IronShard Compliance
Enterprise-Grade Assurance, Designed for AI
At IronShard, compliance isn't just a checkbox. It's the foundation of everything we do. We build our storage and data infrastructure so that organizations can deploy AI safely, transparently, and in full regulatory alignment. From model training to inference, every step is governed, auditable, and compliant.
Where We Meet the Bar
IronShard is engineered to satisfy the toughest standards across industries and geographies:
- EU AI Act, GDPR & Global AI Regulations: Full audit trails, data lineage, model explainability, and transparency baked into your workflows.
- HIPAA, GLBA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS: For healthcare, finance, government, or any domain handling sensitive data.
- Data Sovereignty & Regional Compliance: Pin, shard, or replicate data according to jurisdictional requirements. Stay local when you need to.
Our Certified Infrastructure
IronShard meets or exceeds the following benchmarks:
- Certified data centers with ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS compliance
- Encryption everywhere: at rest, in transit, during processing where possible
- Geofencing & jurisdictional control so your data stays exactly where regulation demands
- Redundancy, erasure coding, and disaster recovery built-in so compliance doesn't trade off availability
What That Means for You
| Risk Without It | IronShard Delivers |
|---|---|
| Non-compliance fines, reputation damage, legal exposure | Built-in audit logs of every dataset, model, and inference; compliance reports on demand. |
| “Black-box” models that can't be explained or certified | Full model lineage and version tracking; bias & fairness tools; enforced model governance policies. |
| Exposure due to cloud provider dependencies or data leakage | End-to-end encryption in transit and at rest; jurisdictional controls; shards and redundancy to eliminate single points of exposure. |

FAQs
Q1. How does IronShard help with EU AI Act compliance?
IronShard's storage tier provides end-to-end audit trails for every dataset, model, and inference, aligning directly with the EU AI Act's requirements for transparency, accountability, and explainability. With built-in governance tools, organizations can prove compliance without manual reporting overhead.
Q2. Is IronShard HIPAA-compliant for healthcare AI workflows?
Yes. IronShard meets HIPAA and national European standards by securing sensitive health data with end-to-end encryption, jurisdictional controls, and complete auditability. Healthcare organizations can safely train and deploy AI models while ensuring patient privacy and regulatory compliance.
Q3. What makes IronShard different from general-purpose cloud storage?
General-purpose storage wasn't designed for AI. IronShard is the first storage tier built specifically for AI readiness, with compliance, data lineage, and model auditability integrated into the core. It transforms data into a governed, auditable foundation for trusted AI adoption.
Q4. Can IronShard support financial and government compliance standards?
Absolutely. IronShard is engineered to meet GDPR, GLBA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and PCI DSS requirements. With sovereignty controls, organizations can pin data to specific jurisdictions, making it ideal for finance, government, and defense environments that require strict oversight.
Q5. How does IronShard ensure AI data privacy and sovereignty?
IronShard uses end-to-end encryption, sharding across controlled jurisdictions, and geo-pinning controls to guarantee that data stays within defined boundaries. This ensures compliance with local and international privacy laws while eliminating risks of unauthorized access.
Q6. Why is data lineage critical for AI compliance?
Without versioning and lineage, organizations can't prove which datasets trained which models—leading to compliance failures, bias risks, and irreproducible AI. IronShard automatically captures every dataset change and training event, giving organizations full control and visibility.
