q.beyond AG has launched a new offering called "AI Act as a Service" to help companies evaluate their AI systems and obtain an auditable risk assessment in line with the EU AI Act. The service, announced on June 9, 2026, is designed for managers responsible for AI, including CIOs, compliance managers, and CISOs, to place AI applications on a safe regulatory footing, accelerate deployment, and boost productivity gains.
The EU AI Act, the world's first legal framework for artificial intelligence, is already in force and gradually becoming binding. Key deadlines include August 2026 for most general requirements and December 2027 for high-risk AI systems. The regulation aims to minimize risks to security, health, and basic rights while fostering innovation. Requirements depend on the potential risk of AI applications, not company size, which can vary widely by sector and use case.
q.beyond's service addresses the challenge many companies face: assessing regulatory risks for the dozens of large language models (LLMs) and agents they typically deploy. The service can be booked directly on q.beyond's website without prior integration, offering a monthly subscription for one or multiple accounts, as well as a free trial version for basic assessment.
"Companies can start directly with AI Act as a Service and promptly obtain an auditable risk assessment," said Dr. Daniel Taradzic, Chief AI Officer at q.beyond AG. "This way, we are enabling companies to maximize their productivity gains from AI and automation while simultaneously minimizing their regulatory risks."
The service has already attracted customers during its trial phase. Ingo List, Managing Director of Antares Project GmbH, noted, "We were confronted with the same challenge that many companies face at the moment: We had several thousand active AI users but no assessment of the EU AI Act requirements. Thanks to AI Act as a Service, we no longer have this problem."
In addition to the new service, q.beyond advises companies on secure AI deployment and data protection. Its "Private Enterprise AI" platform offers a secure environment for processing sensitive information. The company also develops AI agents for sectors including retail, manufacturing, logistics, banking, insurance, healthcare, energy, and the public sector, operated as managed services.
Further information about AI Act as a Service, including booking options and the free trial version, is available at https://www.qbeyond.de/ki-services/ai-act-as-a-service.
