EU AI Act enforcement — August 2026

Prove your AI hiring
is fair, lawful,
and explainable.

When the ICO investigates or a candidate challenges a rejection, TraceAI gives you the certified evidence package — a tamper-evident, cryptographically chained audit trail. Not just logs.

Why TraceAI

Your AI makes hiring decisions.
Can you explain them?

Every AI-assisted decision about a person creates legal exposure. TraceAI turns that exposure into documented compliance.

Evidence that holds up in tribunal

Every decision is HMAC-SHA256 hash-chained and timestamped. Tamper with one record, the entire chain breaks. Regulators get cryptographic proof, not screenshots.

Live before your next hire

Five lines of Python or Node.js. No procurement cycle, no IT project, no six-month rollout. Install the SDK, point it at your ATS, and start logging decisions today.

Walk into an ICO audit prepared

One-click PDF compliance reports — 8 sections, aligned to UK GDPR Article 22, the ICO Statutory Code, and EU AI Act high-risk requirements. Generated from your real data, not templates.

Catch bias before a candidate does

Real-time four-fifths rule analysis across gender, age, and ethnicity. Flags disparate outcomes per role, detects ethnic clustering, and highlights confidence gaps — automatically.

Your compliance team sees everything. Nobody else does.

Role-based access control with admin, compliance officer, and viewer roles. 2FA/TOTP authentication. Shareable audit links with 30-day expiry for external review.

Prove consistency across 10,000 decisions

Side-by-side decision comparison with diff highlighting. Analytics that show pass rates by role, flag distribution by characteristic, and compliance trends over time.

How it works

One integration.
Every decision defended.
