Regulated & Knowledge-Intensive Industries

Financial Services

Banking · Insurance · Asset Management · Payments

Financial institutions operate under some of the most demanding AI governance expectations in the world. ECB supervisory expectations, EBA guidelines on internal governance, DORA operational resilience requirements, and the EU AI Act converge on a single obligation: AI systems must be governed, validated, and controlled. Verydion works with banks, insurers, and asset managers to build governance programs that satisfy regulators, protect customers, and enable AI at scale.

Key Obligations

• EU AI Act (high-risk classification)
• DORA — ICT & AI resilience
• EBA guidelines on internal governance
• ECB supervisory expectations on models
• BCBS 239 — data governance

Public Sector

Government · Defence · Public Utilities · Agencies

Public sector AI carries a distinct accountability burden: decisions affect citizens, and the organizations making them are publicly accountable. The EU AI Act classifies many public sector AI applications as high-risk by default. Verydion helps government bodies, agencies, and public utilities establish governance frameworks that meet regulatory obligations, withstand public scrutiny, and build the institutional trust that AI in the public interest requires.

Key Obligations

• EU AI Act (high-risk — public administration)
• NIS2 — critical infrastructure security
• GDPR — public authority processing
• National AI strategies & guidelines
• Public procurement AI requirements

Professional Services

Legal · Audit · Consulting · Advisory

Professional services firms are both deployers and advisors on AI — a dual position that demands rigorous governance. Legal firms using AI in document review, audit firms deploying AI in assurance processes, and consulting organizations embedding AI in client deliverables all face governance obligations that are still being defined. Verydion helps professional services organizations stay ahead of the regulatory curve and build governance programs that protect their professional reputation.

Key Obligations

• EU AI Act (deployer obligations)
• Professional regulatory body guidance
• GDPR — client data processing
• Audit quality standards (ISQM)
• Bar association & legal ethics guidance

Critical Infrastructure

Energy · Transport · Telecommunications · Water

AI in critical infrastructure operates at the intersection of operational technology, cybersecurity, and public safety. Failures are not just costly — they can be catastrophic. Verydion supports critical infrastructure operators in governing AI systems that manage physical processes, optimize networks, and support operational decision-making — with a particular focus on resilience, security, and the NIS2 and EU AI Act obligations that apply to this sector.

Key Obligations

• EU AI Act (high-risk — critical infrastructure)
• NIS2 — cybersecurity obligations
