Compliance Testing

<default_to_action> When validating regulatory compliance:

1. IDENTIFY applicable regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
2. MAP requirements to testable controls
3. TEST data rights (access, erasure, portability)
4. VERIFY encryption and access logging
5. GENERATE audit-ready reports with evidence

Quick Compliance Checklist:

• Data subject rights work (access, delete, export)
• PII is encrypted at rest and in transit
• Access to sensitive data is logged
• Consent is tracked with timestamps
• Payment card data not stored (only tokenized)

Critical Success Factors:

• Non-compliance = €20M or 4% revenue (GDPR)
• Audit trail everything
• Test continuously, not just before audits </default_to_action>
