AI + Human-in-the-Loop IAM: Compliance Mapping Guide
Introduction
This guide maps how AI-driven IAM—with human-in-the-loop—meets the world’s leading security compliance frameworks. Use this as a reference for your governance and audit strategies.
SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley)
- Key Controls: Change management for financial systems, privileged access approval, audit logs.
- HiTL Mapping: All privileged access changes require manual sign-off. Maintain full, immutable logs of both automated and human actions.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act)
- Key Controls: Controls for PHI, traceability of access, breach notification.
- HiTL Mapping: HiTL on any access to PHI or medical records. All changes logged for audit and breach response.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
- Key Controls: Article 22—right to human review for automated decisions, data subject access controls.
- HiTL Mapping: Automated access actions (grants/denials) require a documented path for human intervention. Denials must be reviewable.
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
- Key Controls: Access reviews, privileged account monitoring, strong authentication, audit trails.
- HiTL Mapping: AI can recommend, but all high-risk access is reviewed/approved by a person. Full audit trails for every access event.
NIST 800-53 (Security and Privacy Controls)
- Key Controls: Separation of duties, monitoring, review of high-impact changes, continuous improvement.
- HiTL Mapping: Automated suggestions; humans approve, especially for system and application-level access. Feedback loops for AI improvement.
ISO 27001
- Key Controls: Access control policies, periodic reviews, role segregation, incident response.
- HiTL Mapping: HiTL at key checkpoints, regular training, clear documentation of all decisions, human sign-off for exceptions.
