Other Compliance Frameworks

Beyond the core frameworks (EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001, SOC 2, NIST AI RMF, HIPAA), Compliance AI supports 30+ additional frameworks covering privacy laws, sector-specific rules, and emerging AI regulations in 22 jurisdictions.

Global Privacy Laws

CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)

Jurisdiction: California, USA (applies globally to CA residents) Trigger: Business collects personal info of CA residents Max penalty: $7,500 per violation

Key rights:

  • Know what data is collected
  • Delete personal data
  • Opt out of data sales
  • Non-discrimination for exercising rights

For AI systems:

  • If AI trains on CA resident data → CCPA applies
  • Must disclose AI data collection
  • Honor deletion requests (retrain model without that person’s data)
  • Do not discriminate against opt-outs

Expanding to: CPRA (2024), other US states

LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados)

Jurisdiction: Brazil Scope: Any org processing Brazil resident data Max penalty: 2% of revenue or $15M per violation

Similar to GDPR but with key differences:

  • Requires legitimate interest assessment
  • Consent often needed (even for company’s interests)
  • Shorter timeframes for data subject requests (15 days)
  • Mandatory Data Protection Officer for large processors

For AI systems:

  • Very similar to GDPR (conduct DPIA, document legal basis, honor data subject rights)
  • Compliance AI’s GDPR module covers most LGPD

PDPA (Personal Data Protection Act)

Jurisdiction: Singapore, Malaysia, Japan Scope: Any org collecting Singapore resident personal data Max penalty: $1M SGD

Key principles:

  • Notice (tell people you’re collecting)
  • Purpose limitation (only use for stated purpose)
  • Consent (usually needed)
  • Accuracy
  • Protection
  • Openness
  • Access and correction
  • Accountability

For AI systems:

  • Similar consent/notice requirements as GDPR
  • Document data usage for each AI system
  • Implement access/correction procedures

AIDA (Artificial Intelligence and Data Act)

Jurisdiction: Canada (proposed, not yet passed) Proposed trigger: High-risk AI systems Proposed requirements:

  • Risk assessment
  • Bias testing
  • Documentation
  • Human oversight for high-risk decisions
  • Incident reporting

Status: Expected 2024-2025 TruthVouch support: AIDA compliance checklist (will auto-activate when law passes)

Japan APPI (Act on Protection of Personal Information)

Jurisdiction: Japan Scope: Any org collecting Japan resident personal data Max penalty: ¥100M or 1% revenue (highest globally)

Key requirements:

  • Privacy policy required
  • Consent usually needed
  • Security safeguards
  • Purpose limitation
  • Cross-border transfer restrictions (need explicit consent or safe harbor)

For AI systems:

  • If training data includes Japan residents → APPI applies
  • Similar to GDPR/LGPD requirements
  • Stricter on cross-border transfers

Australia Privacy Act (Australian Privacy Principles)

Jurisdiction: Australia Scope: Orgs collecting Australia resident data Max penalty: A$2.5M

13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs):

  • Open & transparent management (privacy policy)
  • Anonymity & pseudonymity
  • Collection of solicited personal information
  • Dealing with unsolicited information
  • Notification (when collecting)
  • Use/disclosure (purpose limitation)
  • Data quality & data correction
  • Data security
  • Openness (access to personal data)
  • Unique identifiers
  • Anonymity (where practicable)
  • Transborder data flows
  • Sensitive information (health, biometric, etc. — higher protection)

For AI systems:

  • Privacy policy must disclose AI usage
  • For sensitive data (health, race, union), stricter consent needed
  • APPs similar to GDPR in spirit

India DPDP Act (Digital Personal Data Protection)

Jurisdiction: India Effective: 2024 Scope: India resident personal data Max penalty: ₹500 Cr ($60M)

Key principles:

  • Purpose and choice (consent-based)
  • Collection minimization
  • Notice
  • Accuracy
  • Safety
  • Storage limitation (delete when purpose met)
  • Transparency & grievance redress
  • Processing limitations (use only for stated purpose)

For AI systems:

  • If training data includes India residents → DPDP applies
  • Consent-based approach similar to GDPR
  • Data minimization important (don’t collect unnecessary data)

South Korea POPIA (Personal Information Protection Act)

Jurisdiction: South Korea Scope: Any org collecting SK resident data Max penalty: ₩100M or 1% revenue

Key requirements:

  • Privacy policy & notice required
  • Consent usually needed
  • Purpose limitation
  • Security safeguards
  • Data subject access & correction rights
  • Unique identifiers restricted
  • Sensitive data (biometric, health) extra protection

For AI systems:

  • Similar to GDPR/LGPD
  • Biometric AI (facial recognition) heavily regulated
  • Cross-border transfers restricted
