Compliance Frameworks

Specify compliance frameworks to automatically enable required checks:

{
  preset: 'customer-support',
  comply: ['GDPR', 'SOC2', 'HIPAA']
}

Supported Frameworks

Framework	Description	Automatically Enables
`GDPR`	EU data protection	PII detection, data minimization, consent tracking
`CCPA`	California privacy	PII detection, data rights, opt-out mechanisms
`HIPAA`	US healthcare data	Health data detection, access controls, audit logs
`SOC2`	Security & availability	Security audit, access controls, monitoring
`ISO_27001`	Information security	Security audit, risk management, incident response
`EU_AI_ACT`	EU AI regulation	Bias detection, transparency, human oversight
`FINRA`	US financial services	Financial compliance, record keeping, supervision
`PCI_DSS`	Payment card security	Security audit, encryption, access controls
`NIST_AI_RMF`	AI risk management	Risk assessment, bias detection, transparency
`FCA`	UK financial conduct	Financial compliance, consumer protection
`PDPA`	Singapore data protection	PII detection, consent, data rights
`PIPEDA`	Canada privacy	PII detection, consent, accountability
`UK_DPA_2018`	UK data protection	PII detection, data rights, lawful basis

Combining Presets and Frameworks

Presets and frameworks work together to provide comprehensive coverage:

import { continum } from '@continum/sdk';

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset: 'fintech-ai',           // Base detection types
  comply: ['FINRA', 'SOC2']       // Additional compliance checks
});

This configuration will enable:

All checks from fintech-ai preset
Additional checks required by FINRA and SOC2

Custom Detection Types

For advanced use cases, you can specify detection types directly:

import { continum } from '@continum/sdk';

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  sandbox: {
    types: [
      'PII_DETECTION',
      'SECURITY_AUDIT',
      'PROMPT_INJECTION',
      'CUSTOM'
    ],
    customRules: ['CUSTOM_RULE_1', 'CUSTOM_RULE_2']
  }
});

Available detection types:

PII_DETECTION - Personal information
BIAS_DETECTION - Discrimination and bias
SECURITY_AUDIT - Code injection, vulnerabilities
PROMPT_INJECTION - Jailbreaks, goal hijacking
DATA_EXFILTRATION - Data leaks, cross-user leaks
AGENT_SAFETY - Irreversible actions, scope creep
HALLUCINATION_DETECTION - False information
CONTENT_POLICY - Harmful content
FINANCIAL_COMPLIANCE - Financial regulations
LEGAL_COMPLIANCE - Legal requirements
MULTI_TURN_ATTACK - Multi-step attacks
SUPPLY_CHAIN_INTEGRITY - Dependency security
FULL_SPECTRUM - All detection types
CUSTOM - Custom rules

Environment-Specific Configuration

Use different presets for different environments:

import { continum } from '@continum/sdk';

const preset = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
  ? 'customer-support'
  : 'internal-tool';

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset,
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV as 'production' | 'staging' | 'development'
});

Best Practices

1. Start with a Preset

Always start with a preset that matches your use case:

// ✅ Good
{ preset: 'customer-support', comply: ['GDPR'] }

// ❌ Avoid (unless you have specific requirements)
{ sandbox: { types: ['PII_DETECTION', 'BIAS_DETECTION', ...] } }

2. Add Compliance Frameworks

Specify all applicable frameworks:

{
  preset: 'healthcare-ai',
  comply: ['HIPAA', 'GDPR', 'SOC2']
}

3. Use Environment Variables

Keep configuration flexible:

const frameworks = process.env.COMPLIANCE_FRAMEWORKS?.split(',') || [];

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset: 'customer-support',
  comply: frameworks as ComplianceFramework[]
});

4. Use Environment Variables

Keep configuration flexible:

const frameworks = process.env.COMPLIANCE_FRAMEWORKS?.split(',') || [];

continum.configure({
  apiKey: process.env.CONTINUM_API_KEY!,
  preset: 'customer-support',
  comply: frameworks as ComplianceFramework[]
});
