Does your AI assistant tell people it’s AI?
Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires AI systems that interact with people to make clear they are AI. Most chat assistants still open with “Hi, how can we help?” and say nothing at all.
We assess your user-facing AI systems, tell you exactly what needs to change, verify the change once it’s live, and give you a dated evidence pack you can hand to procurement, an insurer, or a customer’s security review.

The practice
Inspect the assessment tooling
Astax Labs builds software and security tools. We publish the tooling we assess with: our open-source red-team scanner for large language models runs 29 probes across six OWASP LLM Top 10 categories and grades findings A to F. It is published under an MIT licence at github.com/Astaxxxx/llmscan, where you can read every probe before you engage us.
Our Article 50 methodology comes from primary research rather than vendor documentation. The public scanner repository includes the probe definitions and a sample report, so you can inspect the tooling directly.
Every engagement is delivered with a dated evidence pack: findings, scope reasoning, and before-and-after verification, written to be handed to procurement, an insurer or a customer's security review without further explanation.
