Govern AI for BaFin resilience and the AI Act

BaFin expects financial entities to govern AI as an ICT asset inside their DORA-compliant setup: inventoried, resilient, and monitored across its full lifecycle. Yields gives banks and insurers one platform to do exactly that, and to carry the EU AI Act and your other frameworks on the same record.

The context

What BaFin's AI guidance expects

BaFin's guidance on ICT risks in the use of AI helps financial entities apply the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) when they use AI, aimed in particular at CRR institutions and Solvency II insurers. It is non-binding, but not optional: in supervisory practice it becomes a de-facto benchmark, and if you deviate from it, the burden shifts to you to show your controls offer equivalent protection.

The core message is that AI is not a special case outside your existing frameworks. It is an ICT asset that must be governed, secured, and monitored inside your DORA setup, across its full lifecycle. The lens is operational resilience: what happens to the firm, and to the financial system, if this AI system fails, drifts, or is manipulated. That is where Yields comes in.

The Yields approach

How Yields gets you BaFin ready

BaFin expects a complete view of your AI, managed across its lifecycle, with evidence a supervisor can interrogate rather than intent on paper. Yields gives your management body that defensible view on a single platform.

A complete AI inventory, including shadow and embedded AI

BaFin explicitly expects shadow AI and AI buried inside purchased software, such as HR tools and ticketing systems, to be in scope. Yields centralises every AI system in a single inventory built through structured discovery, so your management body has a complete picture to set and approve a strategy against.

Lifecycle risk management with a traceable evidence trail

The guidance examines ICT risk across the full AI lifecycle, from data sourcing to retirement, and expects controls tied to the specific risk. Yields manages risk assessment stage by stage and keeps the documentation and evidence behind those controls in a traceable record, so what you show a supervisor reflects the system as it is now, not a policy describing intent.

Monitoring that connects to a governance workflow

Major ICT incidents are reportable under DORA, and that can include incidents in AI systems. Yields surfaces drift and anomalies early and routes them into a formal governance workflow, so an issue triggers the right follow-up and record rather than slipping through.

See it in action

Govern AI for BaFin, and everything alongside it

Yields gives you a complete AI inventory, lifecycle ICT risk management, and a traceable evidence trail that answers BaFin's resilience questions, while the same record carries the EU AI Act and your other frameworks at the same time. One source of truth, ready whichever regulator asks.
