Regulatory Compliance

At Polyguard, regulatory compliance is a core pillar of our approach to security, privacy, and trust. Although we are an early-stage company, we have prioritized building a robust governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) program from the outset, and have engaged a leading cybersecurity firm (see attachments) to conduct a formal GRC assessment in 2025. Our commitment is to not only meet but exceed the standards expected by our enterprise customers and regulatory bodies.

Data Protection and Privacy

Polyguard’s systems and processes are designed to align with major data privacy regulations, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We implement data minimization, user consent management, access controls, and encryption of data at rest and in transit, in line with these frameworks.

Security Standards and Certifications

We are actively working toward a SOC 2 Type II certification and follow best practices aligned with the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) Trust Services Criteria. Our technical and operational controls also reflect guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), particularly the NIST 800-63 Digital Identity Guidelines, which are foundational to our identity verification processes.

While formal certifications are underway, we have implemented controls and internal audits consistent with these standards, and maintain comprehensive documentation to support future attestation.

Identity and Anti-Fraud Regulations

Polyguard’s identity verification solutions are built to align with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) where applicable, and we have designed our technology stack with compliance to industry-specific requirements such as the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) in mind. Our identity proofing protocols and fraud prevention measures adhere closely to emerging best practices for secure and verifiable digital identities.

Audit and Reporting

Polyguard maintains detailed operational logs and audit trails to support customer compliance requirements. Our platform can produce reporting necessary for regulatory audits and internal reviews, including access history, identity verification events, and data residency assurances.

Ongoing Monitoring and Adaptation

We recognize that the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, particularly in the areas of artificial intelligence, biometrics, and digital trust. Polyguard is committed to continuous monitoring of relevant legal and regulatory changes, and we proactively update our processes and policies to ensure ongoing compliance as standards develop.
