Overview#
Regulatory requirements do not stand still. A financial institution managing SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, FINRA, and PCI-DSS obligations simultaneously cannot afford to monitor each framework in isolation with separate tooling and manual review processes. The Compliance Rule Engine provides a unified policy enforcement layer that evaluates operations continuously against all applicable regulatory requirements, detects violations in real time, and triggers automated remediation workflows before issues escalate.
The platform applies across financial institutions, healthcare providers, government agencies, law enforcement data controllers, defence contractors, and regulated enterprises. Declarative rule logic and ML-enhanced anomaly detection work together, covering both the well-defined violations that rules can specify precisely and the subtle behavioural patterns that only emerge at scale.
Key Features#
- Extensive pre-built compliance rule library covering SOX, HIPAA, GDPR, FINRA, PCI-DSS, and 23+ regulations
- ML-enhanced rule evaluation with contextual intelligence for high violation detection accuracy
- Continuous enforcement maintaining high organisational compliance rates across all rule categories
- 18 rule categories including data access controls, evidence handling, investigation workflows, documentation requirements, and audit trail completeness
- Declarative logic rules (IF-THEN conditions) combined with machine learning models for anomaly detection beyond what explicit rules can capture
- Integration with external data sources including sanctions lists, regulatory databases, and threat intelligence feeds
- Automated remediation workflows triggered by rule violations, reducing the time from detection to resolution
- Configurable rule priorities, severity levels, and escalation paths per organisational structure
- Real-time dashboards tracking compliance posture across all rule categories
Use Cases#
- Financial Regulatory Compliance: Banks and financial institutions enforce SOX, FINRA, and PCI-DSS requirements through automated rule monitoring and violation detection, with automated remediation for common failure patterns
- Healthcare Data Protection: Healthcare organisations maintain HIPAA compliance with continuous monitoring of data access controls, privacy rules, and audit requirements across all clinical systems
- Evidence Handling Compliance: Law enforcement agencies enforce evidence handling procedures, chain of custody requirements, and documentation standards through automated rule evaluation that runs at the point of each custody action
- Cross-Regulation Monitoring: Organisations subject to multiple regulatory frameworks monitor compliance across all applicable regulations from a centralised rule engine, eliminating siloed compliance functions
Integration#
- Connects with investigation platforms and case management systems for real-time rule evaluation on every action
- Compatible with sanctions screening and regulatory databases for external data enrichment
- Supports SIEM and security monitoring platforms for threat intelligence correlation
- Automated alerting through email, dashboard notifications, and collaboration platform webhooks
- Role-based access controls with comprehensive audit logging of all rule evaluations
- Multi-tenant data isolation for shared-services deployments
Open Standards#
- GDPR (EU) 2016/679: Rule evaluations are mapped directly to specific GDPR articles (Art. 25 Data Protection by Design, Art. 32 Security of Processing, Art. 33 Breach Notification), and breach notification deadlines are tracked per the regulation's mandatory timelines.
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022: The engine enforces controls across all four ISO/IEC 27001 themes (Organisational, People, Physical, Technological), covering Annex A controls for access control, incident management, logging, and cryptography.
- NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5: Pre-built rule sets cover NIST control families including account management, event logging, identification and authentication, and transmission/cryptographic protection, enabling continuous compliance assessment against this catalogue.
- FIPS 140-2: Dedicated rule sections verify cryptographic module compliance, key management, physical security, and roles/services against the Federal Information Processing Standard requirements for validated cryptographic modules.
- NIS2 Directive (EU) 2022/2555: The engine tracks Art. 21 cybersecurity risk-management measures and enforces Art. 23 incident reporting obligations, including the 72-hour initial notification deadline.
- CJIS Security Policy: Law enforcement deployments enforce CJIS auditing and accountability controls (sections 5.4.1, 5.4.2), advanced authentication (5.6.2.2), and encryption-in-transit and at-rest requirements (5.10.1, 5.11.1).
- MITRE ATT&CK: Threat intelligence correlation rules reference the MITRE ATT&CK framework taxonomy as a compliance framework variant, enabling rule evaluation against known adversary technique mappings.
- GraphQL: All compliance rule evaluation results, framework reports, and audit records are exposed and queried through a structured GraphQL API, enabling integration with external dashboards and SIEM platforms.
