Artikel 43 1.
|
För AI-system med hög risk som förtecknas i punkt 1 i bilaga III ska leverantören, när den vill visa att ett AI-system med hög risk uppfyller kraven i avsnitt 2 och den har tillämpat de harmoniserade standarder som avses i artikel 40 eller, i tillämpliga fall, de gemensamma specifikationer som avses i artikel 41, välja ett av följande förfaranden för bedömning av överensstämmelse grundat på
a)
intern kontroll som avses i bilaga VI, eller
b)
en bedömning av kvalitetsstyrningssystemet och en bedömning av den tekniska dokumentationen, med deltagande av ett anmält organ, som avses i bilaga VII.
När leverantören vill visa att ett AI-system med hög risk uppfyller de krav som fastställs i avsnitt 2 ska leverantören följa det förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse som fastställs i bilaga VII i följande fall:
a)
De harmoniserade standarder som avses i artikel 40 saknas, och de gemensamma specifikationer som avses i artikel 41 är inte tillgängliga.
b)
Leverantören har inte tillämpat eller har endast tillämpat en del av den harmoniserade standarden.
c)
De gemensamma specifikationer som avses i led a finns men leverantören har inte tillämpat dem.
d)
En eller flera av de harmoniserade standarder som avses i led a har offentliggjorts med en begränsning och endast för den del av standarden som begränsades.
För det förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse som avses i bilaga VII får leverantören välja vilket av de anmälda organen som helst. Om AI-systemet med hög risk är avsett att tas i bruk av brottsbekämpande myndigheter, migrationsmyndigheter eller asylmyndigheter eller av unionens institutioner, organ eller byråer ska dock den marknadskontrollmyndighet som avses i artikel 74.8 eller 74.9, beroende på vad som är tillämpligt, fungera som anmält organ.

Artikel 43 2.
|
För de AI-system med hög risk som avses i punkterna 2–8 i bilaga III ska leverantörer följa det förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse grundat på intern kontroll som avses i bilaga VI, vilket inte föreskriver att ett anmält organ ska delta.

Artikel 43 3.
|
För AI-system med hög risk som omfattas av unionens harmoniseringslagstiftning som förtecknas i avsnitt A i bilaga I ska leverantören av systemet följa det relevanta förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse som krävs i enlighet med den relevanta unionsharmoniseringslagstiftningen. Kraven i avsnitt 2 i detta kapitel ska tillämpas på de AI-systemen med hög risk och ska ingå i den bedömningen. En bedömning av det kvalitetsstyrningssystem som fastställs i artikel 17 ska också göras, och punkterna 3, 4.3, 4.4 och 4.5, punkt 4.6 femte stycket och punkt 5 i bilaga VII ska tillämpas. Vid denna bedömning av överensstämmelse ska anmälda organ som har anmälts enligt unionens harmoniseringslagstiftning som förtecknas i avsnitt A i bilaga I ha befogenhet att bedöma huruvida AI-system med hög risk överensstämmer med kraven i avsnitt 2 i detta kapitel, förutsatt att dessa anmälda organs överensstämmelse med kraven i artikel 31.4, 31.5, 31.10 och 31.11 har bedömts i samband med anmälningsförfarandet i enlighet med den relevanta unionsharmoniseringslagstiftningen, vilket ska framgå av bedömningen som en del av den befintliga anmälan. Utan att det påverkar tillämpningen av artikel 28 ska sådana anmälda organ som har anmälts enligt unionens harmoniseringslagstiftning i avsnitt A i bilaga I ansöka om att bli utsedda i enlighet med avsnitt 4 i detta kapitel senast den 28 januari 2028. Om unionens harmoniseringslagstiftning som förtecknas i avsnitt A i bilaga I ger produkttillverkaren alternativet att förlita sig på en bedömning av överensstämmelse som inte inbegriper en tredje part, får tillverkaren, om den har tillämpat harmoniserade standarder för att säkerställa överensstämmelse med alla relevanta krav, använda detta alternativ endast om den också har tillämpat harmoniserade standarder eller, i tillämpliga fall, de gemensamma specifikationer som avses i artikel 41, som omfattar samtliga krav som anges i avsnitt 2 i detta kapitel. Klassificeringen av en produkt som ett AI-system med hög risk i enlighet med artikel 6.1 påverkar inte valet av det förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse som tillhandahålls tillverkare av produkter som omfattas av unionens harmoniseringslagstiftning som förtecknas i avsnitt A i bilaga I, inbegripet, i tillämpliga fall, alternativet att förlita sig på harmoniserade standarder. Tillverkarna av sådana produkter är inte skyldiga att välja ett förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse som inbegriper tredjepartsbedömning av överensstämmelse endast på grund av att produkten innehåller ett AI-system med hög risk som säkerhetskomponent, om detta inte krävs enligt unionens harmoniseringslagstiftning som förtecknas i avsnitt A i bilaga I. Om ett AI-system med hög risk omfattas av både unionens harmoniseringslagstiftning som förtecknas i avsnitt A i bilaga I och av en av de kategorier som förtecknas i bilaga III ska leverantören av det systemet följa det relevanta förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse som krävs enligt den relevanta unionsharmoniseringslagstiftning som förtecknas i avsnitt A i bilaga I.

