State-of-the-art privacy and compliance engineering guidance for building privacy-respecting systems and auditing existing code for privacy/compliance gaps. Use when work involves privacy, GDPR, PII, personal data, consent, data retention, deletion, DSAR (data subject access requests), SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, compliance evidence, data residency/sovereignty, data classification, anonymization/pseudonymization, breach notification, or EU AI Act obligations — whether designing new data…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SOTA Privacy & Compliance Engineering

## Purpose

Engineering-facing privacy and compliance architecture: how to design, build, and
audit systems so that data protection is a property of the code and infrastructure,
not a binder of policy documents. Compliance that lives in schemas, TTLs, IAM
policies, and CI checks survives staff turnover and audit scrutiny; compliance that
lives in wiki pages does not.

> **This is engineering guidance, not legal advice.** Regulations change, vary by
> jurisdiction, and turn on facts about your business that code review cannot see.
> Regulatory facts below were verified against primary sources as of June 2026 —
> re-verify deadlines and statuses before relying on them, and route legal
> interpretation (lawful basis selection, contract terms, breach reportability
> decisions) to qualified counsel or your DPO. This skill tells you how to build
> the machinery those decisions require.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add martinholovsky/sota-skills/sota-privacy-compliance@sha256:3abc6925a837ec1b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.da12e08, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
