Is Your AI Strategy Still Compliant? - The EU AI Act "Delay" Myth, what's Already Due (and What Isn't)
If you're responsible for AI governance, compliance, or M365/Copilot deployment in a European organization, this session will clarify exactly where you stand — and what to do next.
When the EU AI Act omnibus made headlines this summer, most organizations heard "delayed" and stopped paying attention. That was a mistake. Only three specific parts of the Act were postponed — everything else, including Article 50 transparency obligations for chatbots, synthetic content, and deepfakes, took effect right on schedule on August 2, 2026.
Join Rencore CEO Matt Einig and Product Manager Tobias as they break down what actually changed, what didn't, and what's coming next:
- What's due December 2, 2026: new marking requirements for existing generative AI systems, plus two new prohibitions on non-consensual intimate imagery and child sexual abuse material take effect.
- What's due December 2, 2027: the high-risk AI regime kicks in for standalone systems — a deadline that feels distant but requires groundwork that can't be done overnight.
- Who's watching: how to determine whether your AI systems fall under national or EU-level regulatory supervision, and why that distinction changes how you prepare.
- Your compliance foundation: why an accurate, owner-attributed inventory of every AI system across your Microsoft 365 and Copilot estate is the prerequisite for meeting every obligation ahead — not a nice-to-have.
- Why timing matters: organizations that start that inventory work now will be in a fundamentally different position than those scrambling to build it under pressure in late 2027.
If you're responsible for AI governance, compliance, or M365/Copilot deployment in a European organization, this session will clarify exactly where you stand — and what to do next.
Our Speakers
Matthias Einig
Matthias started Rencore because he kept seeing the same problem: Everyone is adopting Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and now Copilot & AI - without a plan to govern it.
The result? Sprawl, oversharing, shadow agents, rising risk, and costs.
With Rencore, Matthias helps organizations stay in control. Rencore brings visibility, automation, and lifecycle governance to Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, Power Apps, Copilot, Azure AI, and more.
Tobias Tiehmann
Tobias is a Product Manager at Rencore, where he works on solutions for Microsoft 365 governance and security. He joined Rencore in early 2026 after more than a decade in IT and information security roles, most recently as an IT Security Manager and Information Security Officer responsible for BaFin, DORA, and ISO 27001 compliance.
Before that, Tobias advised on Microsoft 365 security, identity, and Conditional Access as an IT consultant, and worked as a freelance IT consultant on cloud infrastructure and DevOps. Along the way, he has managed IAM programs, led cloud migrations, and built information security management systems from the ground up.
