Which regulations BitDrip helps you enforce and how. Use this as your technical checklist for procurement and audit reviews — each article or section number is mapped to the specific detection rule category that enforces it.
Each row is a detection rule category built into BitDrip. Each column is a compliance framework. A check mark means BitDrip's detection rules directly enforce requirements in that framework.
| Rule Category | GDPR | HIPAA | PCI DSS v4 | SOC 2 | ISO 27001 | CCPA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PII Names, emails, phones, addresses, SSNs, DOB, IPs | ✓ | ✓ | Partial | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| PHI Medical records, diagnosis codes, medications, insurance IDs | ✓ | ✓ | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| PCI / Payment Card numbers (Luhn), CVV/PIN, bank accounts, SWIFT/IBAN | ✓ | — | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |

Each section lists specific articles or control numbers, what BitDrip enforces against them, and the mechanism used. Coverage notes are honest about scope.
GDPR governs the collection, processing, and storage of personal data belonging to EU data subjects. It applies to any organisation worldwide that handles data about EU residents, making it the most broadly applicable privacy regulation. BitDrip addresses the technical controls required for lawful processing — it does not replace the legal and organisational obligations (DPO appointment, DPIA documentation, data subject request workflows) mandated by the regulation.
| Article / Requirement | What BitDrip Enforces | How |
|---|---|---|
| Art. 5(1)(c) Data minimisation |
Prevents unnecessary personal data from leaving the enterprise in AI prompts | PII Detection and blocking of personal identifiers (names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, national ID numbers, DOB) in outbound AI requests. Policy can block, warn, or redact. |
| Art. 9 Special category data |
Detects health and biometric data before it reaches AI services | PHI Rules targeting ICD-10 codes, diagnosis terms, medication names, medical record numbers, and insurance IDs. High-confidence detection with immediate-block option. |
| Art. 25 Data protection by design |
Architecture prevents content from flowing outside controlled infrastructure | Architecture BitDrip is entirely self-hosted. No prompt content, violation details, or user data ever leaves your environment. The proxy intercepts at the network layer before content reaches external AI APIs unvetted. |
| Art. 32 Security of processing |
Enforces encryption in transit; generates evidence of technical controls | Architecture Audit TLS 1.3 enforcement on all proxied connections. Audit log records every policy decision with user identity, timestamp, rule triggered, and action taken. |
| Art. 83 Administrative fines |
Provides documented evidence that technical controls were in place | Audit Tamper-evident, hash-chained audit log exportable for DPA investigations. Demonstrates due diligence and existence of technical safeguards at the time of any alleged violation. |
HIPAA's Security Rule mandates administrative, physical, and technical safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI). BitDrip directly addresses several technical safeguard requirements: access controls, audit controls, integrity controls, and transmission security. Organisations using AI tools in healthcare workflows face significant HIPAA risk if PHI leaks through prompts — BitDrip is designed to prevent exactly this.
| Section | What BitDrip Enforces | How |
|---|---|---|
| §164.312(a)(1) Access controls |
Enforces per-user policy and logs user identity on every AI interaction | Audit RBAC integration: different user groups can have different blocking policies. Every policy decision is logged with the authenticated user identity, supporting unique user identification requirements. |
| §164.312(b) Audit controls |
Records and retains hardware and software activity logs for ePHI access events | Audit Immutable audit log captures: timestamp, user, action (block/warn/pass), rule matched, AI service endpoint. Exportable to SIEM. Configurable retention period per compliance profile. |
| §164.312(c)(1) Integrity |
Ensures audit records have not been altered or destroyed | Audit Hash-chain integrity: each audit log entry includes a SHA-256 hash of the previous entry. Any tampering breaks the chain and is detectable during export verification. |
| §164.312(e)(1) Transmission security |
Protects ePHI in transit between your users and AI services | Architecture BitDrip operates as a TLS 1.3 MITM proxy. All AI traffic is terminated and re-encrypted within your perimeter. No unencrypted ePHI traverses external networks. Certificate pinning options available. |
| §164.514(b) Minimum necessary |
Blocks PHI from being included in AI prompts beyond what is required | PHI 29 detection rules covering the PHI categories most likely to appear in AI prompts: medical record numbers, ICD-10 diagnosis codes, condition and disease names, medication names, insurance member IDs, dates of service, provider names, and patient account numbers. |
PCI DSS v4.0 tightens controls around cardholder data protection, requiring organisations to prevent sensitive authentication data (SAD) from being stored or transmitted inappropriately. As employees increasingly use AI tools in finance, support, and operations roles, cardholder data can inadvertently enter prompts. BitDrip detects and blocks this at the network layer before it reaches AI service providers.
