Compliance & Regulatory
One control layer. Many regulators satisfied.
US, UK, EU, and DORA supervisors converge on the same expectations: defensible integrity, disciplined access, recovery you can trust, and AI used with accountability.
Regulatory context
US financial regulators emphasize data integrity, auditability, third-party risk management, operational resilience, and model risk governance. Supervisory expectations are principles-based and enforced through examination, rather than prescriptive technical mandates.
Problem addressed
Sensitive data is often distributed across applications, vendors, and environments — creating gaps in integrity, access traceability, and audit evidence. These gaps increase supervisory, operational, and litigation risk.
EpositBox control approach
- Immutable, blockchain-anchored records.
- Machine-to-machine access with deterministic authentication.
- Full access history and data lineage.
- Separation of data custody from application logic.
- Aligns with SR 11-7 model risk expectations and supervisory guidance on AI governance.
Supervisory takeaway
EpositBox reduces systemic data risk by improving integrity, auditability, and accountability across the data lifecycle — supporting US regulatory objectives for safety, soundness, and transparency.
Regulatory context
UK regulators emphasize operational resilience, accountability, third-party risk, and demonstrable control effectiveness. Firms are expected to evidence how critical services remain resilient under stress and how data integrity is preserved.
Problem addressed
Distributed data custody models make it difficult to demonstrate integrity, traceability, and recoverability during incidents, audits, or supervisory reviews.
EpositBox control approach
- Immutable records supporting provable integrity.
- Zero-trust, non-human access controls.
- Deterministic audit trails aligned to supervisory review.
- Strong separation of duties between applications and custody.
- Immutable AI inputs and access histories support accountable AI adoption.
Supervisory takeaway
EpositBox strengthens firms' ability to demonstrate operational resilience, data integrity, and governance under the UK supervisory framework.
Regulatory context
EU regulators emphasize data protection, integrity, accountability, long-term confidentiality, and explainability. Supervisory frameworks increasingly address AI governance, third-party risk, and operational resilience through prescriptive regulation.
Problem addressed
Long-term retention of sensitive data creates risks related to integrity, unauthorized access, explainability, and future cryptographic exposure — particularly in complex multi-vendor environments.
EpositBox control approach
- Immutable data integrity and versioning.
- Full access traceability and auditability.
- Separation of data custody from processing systems.
- Cryptographic agility supporting long-term confidentiality.
- Immutable lineage supports explainability under emerging EU AI governance.
Supervisory takeaway
EpositBox supports EU regulatory objectives by strengthening accountability, explainability, and long-term data protection through architecture rather than policy alone.
Regulatory context
DORA establishes a unified EU framework so financial entities can withstand, respond to, and recover from ICT-related disruptions. It shifts expectations from policy intent to demonstrable, operationally enforced controls — across ICT risk, recoverability, integrity, third-party ICT risk, and evidence-based oversight.
Problem addressed
Fragmented data architectures hinder DORA compliance: difficulty proving integrity during incidents, limited visibility into historical access, complex recovery and forensic reconstruction, and increased third-party concentration risk.
EpositBox control approach
- ICT Risk Management — minimize human access, immutable integrity, clear trust boundaries.
- Incident Response & Recovery — controlled recovery and forensic review without log reconstruction.
- Operational Resilience Testing — deterministic data integrity under simulated disruption.
- Third-Party ICT Risk — pre-validated, auditable custody layer reduces concentration exposure.
- Information Sharing & Oversight — comprehensive immutable audit trails for supervisory review.
Supervisory takeaway
EpositBox strengthens digital operational resilience at the data layer — enforcing immutable integrity, deterministic access controls, and long-term confidentiality through architecture.
Additional frameworks
Validated where it matters.
Financial-Services Validated
EpositBox completed a three-year validation journey, assessed against 565+ financial-services security and compliance controls.
GDPR
Encryption with disciplined key custody, auditable processing records, and reduced blast radius — regulated values never leak across systems.
PCI & sector-specific
Reduces PCI scope by removing cardholder data from application databases. Supports HIPAA-style audit and integrity, and other sector record-keeping obligations.
