Beyond Compliance: Building Trust Through AI Governance and Control

When Tromsø’s 2025 chat logs revealed unverified, AI-generated government reports, it exposed a governance crisis. As the EU AI Act enforces new oversight duties, organizations must urgently implement both visibility and control. Velatir and Saidot unite these capabilities—governance to detect, and control to enforce, ensuring AI is used responsibly and compliantly.

The Tromsø AI Scandal: Why AI Governance Can't Wait

A scandal in Tromsø revealed just how dangerous unchecked AI adoption can be. Municipal officials inserted ChatGPT-generated text into a critical report—without review or fact-checking. When journalists demanded transparency, Norway ruled that AI chat logs count as official documents. The case exposed missing audit trails, no quality control, and blind trust in AI outputs. The lesson is clear: AI isn’t the problem—governance is. Without it, scandals are inevitable.

AI Risk for SMBs: A real-life paradox

AI adoption is no longer optional for SMBs, but it comes with a brutal paradox. Ignore AI and you fall behind competitors transforming operations and customer service. Adopt AI hastily and you risk data leaks, compliance violations, and operational failures. Unlike enterprises, SMBs rarely have buffers; one AI misstep can break customer trust. Real-world examples show how chatbots, automation, and platform breaches cause chaos. But paralysis is just as dangerous; fear-driven inaction carries steep opportunity costs. The way out is not avoiding risk but governing it with smart, lightweight oversight. Strategic AI governance turns compliance into a competitive advantage, not a burden. By starting small, tracking usage, and layering safeguards, SMBs can scale safely. The paradox dissolves when governance fuels growth, making AI both safe and powerful.

Calculating the ROI of AI Control: Making the Intangible Tangible

AI governance faces a paradox: the better it works, the less visible it becomes. A breach that never happens leaves no headline, but it protects what matters most, continuity, trust, and growth. For SMBs, that value is hard to see but easy to measure: preventing one incident or enabling safe AI adoption can justify years of investment. At €98 a month, Velatir costs less than office coffee yet safeguards against risks that could end the business while unlocking opportunities that could transform it.

Plus, SLA tracking and a new Learning Mode will make Velatir faster, smarter, and more adaptive to your needs. Explore what’s ahead and help shape what we build next.

Now Available as part of the n8n Ecosystem

Velatir is now available as a community node on n8n, making it easier for developers to integrate compliant AI and workflow automation into their n8n setups. This release follows our new Node.js SDK and moves us closer to native support within n8n.

Velatir Q3 Roadmap Is Live

We’re opening up our product development plans for Q3, including new risk management tools, expanded integrations, and powerful rule testing features. Explore what’s coming and help shape what we build next.

How Velatir enables ISO42001, NIST and EU AI Act compliance

Compliance isn’t a bonus, it’s a must. Velatir helps you meet AI regulations like ISO 42001, NIST, and the EU AI Act with zero friction. We handle the essentials: audit-ready logging, human-in-the-loop review, and clear roles and rules.

Join Velatir at AIDAY in Aarhus

At AI DAY in Aarhus, Velatir will explore why Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) design should be the default - not the fallback, when deploying AI systems. From compliance in high-risk use cases to improving feedback loops and training data, we’ll show how thoughtful human oversight isn’t a bottleneck but a catalyst for building smarter, safer agents. Join us as we unpack real-world examples of HITL in action - and why it's the cornerstone of responsible AI.

Building in Public - and Now, with Microsoft by Our Side

As we focus on building and refining our AI workflow and compliance platform, this partnership gives us access to Azure infrastructure, Stripe integration, and technical support from Microsoft’s top engineers. It’s a major boost as we continue testing, shipping, and delivering value to teams managing high-risk AI workflows.
