Compliance check

Compliance Check Skill

Security Auditor Role

You are the security-auditor — a security and compliance auditor that prevents security violations and compliance breaches.

Operating Mode

• CRITICAL violations block merge. Must be fixed before PR approval.
• WARNING findings are advisory. Should be fixed but do not block.

Compliance Quick Reference

Framework	Focus	Key Rules	Max Penalty
HIPAA	Healthcare PHI	PHI encryption, audit logs, no PII in logs, 24hr breach notification	$50,000/violation
GDPR	EU personal data	Consent, right to access/delete, data minimization, 72hr breach notification	4% annual revenue
PCI DSS 4.0	Payment cards	12-char passwords, MFA, 15min timeout, no card storage, HTTPS only	$500,000/month
PIPEDA	Canadian data	Consent, purpose limitation, safeguards, openness	CA$100,000
CCPA	California data	Right to know, delete, opt-out of sale	$7,500/violation
SOC 2	Security controls	No hardcoded secrets, access control logging, change management, incident response	Audit failure

Incident Response

If a CRITICAL violation is found:

1. Block the commit/merge immediately
2. Alert the developer with the specific fix required
3. Assess impact if already in production (data leak? credential exposure?)
4. Notify per breach timelines — GDPR: 72 hours, HIPAA: 60 days

Purpose

Comprehensive compliance validation against HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, PIPEDA, CCPA, and SOC 2 requirements for healthcare and personal data handling.

When to Use

• Before implementing features that handle:
  • User authentication/authorization
  • Personal Health Information (PHI)
  • Payment data
  • Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
• Before PR for compliance-sensitive features
• Monthly compliance audits
• After implementing data handling logic

Usage

/compliance-check [path]

Examples:

/compliance-check                          # Check entire codebase
/compliance-check src/                     # Check specific directory
/compliance-check src/users/               # Check user handling code
/compliance-check src/features/patients/   # Check PHI handling

Compliance Frameworks

HIPAA (Healthcare - USA)

Applies to: Personal Health Information (PHI) handling

Requirements:

• PHI encrypted at rest and in transit
• Access controls (role-based, minimum necessary)
• Audit logs for PHI access
• No PHI in logs or errors
• Business Associate Agreement (BAA) for third-party services
• Data breach notification procedures
• Patient rights (access, amendment, accounting)

What It Checks:

PHI Detection:

// ❌ VIOLATION: PHI in logs
console.log('Patient record:', {
  mrn: patient.medicalRecordNumber,
  diagnosis: patient.diagnosis,
  treatment: patient.treatment,
});

// ❌ VIOLATION: PHI in error messages
throw new Error(`Patient ${patient.mrn} diagnosis: ${patient.diagnosis}`);

// ❌ VIOLATION: PHI not encrypted
const patient = await fetch('/api/patients/123').then((r) => r.json());
localStorage.setItem('patient', JSON.stringify(patient)); // Not encrypted!

Fixes:

// ✅ FIXED: No PHI in logs
logger.info('Patient record accessed', {
  patientId: patient.id, // Non-PHI identifier
  userId: currentUser.id,
  timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
});

// ✅ FIXED: Generic error message
throw new PatientAccessError('Unable to access patient record');

// ✅ FIXED: PHI encrypted at rest (via SecureStore)
import * as SecureStore from 'expo-secure-store';

await SecureStore.setItemAsync('patient_data', JSON.stringify(patient), {
  keychainAccessible: SecureStore.WHEN_UNLOCKED,
});

GDPR (Europe)

Applies to: EU residents' personal data

Requirements:

• User consent for data collection
• Right to access (data export)
• Right to erasure (data deletion)
• Data minimization (only collect what's needed)
• Privacy by design
• Data breach notification (72 hours)
• Data processing agreements

What It Checks:

Consent Flows:

// ❌ VIOLATION: No consent before data collection
export async function createUser(data: CreateUserInput) {
  return await db.users.create({
    email: data.email,
    phone: data.phone,
    marketingPreferences: true, // Auto-opted in!
  });
}

// ✅ FIXED: Explicit consent required
export async function createUser(data: CreateUserInput) {
  if (!data.consentGiven) {
    throw new ConsentRequiredError('User must consent to data collection');
  }

  return await db.users.create({
    email: data.email,
    phone: data.phone,
    marketingPreferences: data.marketingConsent || false, // Opt-in only
    consentedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
  });
}

Right to Access:

// ✅ FIXED: Data export endpoint
export async function exportUserData(userId: string): Promise<UserDataExport> {
  const [user, subscriptions, activity] = await Promise.all([
    db.users.findUnique({ where: { id: userId } }),
    db.subscriptions.findMany({ where: { userId } }),
    db.activity.findMany({ where: { userId } }),
  ]);

  return {
    personalInfo: { email: user.email, name: user.name },
    subscriptions,
    activityLog: activity,
    exportedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
  };
}

Right to Erasure:

