How Velatir enables ISO42001, NIST and EU AI Act compliance

If you’re building automated workflows or integrating AI agents into your products, you already know that compliance isn’t just a “nice to have” - it’s essential. When AI systems aren’t compliant with regulations, companies can face real-world consequences such as fines or loss of market access. On the other hand, offering compliance-ready services like Velatir’s can become a competitive advantage, showing customers and partners that you take responsible AI seriously.

Below, we’ll walk you through how to make compliance part of your critical AI workflow. We’ll explain the three core pieces of what Velatir offers, based on ISO42001, NIST and the EU AI Act:

Logging and Reporting: Why it’s important to keep detailed records of every decision and user interaction, and how our platform makes that easy.

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL): How we connect your application to a human reviewer, so that any questionable AI output can be checked before it’s published.

Comprehensive Roles and Rules Management: Ensuring transparency around “who owns what” and proper approval flows as an integrated part of the AI solution.

If you’re new to AI compliance or planning to dive in soon, this post will help you understand exactly what tasks you can cross off your list when you plug in Velatir.

Why ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act Matter

Rather than treating compliance as an afterthought, Velatir built our platform “compliance-first.” That means we designed every feature around the rules and best practices outlined by two leading AI governance frameworks and the EU AI Act:

  • ISO 42001 (“AI Management System”): An international standard that lays out how organizations should manage AI projects, including defining roles and responsibilities, tracking data and models, and ensuring continuous improvement.
  • NIST AI Risk Management Framework (AI RMF 1.0): A U.S.-based guide from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. It helps you identify, assess, and manage risks throughout an AI system’s lifecycle (from design to deployment and monitoring).
  • EU AI Act: The AI Act creates a risk-based system that bans applications threatening fundamental rights and enforces stricter rules on high-risk AI. High-risk systems must meet stringent data governance, transparency, human oversight, and robustness requirements, and pass mandatory conformity assessments.

By building our features around these frameworks, we make it much simpler for you to say, “Yes - we already meet those requirements.”

Logging and Reporting

From day one, Velatir has been designed so that all events are captured, logged, and available for review. That means:

  • Logging Everything Automatically:
    • Every time your application calls an AI model (an API request)
    • Every time a human reviewer makes a decision to approve, reject, or modify that AI output
    • If configured, every time the model makes a prediction or takes an action (“model inference”)

Because we log all of these steps automatically, you get full traceability: if anyone ever asks “How did we get this result?” or “Who approved this action?”, you can answer immediately. This approach directly aligns with key ISO requirements (for example, ISO 42001’s section on “tracking and recordkeeping”) and with NIST’s “Operate” and “Measure” categories, which include guidelines for monitoring AI performance and documenting decisions. It also satisfies Article 14 of the EU AI Act, which specifies rules for recordkeeping in high-risk AI applications.

  • Real-Time Dashboards and Alerts:Our platform includes live dashboards that show you how your AI models are behaving “in the wild.” You will be able to monitor human decision, key metrics related hereto and gauge the health status of your AI integration as a measure of how often the human review returns approved. This kind of “feedback loop” ensures you stay ahead of unexpected behavior, which is exactly what NIST’s AI Risk Management Framework refers to when it talks about “continual monitoring”.

Human-in-the-Loop (HITL)

Even the best AI models make mistakes. For anything where an incorrect decision could cause harm, whether that’s a biased loan approval, a medical recommendation, or flagged content in a moderation pipeline, you need a human reviewer to step in. Same applies for AI systems categorised as “High Risk” in the EU AI Act.

Here’s how our HITL workflow works:

Automated Screening: An AI model processes the input (for example, a user’s loan application or a piece of user-generated content) and makes an initial decision or classification.

Human Checkpoint: Based on your Velatir rules and event configuration it’s automatically sent to a trained human reviewer.

Final Decision: The human reviewer sees the full context and can either confirm the AI’s output or override it.

Because Velatir’s platform logs every step, you can later prove exactly why a given decision was made. That full audit trail helps you comply with both ISO and NIST requirements around “human oversight”.

Comprehensive Roles and Rules Management

Good governance demands clarity around “who owns what.” To help you put that in place, Velatir includes:

  • Role Assignments and Permissions: Define exactly which people or channels are allowed to do things like approve a flagged AI action.
  • Rule Engine: Set up business rules that determine under which conditions an AI decision goes to a human, or when an alert should fire.

By codifying these roles and rules, you satisfy several important pieces of ISO and NIST and you can show regulators or auditors that you know exactly which team members are responsible for monitoring model performance, approving changes, or handling appeals.

Putting It All Together

By combining:

Automatic, end-to-end logging,

Human-in-the-loop review, and

Clear roles and rule definitions,

Velatir gives you a single platform that covers key parts of AI compliance. You don’t have to stitch together half a dozen different tools or write your own logging scripts. Instead, you can focus on building your core product—knowing that you have:

  • Complete audit trails for every AI decision
  • Built-in checkpoints so that potentially risky outputs get a human review
  • A straightforward way to define “who does what” when it comes to approvals, alerts, and escalations

Whether you’re just starting your AI compliance journey or you already have some processes in place, integrating with Velatir means you can check off all the essential tasks required by ISO 42001 (such as “track every model version” and “assign responsibility for data governance”) and the NIST AI RMF (such as “continuously monitor model performance” and “establish human oversight”).

That puts you in a strong position not only to meet today’s compliance standards but also to adapt quickly as new regulations emerge. Instead of scrambling to add audit logs or retrofit human checkpoints, you’ll already have them built into your workflow—giving you peace of mind and a real business advantage.
