EU AI Act / Art.11

Art.11: Technical Documentation

Maintain technical docs sufficient for conformity assessment.

Last reviewed June 2026

Problem

The gap Art.11 closes

Technical Documentation sits in the documentation surface, and EU AI Act rates it high. Maintain technical docs sufficient for conformity assessment. For teams shipping LLM and agentic features, a control like this is only as good as the evidence that it was actually tested - an unverified control is a finding waiting for an auditor.

How Penaxtra approaches it

How Penaxtra delivers Art.11

Penaxtra turns this EU AI Act obligation into testable, recurring evidence: scheduled scans and posture checks produce findings tied to Art.11, and the append-only audit log records what was tested and when, which is exactly what an assessor asks for. Every relevant finding is created with the EU AI Act Art.11 identifier already attached, so it lands in the audit-evidence pack mapped to the control rather than as a screenshot someone has to translate later. Where the same weakness touches another framework, the cross-framework overlap means one finding satisfies several control cells at once.
