AI Compliance for Digital Agencies
Meet your clients' AI compliance requirements and protect your agency from EU AI Act liability.
Digital agencies use AI tools daily — content generation, ad targeting, image creation, customer analytics. Every AI tool your team uses may create compliance obligations under the EU AI Act, GDPR, and US state AI laws. And increasingly, enterprise clients require their agencies to demonstrate AI compliance before awarding contracts. Aegis Firma helps agencies get compliant in 30 minutes and stay compliant as regulations evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the EU AI Act apply to my agency if I'm not based in the EU?
Yes. The EU AI Act applies to any agency that places AI systems on the EU market or uses AI systems that affect EU residents — regardless of where the agency is based. If you serve EU clients or use AI tools that process EU residents' data, the EU AI Act applies to your agency.
Our clients ask for AI compliance documentation at contract stage. What should we provide?
Provide: (1) Your AI Acceptable Use Policy — what AI tools your team uses and under what conditions. (2) Your AI tool inventory — every AI tool in your stack with its risk classification. (3) Your EU AI Act compliance statement if you process EU data. Aegis Firma generates all three automatically.
How many AI tools does the average agency use?
Based on browser extension data, the average agency team uses 15–30 AI tools — far more than management realises. Most are free-tier or subscription tools used by individual team members without formal approval. Aegis Firma's browser extension discovers all of them.
