How to manage compliance with Raccoon AI

1

Identify applicable regulations

Determine which regulations apply to your business based on industry, location, and data handling practices.

Know your obligations

GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS-different businesses face different requirements. Understanding what applies is the first step.

Compliance requirements for NovaPay (B2B payments API, Series A). Process cards and ACH, store merchant data, US expanding to Canada/UK. No certifications yet, enterprise prospects asking for SOC 2 and PCI DSS. Rank frameworks by: legal requirement vs market expectation, difficulty, sales impact.

2

Assess current state

Evaluate your current compliance posture. Identify what you're doing well and where gaps exist.

Honest assessment

Compliance audits are not the time for optimism. Identify real gaps so you can address them before regulators or auditors do.

Assess NovaPay against PCI DSS v4.0. Current state: card data direct to Stripe (never see full PAN), store last 4 digits, AWS with encryption, VPN for prod access, no formal policies, broad dev access, no log reviews, no pen test. Which SAQ applies? Biggest gaps?

3

Generate compliance checklists

Create detailed checklists covering all requirements for your applicable regulations.

Nothing overlooked

Comprehensive checklists ensure you address every requirement. Track progress and maintain documentation.

PCI DSS SAQ-A checklist for NovaPay. Format: requirement, current state (Met/Partial/Not Met), evidence needed, owner, due date. Group by 12 PCI requirements. Flag likely issues based on our assessment. Note new v4.0 requirements.

4

Analyze contracts for risk

Review vendor contracts, customer agreements, and other documents for compliance implications.

Contractual compliance

Your compliance depends on your vendors too. Ensure contracts include appropriate data protection and compliance clauses.

Review NovaPay's Stripe agreement for PCI implications: Does their AOC cover our use case? Shared responsibility breakdown? DPA gaps for UK expansion? Subprocessor visibility? Breach notification timeline vs our customer promises? Also review AWS BAA and MongoDB Atlas agreement (attached).

5

Create remediation plans

Develop action plans to address identified gaps. Prioritize by risk and regulatory importance.

Prioritize effectively

Not all gaps are equal. Address high-risk issues first. Create realistic timelines for remediation.

90-day PCI remediation plan for NovaPay. Budget: $30K tools, $20K consultant. Team: 1 engineer 50%, CTO oversight. Constraints: can't slow product dev, Q3 enterprise deal ($200K) needs SAQ-A, no security hire until Series B. For each item: task, owner, effort, dependencies, week, cost.

6

Document everything

Maintain comprehensive documentation of your compliance efforts. This is often required by regulators.

Documentation is compliance

Regulators want to see evidence. Document policies, procedures, assessments, and remediation efforts systematically.
