regulatory-compliance（监管合规性）

Regulatory Compliance Skill

Overview

Assess systems, processes, and artifacts against major regulatory frameworks:

• GDPR/CCPA — Data privacy compliance for EU and California/US state laws
• Privacy-by-Design — Proactive privacy embedding following Ann Cavoukian's 7 principles
• ADA/WCAG — Web and software accessibility under ADA and WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA standards
• DPA Validation — Data Processing Agreement completeness and correctness checks
• Regulatory Monitoring — Guidance on tracking regulatory changes across jurisdictions

Output is structured as PASS / CONDITIONAL / FAIL with severity-rated findings and actionable remediation tasks.

When to Use

• Before deploying any feature that collects, processes, or stores personal data
• During architecture review for systems touching PII or user data
• When validating third-party vendor agreements and DPAs
• Before launching products in EU, California, or any jurisdiction with active privacy law
• When auditing accessibility compliance for public-facing interfaces
• As part of CI compliance gates for data pipelines and APIs

Iron Laws

1. NEVER report PASS on partial compliance — if any item fails, the result is CONDITIONAL or FAIL; partial compliance masks violations.
2. ALWAYS include remediation tasks with specific owning agents — vague findings don't produce fixes; every FAIL/CONDITIONAL must specify who fixes it and how.
3. NEVER skip multi-jurisdiction check — GDPR, CCPA, and 20+ US state laws may all apply; document scope clearly.
4. ALWAYS verify privacy-by-design at design time — retrofitting privacy after deployment is significantly more costly and less effective.
5. NEVER treat accessibility as optional — ADA/WCAG compliance carries active litigation risk (ADA lawsuits up 37% H1 2025); all public interfaces must be validated.
6. ALWAYS document regulation version and date assessed — regulatory guidance evolves; stamp every report with the regulation version and assessment date.

Workflow

Step 1: Scope Definition

Define which regulations apply to the subject of the assessment:

## Compliance Scope

- Subject: [System / Feature / DPA / Interface being assessed]
- Jurisdictions: [EU / California / Virginia / Colorado / Other states]
- Applicable Regulations:
  - [ ] GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation)
  - [ ] CCPA/CPRA (California Consumer Privacy Act / California Privacy Rights Act)
  - [ ] US State Laws (VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA, etc.)
  - [ ] ADA / Section 508 (US accessibility)
  - [ ] WCAG 2.1/2.2 AA (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines)
  - [ ] DPA Review (vendor data processing agreement)
- Personal Data Categories Involved: [list data types]
- Assessment Date: [YYYY-MM-DD]
- Regulation Versions Referenced: [e.g., GDPR as amended 2024, CPRA effective 2023]

Step 2: GDPR/CCPA Compliance Checklist

Execute checklist items relevant to the assessed subject:

Data Inventory & Mapping

• All personal data types cataloged (name, email, IP, behavioral data, biometrics, etc.)
• Data flows documented: collection → processing → storage → sharing → deletion
• Purpose for each data type explicitly defined and limited
• Legal basis for processing documented (consent, legitimate interest, contract, legal obligation)
• Data retention periods defined per data type

Consent Management

• GDPR: Granular consent obtained per processing purpose (not blanket acceptance)
• GDPR: Consent as easy to withdraw as to give (one-click unsubscribe)
• CCPA: Opt-out mechanism present for data sale/sharing ("Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information")
• Consent records maintained (who consented, when, to what)
• Cookie consent implemented for tracking cookies (GDPR only)

Consumer Rights Processing

• Right of access request mechanism exists (DSR/DSAR portal or process)
• Right to deletion honored within required timeframe (GDPR: 30 days, CCPA: 45 days)
• Right to portability supported (GDPR: structured, machine-readable format)
• Right to correct/rectify inaccurate data supported
• DSR records maintained for 24+ months (audit trail)

Third-Party & Vendor Management

• DPAs in place with all vendors processing personal data
• Vendor list maintained and reviewed annually
• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) present for international data transfers
• Sub-processor notifications in DPAs

Security Requirements

• Reasonable security measures implemented (encryption at rest and in transit)
• Access controls and principle of least privilege enforced
• Breach notification procedure documented (GDPR: 72 hours to supervisory authority)
• Security risk assessment conducted for processing activities

Step 3: Privacy-by-Design Review

Evaluate against Ann Cavoukian's 7 Foundational Principles:

Record each principle as: Implemented / Partial / Missing / Not Applicable

Step 4: ADA/WCAG Accessibility Audit

Evaluate against WCAG 2.1 AA (minimum standard) / WCAG 2.2 AA (current standard):

