What is the EU AI Act and how does Sentinel help?

The EU AI Act is a landmark regulation classifying AI systems by risk. Sentinel automates compliance checks against Articles 12, 13, and 14, providing cryptographic audit trails for high-risk AI deployments.

How fast is the WASM compliance engine?

The Rust-compiled WebAssembly engine executes deterministic compliance checks in under 0.21ms of computational latency, with global edge distribution via Cloudflare.

Is audit data stored securely?

Yes. All audit entries are written to Cloudflare D1 (SQLite at the edge) with immutable cryptographic timestamps. No data egresses to third parties.

WIKI / COMPLIANCE GUIDES

Sentinel for US Companies

A definitive guide for United States-based AI organizations exporting models, APIs, and SaaS applications to the European Union under the AI Act.

The Compliance Mandate

If you develop an AI system in the US and make it available in the EU market (even via an API or a SaaS platform), the EU AI Act applies to you. For High-Risk AI Systems (e.g., employment, credit tracking, healthcare, critical infrastructure), Articles 12, 13, and 14 mandate strict logging, transparency, and human oversight.

Failure to comply can result in administrative fines of up to €35 million or 7% of global annual turnover, whichever is higher, alongside a potential ban from operating in the EU.

⚡ The Sentinel Advantage

Instead of spending months and millions of dollars restructuring your US infrastructure to appease EU regulators, Sentinel acts as a zero-egress, deterministic audit layer at the edge.

✓
Zero Data Egress: Sentinel processes audit metadata via WASM, ensuring your proprietary AI outputs and training parameters never leave your controlled environment.
✓
Cryptographic Proofs: Every audit log is hashed and time-stamped locally, providing irrefutable mathematical proof of compliance directly to EU regulators without exposing raw data.
✓
Drop-in Integration: Add Sentinel to your existing Node.js, Python, or Rust stack in less than 5 minutes. No architecture overhaul or dedicated compliance engineering team required.

How it Works for US Exporters

Sentinel sits invisibly between your US-hosted AI models and your EU customers. By routing requests through our lightweight Cloudflare Edge implementation or integrating our SDK natively, you automatically generate compliant audit trails for every interaction before it legally crosses borders.

01 / INTEGRATE

Install the SDK

Add the Sentinel SDK to your API gateway or application backend. It runs asynchronously via WebAssembly, adding near-zero computational latency (<0.21ms) to your model's response time.

02 / AUTOMATE

Deterministic Logging

Sentinel autonomously logs the mandated regulatory metadata (inputs, latency, deterministic risk vectors) into an immutable SQLite-backed edge store (Cloudflare D1), ready for compliance reporting.

Next Steps for US Teams

Don't let regulatory friction slow your European expansion. Secure your infrastructure today with Sentinel's enterprise-grade compliance engine and continue scaling globally with confidence.
