Art.11: Technical Documentation

Maintain technical docs sufficient for conformity assessment.

Last reviewed July 2026

The gap Art.11 closes

In EU AI Act, Technical Documentation addresses documentation. Maintain technical docs sufficient for conformity assessment. Penaxtra records this control at high severity and establishes its state by exercising it against the running system, so the result reflects observed behavior rather than a documented assertion.

How Penaxtra delivers Art.11

Penaxtra turns this EU AI Act obligation into recurring, testable evidence: scheduled scans and posture checks produce findings tied to Art.11, and the append-only audit log records what was tested and when. The EU AI Act Art.11 identifier is attached when the finding is created, so it appears in the exported evidence pack already mapped to the control. Where the same weakness maps to another framework, the finding carries those control identifiers as well.
