Under the AI Act, trust is the product. Security teams should own it.
Compliance with the AI Act is being treated as a legal problem. It is a security problem with a legal wrapper.

When customers ask whether your model is safe to use, they are asking a security question. The AI Act formalises that question and attaches deadlines to it.
Risk classification, technical documentation, post-market monitoring — every clause maps to a control your security team probably already operates. The work is making that mapping explicit before an auditor does it for you.
