METHODOLOGY & ARCHITECTURAL FRAMEWORK

How the Developer Compliance Matrix Operates

Unlike legacy GRC platforms that require full read-access tokens to your production cloud environment, SovereignShield computes compliance postures entirely on the client side using modern web technologies.

FRAMEWORK 01

EU GDPR Article 25 Standard

Evaluates compliance against Article 7 consent mechanisms, Article 17 right-to-erasure cascades, Article 32 AES-256-GCM data encryption, and Google Consent Mode v2 implementation.

Read Encryption Guide →

FRAMEWORK 02

HIPAA 45 CFR § 164.312

Audits technical safeguards including § 164.312(a)(1) Unique User ID & Emergency Access, § 164.312(b) Immutable SHA-256 WORM Audit Logging, and § 164.312(e)(1) TLS 1.3 in-transit protections.

Read Audit Logging Guide →

FRAMEWORK 03

India DPDP Act (2026)

Enforces Section 6 itemised multi-language consent notice, Section 8(5) reasonable security safeguards, Section 8(6) 72-hour DPB breach alerts, and Section 9 parental consent mechanisms.

2026 Statutory Rules

FRAMEWORK 04

Cryptographic Ledger Integrity

Checklist states are persisted directly in local browser memory and signed with local SHA-256 checksums, allowing instant generation of tamper-evident auditor evidence packages.
