AI Compliance for HIPAA, SOC 2, and GDPR
AI tools sit outside your existing compliance perimeter. ShadowLock pulls them inside it. Block sensitive data from reaching unapproved AI services and produce the audit evidence regulators and underwriters are starting to expect.
PHI in an AI prompt is PHI on a server with no BAA.
HIPAA requires technical safeguards for PHI: access controls, audit controls, integrity controls. ShadowLock's PHI classifier detects protected health information patterns at the endpoint and blocks them from being pasted into AI tools that have no BAA. Every event is logged with user, timestamp, and content classification: the kind of evidence HHS investigators look for.
AI tools are now expected in your vendor inventory.
SOC 2 increasingly expects controls covering AI tools as third-party services. ShadowLock contributes to multiple Trust Services Criteria: vendor management (tool inventory), logical access (which tools are allowed), system monitoring (paste events and AI activity), and confidentiality (blocking sensitive data from leaving). Auditors get a clean report; you get peace of mind heading into Type II.
No DPA with ChatGPT, no lawful basis to send EU PII there.
GDPR requires that personal data of EU residents only be processed with a lawful basis and an appropriate data processing agreement. Most consumer-grade AI tools have no DPA with your organization. ShadowLock's EU personal data classifier prevents pastes that would create a violation, and the audit log supports Article 30 records of processing activities.
"What AI controls do you have in place?" Every renewal questionnaire, soon.
Major underwriters now include AI tool usage questions on renewal questionnaires. The pattern is similar to how MFA questions appeared a few years ago: first optional, then expected, then required for the best premium. Having a real AI governance program, with technical controls and audit logs, is becoming a renewal advantage.
AI compliance FAQ
What are AI compliance tools?
AI compliance tools help organizations meet regulatory requirements when employees use AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. They typically combine detection (knowing which AI tools are in use), enforcement (blocking sensitive data submissions), and audit logging (proving controls were in place during the audit period). ShadowLock provides all three in a single platform.
How does ShadowLock help with HIPAA compliance?
HIPAA requires technical safeguards for PHI, including access controls, audit controls, and integrity controls. ShadowLock's PHI classifier detects protected health information patterns at the endpoint and blocks them from being pasted into AI tools that have no BAA. Every event is logged with user, timestamp, and content classification: the kind of evidence HHS investigators look for.
Does ShadowLock cover SOC 2 controls for AI?
SOC 2 increasingly expects controls covering AI tools as third-party services. ShadowLock contributes to multiple Trust Services Criteria: vendor management (tool inventory), logical access (which tools are allowed), system monitoring (paste events and AI activity), and confidentiality (blocking sensitive data from leaving). Auditors get a clean report; you get peace of mind heading into Type II.
What about GDPR and AI?
GDPR requires that personal data of EU residents only be processed with a lawful basis and an appropriate data processing agreement. Most AI tools, especially consumer-grade ChatGPT, have no DPA with your organization. ShadowLock's EU personal data classifier prevents pastes that would create a violation, and the audit log supports Article 30 records of processing activities.
Are cyber insurance underwriters asking about AI?
Yes, increasingly. Major underwriters now include AI tool usage questions in their renewal questionnaires. The pattern is similar to how MFA questions appeared a few years ago: first optional, then expected, then required for the best premium. Having a real AI governance program, with technical controls and audit logs, is becoming a renewal advantage.
