Why Compliance Matters for Enterprise AI

Regulated industries can't deploy AI systems without clear compliance pathways. CISOs need to demonstrate that AI decision systems meet the same security, privacy, and governance standards as traditional enterprise software—plus additional requirements for explainability and audit trails.

Datacendia is architected from first principles for compliance-critical environments:

• Audit-Ready Evidence: Every AI decision generates cryptographically signed audit packets showing inputs, reasoning, and outputs
• Control Mapping: Pre-mapped controls for SOC 2, NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, and GDPR
• Deployment Flexibility: Private cloud, on-premises, or air-gapped—choose the deployment model that meets your regulatory requirements
• Explainability Built-In: Multi-agent deliberation provides full reasoning lineage, not black-box predictions

Compliance Framework Status

NIST 800-53 Control Family Mapping

Datacendia architecture supports NIST 800-53 Rev 5 control families for federal and defense deployments. The following control families are implemented:

Compliance Features

Decision DNA™: Automated Audit Evidence Generation

When auditors ask "How do you know this AI decision was compliant?", Decision DNA generates cryptographically signed evidence packets in seconds.

What Decision DNA Captures:

• Decision Inputs: All data sources, queries, and parameters that influenced the decision
• Reasoning Chain: Complete multi-agent deliberation transcript showing how the conclusion was reached
• Dissenting Opinions: Which agents disagreed, what positions they held, and why
• Control Evidence: Which compliance controls were active during the decision process
• Cryptographic Proof: Hash-chained audit trail preventing post-hoc modification
• Export Formats: PDF, JSON, or regulator-specific formats (SEC, OCC, Fed, FINRA)

Compliance by Deployment Model

Different regulatory environments require different deployment architectures. Datacendia supports all major deployment models:

Industry-Specific Compliance

Financial Services

Banks and financial institutions face unique regulatory requirements from multiple agencies (OCC, Fed, FDIC, SEC, FINRA). Datacendia supports:

• Model Risk Management (SR 11-7): Model validation, back-testing, and ongoing performance monitoring
• Algorithmic Trading (SEC Rule 15c3-5): Pre-trade risk controls and audit trails for algorithmic decisions
• BSA/AML: Explainable transaction monitoring and suspicious activity detection
• Stress Testing (Dodd-Frank): Scenario analysis with complete audit trails for CCAR submissions
• Consumer Protection (CFPB): Fair lending analysis with explainability for adverse action notices

Healthcare

Healthcare organizations must meet HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules plus state-specific regulations. Datacendia provides:

• HIPAA BAA: Business Associate Agreement available for covered entities
• Minimum Necessary Standard: Data minimization controls for PHI access
• Breach Notification: Automated detection and logging of unauthorized PHI access
• Right to Access: Patient data export in human-readable and machine-readable formats
• De-identification: Safe harbor and expert determination methods supported

Defense & Aerospace

Defense contractors handling CUI or classified information require specialized deployment models. Datacendia supports:

• CMMC 2.0: Control mapping for Level 2 and Level 3 requirements
• ITAR Compliance: On-premise or air-gapped deployment for technical data
• NISPOM (32 CFR 117): Classified information protection for contractor facilities
• Cloud Security (DISA SRG): IL4/IL5 deployment options for DoD cloud environments
• Supply Chain Risk: Vendor assessment and country-of-origin tracking

Government

Federal, state, and local government agencies require specific security baselines. Datacendia supports:

• FedRAMP Moderate: Control-ready architecture for federal cloud deployments
• StateRAMP: State and local government cloud security requirements
• CJIS Security Policy: FBI Criminal Justice Information Services requirements
• IRS 1075: Federal tax information protection controls
• EO 14028: Cybersecurity executive order compliance (SBOM, SLSA, attestation)

Frequently Asked Questions

When will SOC 2 Type II certification be complete?

Datacendia is targeting Q2 2026 for SOC 2 Type II audit completion. All controls are currently operational and evidence collection is in progress. We will notify customers as soon as the audit report is available.

Can I see your System and Organization Controls (SOC) report?

SOC 2 Type II report will be available to customers and qualified prospects under NDA once the audit is complete (target Q2 2026). For pre-audit compliance questions, we provide control mapping documentation and architectural compliance reviews.

Do you have a GDPR Data Processing Addendum (DPA)?

Yes. Our standard DPA covers GDPR Article 28 requirements for data processing. Request the DPA template from contact@datacendia.com

Is Datacendia FedRAMP authorized?

Not yet. Datacendia architecture is designed to FedRAMP Moderate baseline controls (NIST 800-53 Rev 5), but FedRAMP authorization requires a sponsoring federal agency. We are "control-ready" and can pursue authorization when a federal customer requires it.

How do you handle HIPAA compliance?

For healthcare customers processing PHI, Datacendia provides a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and implements Privacy and Security Rule controls. Cloud and private cloud deployments include encryption, access controls, audit logging, and breach notification capabilities required by HIPAA.

Can Datacendia run in a classified environment?

Yes, using air-gapped deployment. Datacendia runs entirely within your classified network with no external connectivity required. This supports ITAR, EAR, classified DoD programs, and intelligence community deployments.

Do you provide compliance consulting or just the platform?

Datacendia provides the platform with compliance-ready architecture. You are responsible for your overall compliance program (policies, procedures, training, audit management). We provide control mapping documentation, architectural reviews, and technical support for your audit preparation.
