Algorithmic Compliance Engine ACE

Real-time automated auditing covering programmatic GDPR data erasure, NIST AI RMF runtime evaluation, and automated cryptographic proof-of-compliance logging.

1. Automated Auditing Framework

Continuous Compliance Loop:
   ┌─────────────┐
   │   Monitor   │ ← Real-time event stream
   └──────┬──────┘
          ↓
   ┌─────────────┐
   │   Evaluate  │ ← Against policy rules
   └──────┬──────┘
          ↓
   ┌─────────────┐
   │    Log      │ ← Immutable audit trail
   └──────┬──────┘
          ↓
   ┌─────────────┐
   │   Alert     │ ← If violation detected
   └─────────────┘
            

2. GDPR Programmatic Erasure

Right to be Forgotten — Automated:

1. Request received (email, web form, API)
2. Identity verified (email confirmation token)
3. All data located across systems:
   - backend.db (customer record, orders, tickets)
   - Logs (anonymized)
   - Backups (flagged for exclusion from next restore)
4. Deletion executed (30-day SLA max)
5. Confirmation sent to requester
6. Audit entry created (immutable)

API Endpoint:
POST /api/v1/gdpr/erasure
{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "reason": "right_to_be_forgotten",
  "verification_token": "tok_xxx"
}
            

3. NIST AI RMF Runtime Evaluation

AI Risk Management Framework — Continuous:

Govern: Policies enforced programmatically
Map: AI systems cataloged with risk tier
Measure: Metrics collected continuously
Manage: Automated responses to risk thresholds

Runtime Checks:
├── Model output toxicity scan
├── Confidence threshold enforcement
├── Rate limiting per agent
├── Anomaly detection on agent behavior
└── Kill switch for rogue agents

Proof of Compliance:
- Cryptographic hash chain of all evaluations
- Daily compliance report (signed)
- Public dashboard (optional)
            

4. Cryptographic Proof-of-Compliance

Every compliance event is hashed and chained:

Hash_n = SHA256(Event_data || Hash_{n-1})

Audit Entry:
{
  "ts": "2026-09-11T15:30:00Z",
  "event": "data_erasure_completed",
  "subject": "user@example.com",
  "actor": "system",
  "result": "success",
  "prev_hash": "sha256_abc...",
  "hash": "sha256_def..."
}

Verification:
- Any tamper detectable via hash mismatch
- Public verification endpoint
- Third-party audit capability