// ✅ FIXED: Hard delete with cascade
export async function deleteUser(userId: string) {
  await db.$transaction([
    db.activity.deleteMany({ where: { userId } }),
    db.subscriptions.deleteMany({ where: { userId } }),
    db.users.delete({ where: { id: userId } }),
  ]);

  logger.info('User data deleted (GDPR erasure)', {
    userId,
    deletedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
  });
}

PCI DSS (Payment - Global)

Applies to: Credit card data handling

Requirements:

• No credit card data stored locally
• Tokenization via payment provider (Stripe, etc.)
• HTTPS enforced
• Password requirements (min 12 chars, complexity)
• Session timeout configured (15 minutes idle)
• Strong cryptography (TLS 1.2+)

What It Checks:

Card Data Storage:

// ❌ VIOLATION: Storing card data
export async function processPayment(data: PaymentInput) {
  const payment = await db.payments.create({
    cardNumber: data.cardNumber, // NEVER STORE!
    cvv: data.cvv, // NEVER STORE!
    expiryDate: data.expiryDate,
  });
}

// ✅ FIXED: Use Stripe tokenization
import Stripe from 'stripe';

export async function processPayment(data: PaymentInput) {
  const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);

  const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
    amount: data.amount,
    currency: 'usd',
    payment_method: data.stripeToken, // Stripe token, not raw card
  });

  const payment = await db.payments.create({
    stripePaymentIntentId: paymentIntent.id,
    last4: data.last4, // Only last 4 digits allowed
    amount: data.amount,
  });

  return payment;
}

Password Requirements (PCI DSS 4.0):

// ❌ VIOLATION: Weak password requirements (8 chars)
const PasswordSchema = z.object({
  password: z.string().min(8), // PCI DSS 4.0 requires 12!
});

// ✅ FIXED: PCI DSS 4.0 compliant (12 chars minimum)
const PasswordSchema = z.object({
  password: z
    .string()
    .min(12, 'Password must be at least 12 characters')
    .regex(/[A-Z]/, 'Password must contain uppercase letter')
    .regex(/[a-z]/, 'Password must contain lowercase letter')
    .regex(/[0-9]/, 'Password must contain number')
    .regex(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/, 'Password must contain special character'),
});

PIPEDA (Canada)

Applies to: Personal information of Canadians

Requirements:

• Consent for collection, use, disclosure
• Purpose limitation (collect only for stated purpose)
• Accuracy (keep data current)
• Safeguards (protect with security measures)
• Openness (transparent about practices)
• Individual access (right to access own data)
• Accountability (responsible for compliance)

CCPA (California - USA)

Applies to: California residents' personal information

Requirements:

• Right to know (what data is collected)
• Right to delete
• Right to opt-out of sale
• Non-discrimination (equal service regardless of opt-out)
• Privacy policy disclosure

What It Checks:

// ❌ VIOLATION: No opt-out mechanism
export async function shareDataWithPartners(userId: string) {
  const user = await getUser(userId);
  await sendToPartner(user); // No opt-out check!
}

// ✅ FIXED: Respect "Do Not Sell" preference
export async function shareDataWithPartners(userId: string) {
  const user = await getUser(userId);

  if (user.doNotSell) {
    throw new DataSharingOptOutError('User opted out of data sharing');
  }

  await sendToPartner(user);
}

SOC 2 Type II

Applies to: All user data (security controls)

Requirements:

• Access controls (authentication, authorization)
• Logging and monitoring
• Change management
• Vendor management
• Business continuity
• Incident response

What It Checks:

// ❌ VIOLATION: No authorization check
export async function deleteOrganization(orgId: string) {
  return await db.organizations.delete({ where: { id: orgId } });
}

// ✅ FIXED: Role-based access control
export async function deleteOrganization(orgId: string, currentUser: User) {
  if (!currentUser.roles.includes('ADMIN')) {
    throw new UnauthorizedError('Only admins can delete organizations');
  }

  return await db.organizations.delete({ where: { id: orgId } });
}

Validation Rules

Critical (Blocks Merge)

These violations must be fixed before PR approval:

1. PHI in logs - HIPAA violation
2. Card data storage - PCI DSS violation
3. Missing consent - GDPR violation
4. No encryption at rest - HIPAA/SOC 2 violation
5. Missing access controls - SOC 2 violation

High Priority

Fix before deploying to production:

1. Weak passwords - PCI DSS 4.0 violation
2. Session timeout too long - PCI DSS violation
3. Missing audit logs - SOC 2 violation
4. No data export - GDPR violation
5. No data deletion - GDPR/CCPA violation

Medium Priority

Fix when possible:

1. Missing privacy policy - GDPR/CCPA warning
2. Unclear consent flows - PIPEDA warning
3. Over-collection - GDPR data minimization

After Running

If critical violations found:

# Fix violations immediately
# Re-run compliance check
/compliance-check src/features/patients/
