Scanara
Scanara is a developer-first EU AI Act compliance platform that maps Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 directly to your codebase. It performs static analysis of source code across more than 10 programming languages, reviews technical documentation in 8 EU languages, and runs structured assessments for high-risk, prohibited-practice, and general-purpose AI obligations. The platform automatically classifies AI systems into the EU's risk tiers (unacceptable, high, limited, minimal), including GPAI and systemic-risk models, and generates a first-draft compliance dossier with Annex IV technical documentation, a post-market monitoring plan, and Declaration of Conformity. Every finding references the specific article, paragraph, and point of the AI Act. Scanara is built to address the August 2, 2026 enforcement deadline for high-risk obligations and the already-applicable GPAI requirements. It gives compliance teams, developers, and legal counsel a shared view of gaps across the organization. The platform reduces the 40–80 hours per system needed for Annex IV documentation to minutes by auto-populating fields from scan and assessment data. Manual conformity cycles that cost between €50,000 and €200,000 per AI system are cut by an order of magnitude. The output is reviewable in PDF, DOCX, HTML, or Markdown, enabling collaboration with qualified legal counsel before final submission.

Problem solved
Scanara solves the challenge of understanding and demonstrating EU AI Act compliance. It eliminates blind spots by automatically discovering AI-related components in source repositories, classifying risk level, and generating the full set of technical documentation required under Annex IV.
