Frequently asked questions

Straight answers on AI compliance, the EU AI Act, NIS2, GDPR and how Heldr works. Written for owners and teams, not lawyers.

About Heldr

Heldr shows Dutch and European businesses which AI tools are used in the company, which rules apply today, what moved to 2027 and 2028, and what to fix first. In plain language.

See the platform

SMEs and mid-sized companies, and the people who answer for compliance there: IT and security leads, CEOs and owners, board members, and DPO or legal.

Find your role

No. Heldr is not a certification body. We give you a verified, up to date picture of where you stand and the evidence to back it up.

The EU AI Act, ISO 27001, ISO/IEC 42001, NIS2 (the Dutch Cyberbeveiligingswet) and GDPR. CSRD, SOC 2 and DORA are outside our scope.

The Heldr Pilot

In 10 days you get a named inventory of every AI tool in your company, a verdict per framework and a ranked action list. At a fixed price agreed upfront.

Read about the pilot

No. We read app connections, sign-in data and usage metadata. Never content. Access is read-only.

No. Results are reported per team or department, not per person.

Heldr is hosted in the EU.

You choose. Turn it into continuous monitoring, or stop and keep the inventory, the report and the action list. No lock-in.

Within one business day.

EU AI Act and AI use

If your company uses AI tools, parts of the AI Act already apply to you, such as AI literacy for staff. Other obligations moved to 2027 and 2028. Which ones depend on how you use AI.

What changed in the deadlines

AI tools employees use without the company knowing or approving them. Think of chatbots, browser plugins and AI features inside existing software. You cannot govern what you cannot see.

About Shadow AI

No recognised EU AI quality mark exists today. Be careful with providers that suggest otherwise.

Read the myth check

The AI Act sets fines in article 99. The bigger costs are often lost tenders and customer trust.

NIS2, GDPR and cyber resilience

That depends on your sector and size, and on whether you supply companies that fall under it. The free scan gives you a first answer.

Take the free scan

When AI tools process personal data, GDPR applies. You need to know which data goes where and which access AI tools have to your systems.

Yes. Through RVO, SMEs can get 50% of eligible costs, up to €1,250, for concrete cyber resilience measures. Applications close 30 November 2026.
