# Compliance Validation Guide

## Overview

The ADPA system now includes comprehensive compliance validation capabilities to ensure all generated documents adhere to compliance considerations and enterprise governance policies. This guide explains how to use the compliance validation features to meet regulatory requirements and organizational standards.

## Features

### 🔒 Comprehensive Compliance Validation
- **Governance Policy Validation**: Ensures documents meet enterprise governance policies
- **Regulatory Compliance**: Validates against applicable regulatory frameworks (GDPR, SOX, HIPAA, etc.)
- **Enterprise Standards**: Checks compliance with internal organizational standards
- **Real-time Validation**: Validates documents during generation process
- **Detailed Reporting**: Generates comprehensive compliance reports

### 📊 Standards Compliance Analysis
- **BABOK v3**: Business Analysis Body of Knowledge compliance
- **PMBOK 7th Edition**: Project Management standards
- **DMBOK 2.0**: Data Management Body of Knowledge
- **ISO 15408**: Common Criteria security standards

### 📈 Compliance Dashboard
- **Real-time Metrics**: Live compliance scores and status
- **Risk Assessment**: Identifies and tracks compliance risks
- **Action Items**: Manages compliance-related tasks
- **Trend Analysis**: Tracks compliance improvements over time

## Quick Start

### 1. Basic Document Validation

```javascript
import { ComplianceValidationService } from './src/services/ComplianceValidationService.js';

// Initialize the service
const complianceService = new ComplianceValidationService(
  ComplianceValidationService.getDefaultConfig()
);

// Validate a document
const validation = await complianceService.validateDocumentCompliance(
  'project-charter',
  'project-management',
  documentContent
);

console.log(`Compliance Score: ${validation.complianceScore}%`);
console.log(`Status: ${validation.complianceStatus}`);
```

### 2. Compliance-Enhanced Document Generation

```javascript
import { ComplianceEnhancedGenerator } from './src/modules/documentGenerator/ComplianceEnhancedGenerator.js';

// Create generator with compliance validation
const generator = new ComplianceEnhancedGenerator('My Project', {
  enableComplianceValidation: true,
  generateComplianceReports: true,
  complianceThreshold: 80
});

// Generate documents with compliance validation
const result = await generator.generateAllWithCompliance();

console.log(`Overall Compliance: ${result.complianceValidation.overallComplianceScore}%`);
console.log(`Critical Issues: ${result.complianceValidation.criticalIssues}`);
```

### 3. API Integration

```bash
# Validate a single document
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/compliance/validate-document \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "documentId": "project-charter",
    "documentType": "project-management",
    "content": "Document content here..."
  }'

# Generate documents with compliance validation
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/v1/compliance/generate-with-validation \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "context": "My Project",
    "options": {
      "enableComplianceValidation": true,
      "complianceThreshold": 80
    }
  }'

# Get enhanced compliance dashboard

```

## Configuration

### Default Compliance Configuration

The system comes with a comprehensive default configuration that includes:

#### Governance Policies
- **Document Quality Standards**: Executive summary, objectives, risk assessment requirements
- **Data Governance Policy**: Data classification, privacy considerations, retention policies
- **Security Governance Policy**: Security requirements, threat assessment, incident response

#### Regulatory Frameworks
- **GDPR**: EU data protection requirements
- **SOX**: Financial reporting and internal controls
- **HIPAA**: Healthcare data protection
- **PCI DSS**: Payment processing security

#### Enterprise Standards
- **Enterprise Architecture Standards**: Documentation and technology stack compliance
- **Project Management Standards**: Charter requirements and stakeholder engagement

### Custom Configuration

You can customize the compliance configuration to meet your organization's specific needs:

```javascript
const customConfig = {
  enabledStandards: ['BABOK_V3', 'PMBOK_7', 'DMBOK_2', 'ISO_15408'],
  governancePolicies: [
    {
      policyId: 'CUSTOM-001',
      name: 'Custom Policy',
      category: 'ALL',
      mandatory: true,
      requirements: ['Custom requirement 1', 'Custom requirement 2'],
      validationCriteria: ['Validation criteria 1', 'Validation criteria 2']
    }
  ],
  regulatoryFrameworks: [
    // Add your organization's specific regulatory requirements
  ],
  enterpriseStandards: [
    // Add your organization's internal standards
  ],
  validationRules: [
    // Add custom validation rules
  ],
  riskThresholds: {
    // Define risk thresholds for different categories
  }
};

const complianceService = new ComplianceValidationService(customConfig);
```

## Compliance Reports

### Types of Reports

1. **Individual Document Reports**: Detailed compliance analysis for each document
2. **Executive Summary**: High-level compliance overview for management
3. **Detailed Analysis**: Comprehensive compliance analysis across all documents
4. **Dashboard Data**: JSON data for compliance dashboards and monitoring

### Report Locations

- **Individual Reports**: `generated-documents/compliance-reports/{document-key}-compliance.md`
- **Executive Summary**: `generated-documents/compliance-reports/executive-compliance-summary.md`
- **Detailed Analysis**: `generated-documents/compliance-reports/detailed-compliance-analysis.md`
