Examples

Example 1: GDPR Data Protection

Input:

def delete_user(user_id):
    # Delete user account
    db.delete_user(user_id)
    # But keep logs with user data

Expected Output:

NON-COMPLIANT: GDPR Data Deletion
Requirement: GDPR Article 17 - Right to erasure
Issue: User data deletion does not remove all personal data from logs
Risk: Violation of GDPR right to erasure, potential fines

Remediation:
- Implement comprehensive data deletion across all systems
- Remove or anonymize user data from logs
- Document deletion process and verify completion
- Implement data retention policies with automatic deletion

Example 2: PCI-DSS Encryption

Input:

// Storing credit card number
const cardNumber = req.body.cardNumber;
localStorage.setItem('card', cardNumber);

Expected Output:

NON-COMPLIANT: PCI-DSS Requirement 3.4
Requirement: Render PAN unreadable anywhere it is stored
Issue: Credit card number stored in plaintext in browser storage
Risk: Violation of PCI-DSS, potential data breach liability

Remediation:
- Never store full PAN in client-side storage
- Use tokenization or encryption
- Implement proper key management
- Use PCI-compliant payment processors
