  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads compliance-testing automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

Compliance Testing

<default_to_action> When validating regulatory compliance:

  1. IDENTIFY applicable regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, etc.)
  2. MAP requirements to testable controls
  3. TEST data rights (access, erasure, portability)
  4. VERIFY encryption and access logging
  5. GENERATE audit-ready reports with evidence

Quick Compliance Checklist:

  • Data subject rights work (access, delete, export)
  • PII is encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Access to sensitive data is logged
  • Consent is tracked with timestamps
  • Payment card data not stored (only tokenized)

Critical Success Factors:

  • Non-compliance = €20M or 4% revenue (GDPR)
  • Audit trail everything
  • Test continuously, not just before audits </default_to_action>

Quick Reference Card

When to Use

  • Legal compliance requirements
  • Before security audits
  • Handling PII/PHI/PCI data
  • Entering new markets (EU, CA, healthcare)

GDPR Compliance Testing

// Test data subject rights
test('user can request their data', async () => {
  const response = await api.post('/data-export', { userId });

  expect(response.status).toBe(200);
  expect(response.data.downloadUrl).toBeDefined();

  const data = await downloadFile(response.data.downloadUrl);
  expect(data).toHaveProperty('profile');
  expect(data).toHaveProperty('orders');
});

test('user can delete their account', async () => {
  await api.delete(`/users/${userId}`);

  // All personal data deleted
  expect(await db.users.findOne({ id: userId })).toBeNull();
  expect(await db.orders.find({ userId })).toHaveLength(0);

  // Audit log retained (legal requirement)
  expect(await db.auditLogs.find({ userId })).toBeDefined();
});

test('consent is tracked', async () => {
  await api.post('/consent', {
    userId, type: 'marketing', granted: true,
    timestamp: new Date(), ipAddress: '192.168.1.1'
  });

  const consent = await db.consents.findOne({ userId, type: 'marketing' });
  expect(consent.timestamp).toBeDefined();
  expect(consent.ipAddress).toBeDefined();
});

HIPAA Compliance Testing

// Test PHI security
test('PHI is encrypted at rest', async () => {
  const patient = await db.patients.create({
    ssn: '123-45-6789',
    medicalHistory: 'Diabetes'
  });

  const raw = await db.raw('SELECT * FROM patients WHERE id = ?', patient.id);
  expect(raw.ssn).not.toBe('123-45-6789'); // Should be encrypted
});

test('access to PHI is logged', async () => {
  await api.get('/patients/123', {
    headers: { 'User-Id': 'doctor456' }
  });

  const auditLog = await db.auditLogs.findOne({
    resourceType: 'patient',
    resourceId: '123',
    userId: 'doctor456'
  });

  expect(auditLog.action).toBe('read');
  expect(auditLog.timestamp).toBeDefined();
});

PCI-DSS Compliance Testing

// Test payment card handling
test('credit card numbers not stored', async () => {
  await api.post('/payment', {
    cardNumber: '4242424242424242',
    expiry: '12/25', cvv: '123'
  });

  const payment = await db.payments.findOne({ /* ... */ });
  expect(payment.cardNumber).toBeUndefined();
  expect(payment.last4).toBe('4242'); // Only last 4
  expect(payment.tokenId).toBeDefined(); // Token from gateway
});

test('CVV never stored', async () => {
  const payments = await db.raw('SELECT * FROM payments');
  const hasCVV = payments.some(p =>
    JSON.stringify(p).toLowerCase().includes('cvv')
  );
  expect(hasCVV).toBe(false);
});

Agent-Driven Compliance

// Comprehensive compliance validation
await Task("Compliance Validation", {
  regulations: ['GDPR', 'PCI-DSS'],
  scope: 'full-application',
  generateAuditReport: true
}, "qe-security-scanner");

// Returns:
// {
//   gdpr: { compliant: true, controls: 12, passed: 12 },
//   pciDss: { compliant: false, controls: 8, passed: 7 },
//   violations: [{ control: 'card-storage', severity: 'critical' }],
//   auditReport: 'compliance-audit-2025-12-02.pdf'
// }

Remember

Compliance is mandatory, not optional. Fines are severe: GDPR up to €20M or 4% of revenue, HIPAA up to $1.5M per violation. But beyond fines, non-compliance damages reputation and user trust.

Audit trail everything. Every access to sensitive data, every consent, every deletion must be logged with timestamps and user IDs.

With Agents: Agents validate compliance requirements continuously, detect violations early, and generate audit-ready reports. Catch compliance issues in development, not in audits.

Gotchas

  • Agent checks GDPR consent flow but misses data retention — always verify deletion/anonymization actually works
  • Compliance reports with "100% compliant" are suspicious — no real system is fully compliant, verify each claim
  • Agent may test US regulations only — explicitly specify jurisdiction (EU, CA, etc.) for correct requirements
  • PII in test data is itself a compliance violation — never use production PII, use synthetic generators
  • Audit trail gaps are invisible until audit time — verify logging exists for EVERY data access, not just writes
