Data Compliance Frameworks

A working aid for removing personal information and asking the right questions before licensing company data to an AI lab. It is organised around the rules that come up most often: HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, CCPA and CPRA, other US state privacy laws, GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA and Quebec Law 25, GLBA, FCRA, COPPA, PCI DSS, CAN-SPAM, the Fair Housing Act, the Driver's Privacy Protection Act, ITAR and EAR, CUI and DFARS, GINA, 21 CFR Part 11, attorney-client privilege, contractual confidentiality and trade secret protection.

It does not make anyone compliant. It summarises what each rule is about so you can find the data it touches, clean it, and brief your counsel. Whether a rule applies depends on your data and where the people in it live.

Four tables

frameworks (21 rows): one row per rule or standard.

Field	Meaning
framework, type, jurisdiction, oversight	what it is, where it applies, who oversees it
covers	who it applies to
protects	what information it protects
key_duties	list of the main duties in plain words
cleaning_implications	what it means for removing data before licensing
keywords	terms that signal this rule in your records
questions_for_counsel	questions worth asking
related_industries	industries where it often comes up

elements (45 rows): the data elements three laws treat as personal: HIPAA's 18 Safe Harbor identifiers and its no-actual-knowledge condition, CCPA and CPRA's categories of personal information and sensitive personal information, and GDPR's personal data identifiers and special categories. Fields: law, source, category, element, note, placeholder_when_cleaning.

crosswalk (17 rows): one row per kind of data (name, email, phone, address, precise dates, government IDs, health, genetic, biometric, IP, device IDs, location, photos, voice, employment, race and religion) showing how HIPAA, CCPA and CPRA, and GDPR each treat it, the placeholder to use when cleaning, and keywords to scan for.

obligations (26 rows): methods, principles and rights for HIPAA (Safe Harbor, Expert Determination), CCPA and CPRA (deidentified information and consumer rights) and GDPR and UK GDPR (principles, pseudonymisation versus anonymisation, data subject rights).

Load it

from datasets import load_dataset
cw = load_dataset("aitrainingdatabroker/data-compliance-frameworks", "crosswalk", split="train")
for r in cw:
    print(r["element"], "|", r["hipaa"], "|", r["ccpa_cpra"], "|", r["gdpr"])

How to use it well

1. Start with crosswalk to see where the three big laws agree and differ for each kind of data.
2. Scan your records with the keywords, then read cleaning_implications for each rule that shows up.
3. Take questions_for_counsel to your counsel, and where a rule requires a qualified expert to sign off (for example HIPAA's Expert Determination), use one.
4. Clean the data, review a sample by hand, and approve it before it leaves your control.

Limits

• One broker's summary, written in October 2026. Laws change and this is not a substitute for their current text.
• It simplifies. Each rule has exceptions, thresholds and definitions that decide whether it applies.
• Keywords are English strings and will miss other languages and misspellings.
• PCI DSS is an industry standard and contractual confidentiality is a contract matter, not law. They are included because they limit what you can license.
• Not legal advice and not a certification. Using this data does not make any dataset compliant or de-identified.
