AI system inventory and risk classification.
• Article 10 — data governance for training and operational data.
• Article 11 — technical documentation for each AI system.
• Article 12 — record-keeping and logging requirements.
• Article 13 — transparency obligations for AI-generated outputs.
• Article 14 — human oversight mechanisms for high-risk AI.
• Article 15 — accuracy, robustness, and cybersecurity standards.
• Article 17 — post-market monitoring and incident reporting.
• Article 43 — conformity assessment for high-risk AI systems.

NIST AI RMF: the US federal baseline

NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0) is the de facto US federal AI governance baseline in 2026. It is increasingly required by state, local, and regulated commercial buyers.

EPC Group implements NIST AI RMF for enterprise clients — mapping its four core functions (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage) to Microsoft tooling including Purview, Defender for Cloud, and Azure Policy.
