Estimate AI compliance and governance costs by use case risk level and organizational scope.
Last updated: February 23, 2026
Describe your organization and AI deployment to estimate compliance costs.
Governance Staff = FTE needed x $120K avg salary x Industry multiplier
Training = Base training cost x Org size multiplier x Risk multiplier
Tooling = (Systems x $500 + $2,000 base) x Size x Risk multipliers
Audits = Frequency x $25,000 base x Risk x Industry multipliers
As AI regulation accelerates globally (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, state-level AI laws), organizations deploying AI systems face growing compliance obligations. The cost of non-compliance, including fines, lawsuits, and reputational damage, far exceeds the investment in proper governance. Understanding these costs upfront helps budget appropriately.
Not all AI systems carry equal risk. An internal productivity chatbot needs far less governance than an AI system making lending decisions or medical diagnoses. The EU AI Act explicitly uses a risk-based framework: minimal risk (no requirements), limited risk (transparency obligations), high risk (extensive requirements), and unacceptable risk (banned).
Under the EU AI Act, fines can reach 7% of global annual turnover or 35 million euros. Beyond fines, bias in AI systems has led to multi-million dollar lawsuits and devastating press coverage. Proactive compliance is an investment in risk reduction.
