COMPLIANCE & STANDARDS

High-governance compliance for EU-regulated AI systems.

Last updated: August 13, 2026. This page details Spctre's support for the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act).

Data Privacy

GDPR Compliance Framework

Processor model

Under the GDPR, Ciwrl Technologies LLC d/b/a Spctre serves primarily as a Data Processor on behalf of our customers (the Data Controllers). We process agent telemetry, environment metadata, and policy evaluation results solely under the instruction of the controller:

Purpose Limitation & Minimization

We process the telemetry, resource scopes, and policy data a controller configures to verify and audit agent execution. Generic evidence integrations retain submitted source records alongside canonical evidence, so controllers should apply redaction and limit active telemetry to non-PII values before submission.

Granular Data Separation

Customer workspaces are logically separated at the database level. Tenant context and row-level security (RLS) policies scope data access to the active workspace during runtime gateway evaluations.

Sub-processors

We maintain a public directory of third-party sub-processors (e.g., Paddle for payments and tax, Google Cloud for application hosting and data storage through Cloud Run and Cloud SQL, and Cloudflare for edge delivery) engaged under strict Data Processing Agreements (DPAs) incorporating EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Explainability

Durable transparency and the Right to Explanation

Audit verified

GDPR Article 22 places restrictions on purely automated decision-making that affects natural persons. If your autonomous agents execute decisions that affect individuals, Spctre is engineered to supply the necessary explainability framework:

Traceable Decision Path

For each action evaluated by Spctre, the record can include the specific policy rule, matching condition, and decision reason (e.g., refund.limit_exceeded). This gives compliance officers a human-readable justification for governed automated actions.

Cryptographic Bundle Proof

Governed decisions retain a hash reference (SHA-256) to the active policy bundle. This lets reviewers retrieve and inspect the rules in force for that decision during an audit.

Review Rationale

When an agent action is routed to a human reviewer, the control plane logs the reviewer's identity, the approval/denial timestamp, and the explicit rationale entered during manual resolution.

Erasure

PII Redaction and the Right to be Forgotten

PII Filtering

Border Redaction Filters

Spctre SDKs integrate customizable regex parameters. You can intercept tool arguments and runtime targets at your cluster border, masking personal identifiers before they ever reach our hosted gateways.

Granular Log Deletion

To fulfill GDPR Article 17 (Right to Erasure), administrators can initiate target erasure requests via our API, identifying and deleting specific traces containing transient personal markers.

Tamper-Evident Ledger Integrity

Audit logging balances erasure with ledger integrity. Deletion operations overwrite parameter metadata while leaving transaction hashes and state signatures intact to preserve overall ledger history.

AI Regulation

Structural support for the EU AI Act

AI Act Article 9/12/13/14

The EU AI Act mandates stringent controls for high-risk AI and governed AI agent systems. Spctre is designed as a foundational compliance tool to help developers fulfill these legal obligations:

Article 9: Risk Management

Our simulation projections let developers test proposed policy rules against real historical logs. This satisfies AI Act requirements to evaluate risks, systemic biases, and failure modes before deploying AI systems.

Article 12: Record Keeping

Spctre automatically generates chronological logs of system operations throughout the life cycle, providing the durable, audit-verifiable proof of AI decisions required by European regulators.

Article 13: Transparency

By separating system rules into inspectable bundles and mapping all runtime targets into normalized schemas, Spctre ensures system operations remain transparent, predictable, and inspectable.

Article 14: Human Oversight

Our REVIEW gate allows developers to build programmatic human-in-the-loop overrides, pausing autonomous tool execution until approved by a qualified operator.