POUR Principles

• Perceivable: All non-text content has text alternatives; audio/video has captions/transcripts; content is not restricted to color alone; minimum 4.5:1 contrast ratio for normal text
• Operable: All functionality available via keyboard; no keyboard traps; skip navigation links present; sufficient time to interact; no content that seizures (no flashing >3Hz)
• Understandable: Language of page set in HTML; error messages are descriptive and helpful; consistent navigation across pages; form labels and instructions clear
• Robust: Valid HTML/ARIA; compatible with current assistive technologies; ARIA labels and roles correctly applied

AI Interface Specific (2025+)

• Chatbot interfaces keyboard accessible and screen reader compatible
• AI-generated content has proper semantic structure
• Alt text provided for AI-generated images
• Voice interfaces have visual alternatives

Severity Classification for Accessibility

• CRITICAL: Completely blocks access for users with disabilities (missing keyboard navigation, no screen reader support)
• HIGH: Significantly impedes usage (poor contrast, missing alt text on key images)
• MEDIUM: Creates friction but workarounds exist (missing skip links, inconsistent labels)
• LOW: Best practice improvement (decorative image has non-empty alt text)

Step 5: DPA Validation Checklist

If reviewing a Data Processing Agreement:

Required DPA Elements (GDPR Article 28)

• Parties clearly identified (controller name/address, processor name/address)
• Subject matter, nature, and purpose of processing defined
• Type of personal data and categories of data subjects specified
• Duration of processing specified
• Controller obligations and rights documented
• Processor obligations:

- Process only on documented controller instructions - Ensure confidentiality of processing personnel - Implement appropriate technical/organizational security measures - Sub-processor rules: require prior written consent; flow-down obligations - Assist controller with DSARs and Article 32-36 obligations - Delete or return data at end of service - Provide audit cooperation and information

• International transfer mechanism specified (SCCs, adequacy decision, etc.)
• Breach notification procedure: processor notifies controller without undue delay
• DPA update trigger: reviewed annually or upon significant processing changes

DPA Quality Flags

• No vague processing descriptions ("process data as needed") — specificity required
• Security measures described with appropriate detail (encryption, access controls, staff training)
• Sub-processor list available and maintained
• Transfer Impact Assessment (TIA) conducted for high-risk countries

Step 6: Regulatory Monitoring Guidance

Provide guidance on maintaining ongoing compliance:

Monitoring Sources

• GDPR: European Data Protection Board (EDPB) — https://edpb.europa.eu/
• CCPA/CPRA: California Privacy Protection Agency — https://cppa.ca.gov/
• US State Laws: IAPP State Privacy Legislation Tracker — https://iapp.org/resources/article/us-state-privacy-legislation-tracker/
• WCAG: W3C WAI — https://www.w3.org/WAI/
• ADA: US DOJ ADA.gov — https://www.ada.gov/

Monitoring Cadence

• Monthly: Review enforcement actions from supervisory authorities
• Quarterly: Check for new or amended state privacy laws
• Annually: Full DPA review with all processors; full accessibility audit
• On Change: Re-assess whenever data processing activities, vendors, or interfaces change materially

Step 7: Produce Compliance Decision

Output one of three decisions:

{
  "decision": "PASS | CONDITIONAL | FAIL",
  "regulationsAssessed": ["GDPR", "CCPA", "WCAG 2.1 AA", "DPA"],
  "assessmentDate": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "findings": [
    {
      "id": "RC-001",
      "regulation": "GDPR",
      "severity": "CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW",
      "category": "Consent Management",
      "description": "Cookie consent banner missing for analytics tracking cookies",
      "status": "FAIL",
      "remediation": "Implement cookie consent platform with granular purpose-based opt-in",
      "owner": "developer",
      "deadline": "Before next deployment"
    }
  ],
  "requiredMitigations": [],
  "evidencePaths": [".claude/context/reports/compliance/"],
  "regulatoryLinks": [
    "https://edpb.europa.eu/our-work-tools/documents/public-consultations/2023/guidelines-032023-deceptive-design-patterns_en"
  ],
  "nextReviewDate": "YYYY-MM-DD",
  "recommendedNextStep": "Assign RC-001 to developer agent; re-assess after remediation"
}

Decision Rules:

• PASS: All applicable checklist items verified, no open findings
• CONDITIONAL: Minor or medium findings present; allowed to proceed with documented remediation plan
• FAIL: Critical or high findings present; must remediate before deployment
