Governance Compliance Tracker

Per-sector compliance index benchmarked against EU AI Act, ISO 42001, and SAMA frameworks. Updated quarterly against enforcement filings.

Framework Adoption Rates

Sector × Framework Compliance Matrix

Sector	EU AI Act	ISO 42001	SAMA	Overall

Scale: ● Compliant · ◐ In Progress · ○ Non-Compliant · — Not Applicable

Key Finding: Organizations that retrofit compliance face 3.4× the cost of building governance-first

Only 50% of global enterprises are compliant or working toward compliance. The remaining 50% face enforcement risk from the EU AI Act (effective Aug 2024), with fines up to 3% of global annual turnover for non-high-risk violations and 6% for prohibited practices. SAMA compliance is now a prerequisite for all financial institutions operating in GCC markets.
