Description
Real-time compliance metrics dashboard provides visibility into high-risk system performance, human oversight coverage, transparency disclosure status, log retention compliance, data residency verification, and audit readiness. The dashboard aggregates compliance data across all AI systems within the workspace, presenting key indicators, including the percentage of high-risk requests requiring human oversight, transparency disclosure compliance rates, log retention policy adherence, data residency verification status (100% EU storage), and an overall audit readiness score. Compliance alerts can be configured for threshold violations, such as transparency disclosure rates below 95%, human oversight coverage falling below required levels, or data residency anomalies. The dashboard supports filtering by time period, AI system, risk level, and use case category to enable targeted investigation. This feature enables continuous compliance monitoring, early detection of regulatory violations, and proactive risk management. It is primarily used by compliance officers for daily oversight, compliance leads for weekly reviews, and executives for board reporting.Example
A compliance lead opens the monitoring dashboard each Monday morning to review the weekly audit readiness score, which shows 94% due to three high-risk customer service prompts missing required transparency disclosures. She drills down into the transparency disclosure section, identifies the specific requests that triggered the alert, reviews the request context to confirm disclosure was indeed required, and creates a compliance ticket for the operations team to implement proper disclosure notifications. By Friday, the transparency issue is resolved, human oversight coverage remains at 100%, and the audit readiness score returns to 98%, with all metrics trending positive for the quarterly regulatory report.Dashboard Overview

Human Oversight Coverage Percentage
Requirement Background
EU AI Act requires human oversight for high-risk AI systems to ensure:- Human intervention capability
- Override or reverse automated decisions
- Understand system capabilities and limitations
- Monitor system operation
Monitoring Coverage
Coverage Calculation- 100%: Required for Prohibited-adjacent systems
- 95-99%: Acceptable for most high-risk categories
- <95%: Triggers compliance alert
- Timestamp of human review
- Reviewer user ID
- Review outcome (approved, modified, rejected)
- Rationale or notes
Coverage by Category
Track human oversight separately for each high-risk use case:- Biometric systems may require 100% coverage
- Employment decisions typically need 98-100% coverage
- Educational assessments need documented review thresholds
Transparency Disclosure Status
Tracking Requirements
Monitor transparency disclosure compliance for: High-Risk AI Interactions- Systems that require user notification per Article 12
- AI-generated content requiring attribution
- Automated decision-making affecting individuals
- Total requests requiring disclosure: X
- Disclosures completed: X (XX%)
- Pending disclosures: X
- Overdue disclosures: X
Status Indicators
Completed- Disclosure notification sent to end user
- Timestamp and delivery confirmation
- Compliant with transparency requirements
- Disclosure required but not yet sent
- Within grace period (typically 24-48 hours)
- Monitored but not yet alerting
- Disclosure required, but the grace period expired
- Non-compliance detected
- Immediate action required
- System-determined disclosure not needed
- Risk level below transparency threshold
- Documentation of exemption rationale
Log Retention Compliance
Retention Verification
Ensure logs are retained according to regulatory requirements: Retention Status- Current retention period: X days (Free) or Unlimited (Pro)
- Logs subject to retention: X,XXX requests
- Retention policy violations: 0 (target)
- No premature log deletions
- Retention period meets regulatory minimums
- GDPR erasure requests handled correctly
- Percentage of complete audit trails: 100% (target)
