Key takeaways
- Every check is free, runs in your browser, takes a few minutes, and requires no account.
- Start with the AI governance assessment or EU AI Act Article 50 check if your product has a user-facing AI feature or generates AI content.
- Take the HIPAA assessment if your team handles protected health information, or the SOC 2 assessment if customers are asking for a trust report.
- Each returns a readiness score or classification, a prioritized gap list, and practical next steps.
Which check should you take?
Start with AI governance if you ship a user-facing AI feature or generate AI content: the AI governance assessment scores your readiness across the EU AI Act, US state AI laws, ISO/IEC 42001, and NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act Article 50 check gives a deterministic risk-tier classification with article citations. Article 50 transparency duties and the penalty regime took effect on 2 August 2026, and enterprise buyers now attach AI governance questions to security questionnaires.
Take the HIPAA assessment if your organization creates, receives, stores, or transmits protected health information, or the SOC 2 assessment if the pressure is a prospect asking for a report or an enterprise buyer requiring Type II. Many teams need more than one — controls are mapped across frameworks, so evidence collected once reduces the work for the rest.
AI governance assessment
Who it is for
Any team shipping a user-facing AI feature or generating AI content — B2B SaaS selling into the EU or to enterprise, and any product now being asked AI governance questions in security questionnaires.
What you get
- A readiness score across the EU AI Act, US state AI laws, ISO/IEC 42001, and NIST AI RMF
- Your gaps, ranked by exposure impact
- A view of regulatory and deal-risk exposure based on the gaps you report
- A recommended path: inventory AI systems, classify them, adopt policies, and track obligations
EU AI Act Article 50 check
Who it is for
Providers and deployers of AI systems placed on the EU market or whose output is used in the EU — chatbots, assistants, copilots, and generated content.
What you get
- A deterministic risk-tier classification — prohibited, high-risk, transparency, or minimal
- Role-scoped Article 50 obligations, each with a deadline and article citation
- A clear read on what applies now versus what the Digital Omnibus deferred
- Nothing leaves your browser unless you request the emailed report
HIPAA and SOC 2 readiness assessments
HIPAA compliance assessment
- For covered entities and business associates handling PHI
- A readiness score across HIPAA Security Rule safeguards, with ranked gaps and estimated penalty exposure
- A view of what the 2026 Security Rule updates change for you
SOC 2 readiness assessment
- For SaaS, AI, cloud, fintech, and healthcare technology teams preparing for Type I or Type II
- A readiness score against common audit expectations, mapped to the Trust Services Criteria
- An estimate of audit delay and rework exposure, with evidence priorities to close first
What happens after the assessment
A score is a starting point, not the program. The work is turning gaps into owned, dated tasks and keeping evidence attached to each control so the next review does not start from zero.
That is what Shieldra does after the assessment: register and classify AI systems, track EU AI Act obligations, import policies for AI review, assign remediation with owners and due dates, and export audit-ready evidence across AI governance, SOC 2, and HIPAA. Paid plans start at $99/month with a 14-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
Which free check should I start with?
If your product has a user-facing AI feature or generates AI content, start with the AI governance assessment or the EU AI Act Article 50 check. If you handle protected health information, take the HIPAA assessment; if customers are asking for a trust report, take the SOC 2 assessment.
How long do the assessments take?
A few minutes each. You get your readiness score or classification, gap summary, and next steps immediately — no account and no credit card required.
Do I need more than one framework?
Often, yes. Teams shipping AI face the EU AI Act and US state AI laws today, and many also need SOC 2 or HIPAA. Controls are mapped across frameworks, so the same evidence supports more than one.
Are the assessments really free?
Yes. They all run free in your browser with no account required. They are self-assessments intended to prioritize work, not a substitute for a formal risk analysis, a deterministic classification, or an auditor opinion.
