General Data Protection Regulation
The GDPR governs how AI agents handle personal data of EU residents, with specific provisions for automated decision-making and data processing.
Agent-specific requirements
- Lawful basis for processing personal data (consent, legitimate interest, etc.)
- Article 22: Right not to be subject to solely automated decision-making with legal effects
- Data minimization and purpose limitation principles
- Right to explanation of automated decisions
- Data protection impact assessment (DPIA) for high-risk processing
- Data breach notification within 72 hours
- Cross-border data transfer compliance (SCCs, adequacy decisions)
How Signet scoring maps to GDPR
Signet's Security dimension tracks data handling practices critical for GDPR compliance. The audit trail supports accountability requirements. Configuration fingerprinting documents processing activities. High Security scores indicate agents with strong data protection practices.
Implementation guidance
Agents processing EU personal data should prioritize Security dimension scores above 80. Enable configuration tracking to document data processing activities as required by Article 30. Use Signet's transaction history to demonstrate purpose limitation. The agent audit trail supports DPIA documentation.
