ISO-Aligned Compliance Enforcement in Clause-Based AI

This research outlines how KIE’s clause-based architecture aligns with international standards like ISO 27001 (Information Security) and ISO 42001 (AI Governance).

Clause Enforcement as Compliance Mechanism

Clauses are not wrappers—they are structural rulesets enforced at runtime, embedded at every operational layer (agent, memory, query).

Alignment with ISO Standards

• Access Control: Clause-linked permissions regulate memory reads/writes, mapped to ISO role controls.
• Event Logging: All clause interactions are signed, hashed, and logged with timestamps, creating immutable audit trails.
• Policy Traceability: Each AI action can be traced back to clause origin for governance and legal defense.

Risk Reduction for Enterprises

Clause-bound architecture alerts on violations, auto-triggers fallback, and enables preemptive intervention. Systems become self-documenting and self-correcting.

Conclusion

Compliance becomes the structure—not the overlay. Clause-based design offers continuous assurance aligned with ISO frameworks.
