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