| Requirement | What BitDrip Enforces | How |
|---|---|---|
| Req 3.3 SAD protection |
Prevents sensitive authentication data from being transmitted to AI services | PCI Dedicated detection rules for CVV/CVC codes, card PINs, and full magnetic stripe data patterns. Immediate-block policy option with violation logged. |
| Req 3.4 PAN rendering |
Detects primary account numbers (PANs) in outbound AI traffic | PCI Luhn-algorithm-validated detection for Visa, Mastercard, Amex, and Discover card number formats. Reduces false positives dramatically compared to regex-only approaches. Violation triggers block or redaction. |
| Req 7.2 Access control systems |
Logs which user triggered which policy decision for access review purposes | Audit Credentials User-identity-tagged audit log supports least-privilege access reviews. Credential detection (API keys, service account tokens) prevents accidental exposure of access control material. |
| Req 10.2 Audit log implementation |
Generates and retains compliant audit logs for AI traffic policy decisions | Audit Audit log captures all required event types: user ID, event type, date/time, success/failure indicator, origination, and identity of affected resource. Tamper-evident with hash-chain integrity. Configurable retention. |
| Req 12.3.2 Annual risk assessment |
Provides violation data and trend reports for the targeted risk analysis (TRA) | Audit Compliance dashboard generates per-framework violation reports exportable as evidence for annual risk assessment documentation. |
SOC 2 Type II is the de facto security assurance standard in B2B SaaS. It requires documented evidence that controls were operating effectively over a defined audit period. BitDrip contributes controls and supporting evidence across the Security (CC) Trust Service Criteria — particularly logical access, transmission, monitoring, and vendor risk management — which are areas directly impacted by uncontrolled AI tool usage.
| Criterion | What BitDrip Enforces | How |
|---|---|---|
| CC6.1 Logical access security |
Prevents credentials and sensitive data from being disclosed through AI prompts | Credentials PII Detection of API keys (OpenAI, AWS, GCP, GitHub, Stripe, etc.), passwords in context, OAuth tokens, JWTs, and private SSH keys. Access to AI services is logged per user identity. |
| CC6.2 Prior to issuing credentials |
Detects credentials being inadvertently exposed via AI interactions before revocation can occur | Credentials Real-time detection and blocking of credential patterns in prompts and AI responses. Violation triggers immediate alert, enabling rapid revocation workflow. |
| CC6.7 Transmission and disclosure |
Controls and monitors disclosure of information to AI service providers | Architecture Audit All AI API traffic is proxied. No transmission occurs without policy evaluation. Full request/response metadata logged (content hashed, not stored in full) to support disclosure audit trail. |
| CC7.2 Monitoring of system components |
Provides anomaly detection and alerting for AI usage policy violations | Audit Violation rate monitoring, per-user anomaly detection, and SIEM export (CEF/JSON). Threshold-based alerting configurable in the compliance dashboard. |
| CC9.2 Vendor and business partner risk |
Provides visibility into data shared with AI service vendors (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) | Audit Per-vendor traffic reports show volume, violation counts, and blocked requests by AI provider. Supports vendor risk assessment documentation for SOC 2 auditors. |
ISO 27001:2022 introduced significant updates to Annex A controls, including new controls specifically addressing data leakage prevention (A.8.12) and information transfer (A.5.14). AI tool usage is now an explicit risk category that ISMS risk assessments must address. BitDrip maps directly to these updated controls, providing a technical layer that can be cited in the Statement of Applicability (SoA) and risk treatment plan.
