Compliance Patterns

The MATIH Platform is designed to support compliance with major regulatory frameworks including SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR. This section maps the platform's technical controls to specific compliance requirements and describes the operational patterns that organizations can use to maintain their compliance posture.

Compliance Overview

SOC 2 Controls

SOC 2 compliance is organized around five Trust Services Criteria. The following table maps MATIH's technical controls to each criterion.

Security (Common Criteria)

Availability

Processing Integrity

Confidentiality

Privacy

Audit Logging

The audit trail is the backbone of compliance monitoring. Every security-relevant action is recorded as an immutable AuditEvent.

AuditEvent Structure

public record AuditEvent(
    String eventId,          // Unique event identifier
    String eventType,        // e.g., "AUTH_LOGIN", "DATA_ACCESS", "ROLE_CHANGE"
    String userId,           // Who performed the action
    String tenantId,         // Which tenant context
    String resourceType,     // e.g., "dashboard", "query", "user"
    String resourceId,       // Specific resource identifier
    String action,           // e.g., "CREATE", "READ", "UPDATE", "DELETE"
    String outcome,          // "SUCCESS" or "FAILURE"
    String ipAddress,        // Client IP address
    String userAgent,        // Client user agent
    Map<String, Object> metadata,  // Additional context
    Instant timestamp        // When the event occurred
)

Audited Events

Audit Logging Usage

AuditLogger auditLogger = new AuditLogger();
 
auditLogger.log(AuditEvent.builder()
    .eventType("DATA_ACCESS")
    .userId("user-123")
    .tenantId("acme-corp")
    .resourceType("dashboard")
    .resourceId("dash-456")
    .action("READ")
    .outcome("SUCCESS")
    .ipAddress("203.0.113.42")
    .metadata(Map.of("queryCount", 5))
    .build());

Audit Trail Storage

Audit logs are append-only and protected against modification. In production, logs are streamed to immutable cloud storage for long-term retention.

HIPAA Compliance Patterns

For organizations handling Protected Health Information (PHI), MATIH provides additional safeguards.

Technical Safeguards

Administrative Safeguards

Physical Safeguards

Business Associate Agreements

When MATIH processes PHI on behalf of a covered entity, Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) must be established with:

• Cloud infrastructure providers (Azure, AWS, GCP)
• Managed database services
• Third-party AI/ML services (OpenAI, etc.)

The platform's configuration supports BAA-compliant deployment through dedicated infrastructure options and data residency controls.

GDPR Compliance Patterns

Data Subject Rights

MATIH provides built-in support for GDPR data subject rights through the privacy dashboard and consent management services:

Data Subject Request (DSR) Handling

Data Subject submits request
        |
        v
[Privacy Dashboard] -- Log DSR in audit trail
        |
        v
[Identity Verification] -- Verify requester identity
        |
        v
[DSR Processing] -- Execute the requested action
        |
        v
[Confirmation] -- Notify data subject of completion
        |
        v
[Audit Record] -- Record DSR completion for compliance

Consent Management

The consent management service tracks user consent for data processing activities:

{
  "userId": "user-123",
  "tenantId": "acme-corp",
  "consents": [
    {
      "purpose": "analytics",
      "granted": true,
      "grantedAt": "2026-01-15T10:00:00Z",
      "expiresAt": "2027-01-15T10:00:00Z",
      "version": "v2.1"
    },
    {
      "purpose": "marketing",
      "granted": false,
      "withdrawnAt": "2026-02-01T08:30:00Z"
    }
  ]
}

Data Classification

MATIH supports data classification tagging for GDPR compliance:

Data Processing Records

The platform maintains records of processing activities as required by GDPR Article 30:

Compliance Monitoring Dashboard

The platform provides a compliance monitoring dashboard that aggregates security metrics:
