Crosswalk pair
AI Governance Essentials and EU AI Act, control by control
1 canonical control in Keel’s library satisfies clauses of both AI Governance Essentials and EU AI Act. Implement each once, attach the evidence once, and it counts toward each standard. The overlap is the work you don’t repeat.
The overlap
What the two libraries have in common
Every figure here counts canonical controls in Keel’s library, not clauses of either standard. Each standard’s own authored count is on its framework page.
1
Controls that satisfy both
Canonical controls that crosswalk to at least one clause of each.
3
In Keel’s library for AI Governance Essentials
33% of them also map to EU AI Act.
8
In Keel’s library for EU AI Act
13% of them also map to AI Governance Essentials.
2
Evidence artifacts expected
Across the shared controls, from Keel’s evidence guidance. Gathered once.
-
1 control of 3 in Keel’s library for AI Governance Essentials also maps to EU AI Act.
-
EU AI Act 13%
1 control of 8 in Keel’s library for EU AI Act also maps to AI Governance Essentials.
The mapping
Controls that satisfy both
Each row is one control in Keel’s library and the clauses it answers on each side. Do the work once; both columns are then evidenced by the same artifacts.
| Canonical control | AI Governance Essentials clauses | EU AI Act clauses |
|---|---|---|
| Human oversight of AI Appropriate human oversight of AI systems, so people can understand, monitor, and intervene in how an AI system operates - the named people who hold that oversight have the competence, the authority and the access to the system to exercise it, and the system is operated in the way the instructions supplied with it specify, inside the purpose it was assessed and approved for rather than whatever use it turns out to support. | HO.1, HO.2 | HREQ-6, HOBL-5 |
Beyond the pair
Where else this work counts
A framework is lit when a shared control above also maps to it. Unlit means none of them do — an absence, not a judgment about that standard.

The thesis
Why this is one project, not two
On a crosswalk-native model, EU AI Act mostly lights up controls you already built for AI Governance Essentials. You’re not re-uploading the same screenshot for a second audit. You apply the framework and see the genuine delta worth working. That’s the whole idea behind collect once, comply everywhere.
Next step
Add EU AI Act to the work you already did
Apply both frameworks in one workspace and see the overlap measured against the controls you already hold.
