Purpose-built tools for regulators, data protection authorities, and government agencies to monitor AI compliance, conduct investigations, and inform policy decisions.
How regulated data flows between companies and government agencies on the Arcus platform
Arcus operates a strictly consent-based data sharing model between commercial organizations and government regulators. No company compliance data is ever shared with any regulatory agency without explicit, affirmative opt-in from the data controller (the company). Organizations maintain full sovereignty over their data at all times: they choose which specific data categories to share (e.g., risk assessments, compliance scores, audit documentation), select which specific regulatory agency receives access, and can revoke consent instantly — at which point database-level security policies immediately terminate the regulator's access.
Regulators accessing opted-in data operate under a “closed-by-default” security model. They can only view data from companies that have explicitly consented to their specific agency, within their authorized jurisdiction. Every data access event is recorded in an immutable, append-only audit log that companies can review in real-time.
For aggregate intelligence (compliance trends, sector benchmarks, risk distributions), all data is anonymized and aggregated at the jurisdiction level — no individual company can be identified from aggregate statistics. Cross-regulator data sharing requires mutual consent from both regulatory agencies and is limited to anonymized aggregate statistics for overlapping jurisdictions.
The legal basis for data processing varies by jurisdiction: legitimate interest under GDPR Article 6(1)(f) for regulatory compliance purposes, with explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) for voluntary data sharing with regulators. Australian Privacy Act principles are applied for APAC-region data subjects.
Arcus's voluntary recognition program for companies that proactively share compliance data
Companies that opt in to data sharing through the Arcus platform receive the “Transparency Participant” designation — an Arcus-issued recognition that documents their voluntary commitment to regulatory transparency. This designation is not a certification, endorsement, or approval from any government body, including the EU AI Office, OAIC, or any national regulator.
The Transparency Participant designation confirms that a company has: (a) accepted a formal Data Sharing Agreement, (b) actively shares specified compliance data categories with one or more regulatory agencies, and (c) maintains an auditable record of all data access events. It serves as a verifiable record of proactive engagement within the Arcus ecosystem.
Organizations that demonstrate proactive transparency may be better positioned during regulatory interactions. Regulators generally view voluntary disclosure favorably. However, Arcus makes no guarantees regarding regulatory outcomes, audit frequency, approval timelines, or enforcement decisions.
Participating companies receive an embeddable badge for their website and documentation. The badge displays the number of jurisdictions in which the company actively shares data, providing stakeholders with a visible signal of the organization's commitment to transparency.
Built from the ground up on zero-trust architecture. Your compliance data is protected by the same infrastructure standards demanded by regulated industries.
Row-Level Security (RLS) enforced across every database table, ensuring complete tenant isolation — no organization can access another's data, even at the query level.
AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 encryption in transit for all data. No plaintext storage of sensitive compliance artifacts.
Role-based access control (RBAC) with three permission tiers — Admin, Member, and Viewer — enforced at both the application and database layers.
Server-side business logic isolation: compliance scoring, risk assessment, and AI processing execute exclusively on secure backend infrastructure. No sensitive algorithms or prompts reach the client.
Immutable, append-only audit logs capture every significant platform action — assessments, document generations, data access events, and administrative changes.
Geo-blocking at the middleware layer with IP-based country filtering, applied before any authentication or database interaction to prevent unauthorized regional access.
GDPR-compliant data processing with lawful basis documentation, data subject rights support, and configurable data retention policies aligned with EU and Australian Privacy Act requirements.
Arcus infrastructure is hosted on Supabase, which runs on AWS data centers. For Australian and Asia-Pacific customers, primary data is stored in the ap-southeast-2 (Sydney) region. For European Union customers, data is stored within EU-based data centers to comply with GDPR data residency requirements. All data remains within the selected region throughout its lifecycle — processing, storage, and backup.
Customers requiring specific data residency arrangements can discuss options with our infrastructure team.
Run “what-if” scenarios to quantify the real-world impact of regulatory changes before they take effect
The Regulation Sandbox enables regulators and compliance teams to simulate proposed regulatory changes and immediately see how they would affect regulated AI systems across their jurisdiction. Instead of relying on guesswork or lengthy consultations, agencies can model the exact cost, timeline, and obligation burden of new regulations — empowering evidence-based policymaking.
Model what happens when organizations must comply with a new jurisdiction's AI regulations.
Simulate amendments or updates to existing regulations and assess downstream impact.
See how reclassifying an AI system to a higher risk level changes compliance obligations.
Forecast the full compliance burden before a new AI system enters the market.
Instantly see how many new obligations are created per jurisdiction, with category and priority breakdowns.
Automated cost projections based on compliance hours by category with configurable hourly rates.
Phased implementation roadmap with assessment, implementation, and validation milestones.
