Regulatory Compliance
Qarion is a data governance platform built with compliance in mind. While Qarion does not replace legal counsel or serve as a compliance certification tool, its architecture provides the operational controls, documentation capabilities, and audit infrastructure that organizations need to satisfy the requirements of major data privacy and AI regulations.
This section explains how specific platform capabilities map to the obligations imposed by four key regulatory frameworks: GDPR, the EU AI Act, CCPA/CPRA, and HIPAA.