| Control | What BitDrip Enforces | How |
|---|---|---|
| A.5.14 Information transfer |
Enforces policies governing the transfer of information to AI service providers | Proprietary PII Policy rules applied to all outbound AI traffic. Transfer rules configurable per user group, AI provider, and data classification. Block, warn, or log actions available. |
| A.8.2 Information classification |
Detects classified and proprietary information markers before transmission | Proprietary Detection of internal classification labels: CONFIDENTIAL, INTERNAL, PROPRIETARY, RESTRICTED, and custom markers configurable per organisation. Source code file paths with internal hostname patterns also detected. |
| A.8.12 Data leakage prevention |
Provides DLP controls across all detection categories for AI channel | PII PHI PCI Credentials 29 detection rules across 6 categories covering the data types most likely to appear in AI prompt leakage incidents. BitDrip is purpose-built as an AI-channel DLP control. |
| A.8.16 Monitoring activities |
Provides continuous monitoring and logging of AI channel activity | Audit Continuous policy evaluation of every AI request. Tamper-evident audit log with SIEM export. Anomaly alerting on violation rate thresholds. All monitoring data retained for configurable period. |
| A.8.20 Networks security |
Enforces TLS inspection and network-layer policy on AI traffic | Architecture BitDrip operates as a network-layer HTTPS proxy. TLS 1.3 termination and re-encryption within the perimeter ensures all AI traffic is inspected. CA certificate management for enterprise-wide trust deployment. |
The CCPA and its CPRA amendment give California residents rights over their personal information and impose obligations on businesses to protect that data. The "reasonable security" standard (§1798.81.5) is a key enforcement point — businesses must implement appropriate technical measures. AI tools present a novel risk vector: employee use of ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini can result in California resident personal information being sent to third-party AI providers, triggering CCPA obligations.
| Section | What BitDrip Enforces | How |
|---|---|---|
| §1798.100 Right to know |
Creates an audit trail of personal information categories disclosed to AI providers | Audit PII Audit log records every violation category and AI provider involved. Per-user and per-provider reports support disclosure mapping exercises required for CCPA "Right to Know" fulfilment. |
| §1798.140(o) Personal information definition |
Detects personal information as broadly defined under CCPA | PII CCPA's PI definition is broad: names, addresses, IP addresses, email addresses, government IDs, biometric data, browsing history, inferences. BitDrip's PII rules cover the technically detectable subset of this definition in text form. |
| §1798.150 Data breach liability |
Reduces breach risk by blocking PI before it reaches AI service providers | PII Credentials Blocking PI in AI prompts prevents that data from appearing in AI provider logs, training datasets, or potential provider-side breaches — all of which could trigger §1798.150 private right of action. |
| §1798.81.5 Reasonable security |
Provides documented technical safeguards for personal information handling | Architecture Audit The California AG's "reasonable security" standard references CIS Controls. BitDrip's combination of network-layer DLP, TLS 1.3 enforcement, per-user access logging, and tamper-evident audit trail constitutes evidence of reasonable security measures applied to the AI traffic channel. |
BitDrip enforces technical controls that are aligned with the frameworks described on this page. The mappings above are provided to assist your technical evaluation — they are not a legal opinion and do not constitute a compliance certification.
BitDrip does not replace your legal counsel, a qualified Data Protection Officer, a PCI QSA, a certified ISO 27001 auditor, or a licensed CPA performing a SOC 2 audit. Compliance with any regulation requires a combination of technical controls, organisational policies, staff training, contractual measures, and ongoing governance — only some of which BitDrip addresses.
Compliance requirements vary by jurisdiction, industry, and the specific nature of your data processing activities. Always engage qualified legal and compliance professionals before making regulatory claims.