Artikel 43 4.
|
AI-system med hög risk som redan har varit föremål för ett förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse ska genomgå ett nytt förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse i fall av en väsentlig ändring, oavsett om det ändrade systemet är avsett att distribueras vidare eller fortsätter att användas av den nuvarande tillhandahållaren. När det gäller AI-system med hög risk som fortsätter att lära sig efter att det har släppts ut på marknaden eller tagits i bruk, ska sådana ändringar av AI-systemet med hög risk och dess prestanda som leverantören på förhand har fastställt vid tidpunkten för den inledande bedömningen av överensstämmelse och som är en del av den information som ingår i den tekniska dokumentation som avses i punkt 2 f i bilaga IV inte utgöra en väsentlig ändring.

Artikel 43 6.
|
Kommissionen ges befogenhet att anta delegerade akter i enlighet med artikel 97 för att ändra punkterna 1 och 2 i den här artikeln i syfte att låta de AI-system med hög risk som avses i punkterna 2–8 i bilaga III omfattas av det förfarande för bedömning av överensstämmelse som avses i bilaga VII eller delar därav. Kommissionen ska anta sådana delegerade akter med beaktande av hur ändamålsenligt förfarandet för bedömning av överensstämmelse grundat på intern kontroll enligt bilaga VI är när det gäller att förebygga eller minimera de risker för hälsa, säkerhet och skyddet av grundläggande rättigheter som sådana system medför samt vilken tillgång det finns till tillräcklig kapacitet och tillräckliga resurser bland anmälda organ.

Conformity Assessment
Description
Mechanisms exist to conduct assessments to demonstrate security, compliance and/or resilience capability conformity with applicable cybersecurity and data protection laws, regulations and/or contractual obligations.
Possible Solutions & Considerations
Micro-Small Business (<10 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 1-2
∙ Document applicable regulatory requirements in a checklist
Small Business (10-49 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 3-4
∙ Compliance checklist ∙ Annual compliance review
Medium Business (50-249 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 5-6
∙ Compliance management program ∙ Regulatory mapping ∙ Compliance calendar
Large Business (250-999 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 7-8
∙ GRC solution (e.g., SCFConnect, Cyturus, SureCloud, SimpleRisk, Ignyte, ZenGRC, Galvanize, MetricStream, Archer, etc.) ∙ Compliance team
Enterprise (> 1,000 staff) / BLS Firm Size Class 9
∙ GRC solution (e.g., SCFConnect, Cyturus, SureCloud, SimpleRisk, Ignyte, ZenGRC, Galvanize, MetricStream, Archer, etc.) ∙ Dedicated compliance team ∙ Automated compliance monitoring
SCR-CMM
Level 0 Not Performed
Practices are non-existent, based on the inability to demonstrate an implemented and operational capability. A reasonable person would conclude the control is not being performed.
Level 1 Performed Informally
SCR-CMM Level 1 criteria definitions are not available for this control: ▪ A reasonable person would conclude this control requires a structured process. ▪ At this level of maturity, the "ad hoc" nature of performing a capability informally would indicate the intent of the control is not met due to a lack of consistency and formality.
Level 2 Planned Tracked
Compliance (CPL) capabilities are requirements-driven, but are not standardized across the entity (e.g., local/regional level consistency). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist: ▪ Policies and standards associated with CPL domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity. ▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with CPL domain capabilities are documented and maintained by process owners. ▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with CPL domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD). ▪ Compliance management controls-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines). ▪ Compliance management may be a defined function (e.g., team or department) or assigned as an additional duty to existing IT and/or cybersecurity personnel. ▪ External compliance requirements for cybersecurity and data privacy are identified and documented, based on applicable laws, regulations and contractual obligations. ▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to assigned cybersecurity and/or data protection controls to comply with specific compliance requirements.
Level 3 Well Defined
Compliance (CPL) capabilities are standardized across the entity for applicability to People, Processes, Technologies, Data and/or Facilities (PPTDF) to ensure consistency for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist: ▪ Policies and standards associated with CPL domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function. ▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with CPL domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners. ▪ A Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain CPL domain capabilities. ▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of governance, risk management and compliance operations (e.g., GRC platform). ▪ The entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function, works with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with CPL domain capabilities to address Minimum Compliance Requirements (MCR) (e.g., applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements) and Discretionary Security Requirements (DSR) (e.g., entity-required controls). ▪ An implemented and operational capability exists to conduct assessments to demonstrate security, compliance and/or resilience capability conformity with applicable cybersecurity and data protection laws, regulations and/or contractual obligations.
Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled
Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 criteria definitions: ▪ There are no defined Level 4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to operationalize this control. ▪ While it may be possible to develop “metrics-driven” capabilities for this control, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.
Level 5 Continuously Improving
Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 or Level 4 (if available) criteria definitions: ▪ There are no defined Level 5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to operationalize this control. ▪ Level 5 capabilities should be considered “world-class” where the control builds on Level 4 capabilities, but are continuously improving through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning (ML) technologies. ▪ While it may be possible to develop responsive capabilities for this control through the use of AI and/or ML technologies, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.

Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 or Level 4 (if available) criteria definitions: ▪ There are no defined Level 5 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a continuously-improving process is not necessary to operationalize this control. ▪ Level 5 capabilities should be considered “world-class” where the control builds on Level 4 capabilities, but are continuously improving through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and/or Machine Learning (ML) technologies. ▪ While it may be possible to develop responsive capabilities for this control through the use of AI and/or ML technologies, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.

Conformity Assessment
Description
Mechanisms exist to conduct assessments to demonstrate security, compliance and/or resilience capability conformity with applicable cybersecurity and data protection laws, regulations and/or contractual obligations.
Possible Solutions & Considerations
Micro-Small Business (<10 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 1-2
∙ Document applicable regulatory requirements in a checklist
Small Business (10-49 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 3-4
∙ Compliance checklist ∙ Annual compliance review
Medium Business (50-249 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 5-6
∙ Compliance management program ∙ Regulatory mapping ∙ Compliance calendar
Large Business (250-999 staff) / BLS Firm Size Classes 7-8
∙ GRC solution (e.g., SCFConnect, Cyturus, SureCloud, SimpleRisk, Ignyte, ZenGRC, Galvanize, MetricStream, Archer, etc.) ∙ Compliance team
Enterprise (> 1,000 staff) / BLS Firm Size Class 9
∙ GRC solution (e.g., SCFConnect, Cyturus, SureCloud, SimpleRisk, Ignyte, ZenGRC, Galvanize, MetricStream, Archer, etc.) ∙ Dedicated compliance team ∙ Automated compliance monitoring
SCR-CMM
Level 0 Not Performed
Practices are non-existent, based on the inability to demonstrate an implemented and operational capability. A reasonable person would conclude the control is not being performed.
Level 1 Performed Informally
SCR-CMM Level 1 criteria definitions are not available for this control: ▪ A reasonable person would conclude this control requires a structured process. ▪ At this level of maturity, the "ad hoc" nature of performing a capability informally would indicate the intent of the control is not met due to a lack of consistency and formality.
Level 2 Planned Tracked
Compliance (CPL) capabilities are requirements-driven, but are not standardized across the entity (e.g., local/regional level consistency). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist: ▪ Policies and standards associated with CPL domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity. ▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with CPL domain capabilities are documented and maintained by process owners. ▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with CPL domain capabilities to address applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD). ▪ Compliance management controls-related controls are primarily administrative and preventative in nature (e.g., policies, standards and procedures & guidelines). ▪ Compliance management may be a defined function (e.g., team or department) or assigned as an additional duty to existing IT and/or cybersecurity personnel. ▪ External compliance requirements for cybersecurity and data privacy are identified and documented, based on applicable laws, regulations and contractual obligations. ▪ IT and/or cybersecurity personnel work with business stakeholders and process owners to assigned cybersecurity and/or data protection controls to comply with specific compliance requirements.
Level 3 Well Defined
Compliance (CPL) capabilities are standardized across the entity for applicability to People, Processes, Technologies, Data and/or Facilities (PPTDF) to ensure consistency for Technology Assets, Applications, Services and/or Data (TAASD). Capability criteria associated with this control reasonably expect the following criteria to exist: ▪ Policies and standards associated with CPL domain capabilities are formally documented and centrally-managed by the entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function. ▪ Standardized Operating Procedures (SOP) associated with CPL domain capabilities are well-documented and kept current by process owners. ▪ A Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function, is appropriately staffed and supported to implement and maintain CPL domain capabilities. ▪ Technology is leveraged to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of governance, risk management and compliance operations (e.g., GRC platform). ▪ The entity's Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) team, or similar function, works with business stakeholders and process owners to appropriately scope and reasonably implement cybersecurity and data protection controls associated with CPL domain capabilities to address Minimum Compliance Requirements (MCR) (e.g., applicable statutory, regulatory and/or contractual requirements) and Discretionary Security Requirements (DSR) (e.g., entity-required controls). ▪ An implemented and operational capability exists to conduct assessments to demonstrate security, compliance and/or resilience capability conformity with applicable cybersecurity and data protection laws, regulations and/or contractual obligations.
Level 4 Quantitatively Controlled
Utilize SCR-CMM Level 3 criteria definitions: ▪ There are no defined Level 4 criteria, since it is reasonable to assume a quantitatively-controlled process is not necessary to operationalize this control. ▪ While it may be possible to develop “metrics-driven” capabilities for this control, the criteria would be organization-specific to define.
