Section 1

Executive summary

CDP Gatekeeper 6.0 is a deterministic, on-premises enforcement layer between the point where an administrative case is created and the infrastructure to which a proposed external action is sent.

Every proposed action — human- or AI-agent-initiated — is checked before it crosses the organisational boundary against the active, approved legal baseline. Execution receives a deterministic GREEN / ORANGE / RED outcome, with an immutable audit trail linking the decision to the exact law, article, rule version, relevant inputs and deterministic reasoning.

Core value and risk reduction

  • 100% on-premises and BYOK — the vendor has no visibility into or access to customer operational data, and the platform has no vendor-cloud dependency.
  • Every inbound data flow passes three Zero-Trust gates: technical validity and cyber defence, payload analysis, and legal evaluation.
  • AI agents are registered and scoped individually. Unregistered agents or requests outside delegated authority are blocked before business rules are evaluated.
  • Four-eyes rule approval prevents one person from both proposing and approving a rule change.
  • Auditors can reconstruct a decision back to the applicable law, article, rule version, inputs, fired rule/gate and deterministic reasoning.
  • Deployment is designed as a single standalone .exe, without command-line dependency and without vendor access to internal ERP, core-banking or Vault environments.

Pilot programme

A pilot runs for 60–90 days in a live, isolated workflow. Entry fee: US$10,000 or local equivalent, fully creditable against the final licence if the engagement continues. Before launch: one scope owner/contact, a limited number of anonymised real-world cases, and an agreed pilot success definition.

Architecture & technical operation

How CDP Gatekeeper 6.0 sits in the IT landscape, and how a proposed action moves through the engine.

Position within the IT landscape

The system does not replace ERP, core-banking or transport-management systems. It operates as an enforcement gateway between case preparation and external execution.

Inbound data → 314 pre-mapped Vault fields → CDP Gatekeeper 6.0 (RAM-only) → GREEN / ORANGE / RED → automated M2M dispatch.

Outbound integrations to carriers and port infrastructure are live and tested. Deeper inbound ERP/banking integrations beyond folder-drop or WhatsApp/Twilio intake are customer-specific scope and additional work. CDP does not access the customer ERP or internal Vault.

The three Zero-Trust gates

1
TECHNICAL VALIDITY & CYBER DEFENCE

Checks corrupted data, format deviations, active manipulation and code-injection indicators.

2
PAYLOAD ANALYSIS

Checks the semantic transaction layer for logical conflicts and structural contamination.

3
LEGAL EVALUATION

Links the verified dataset to the active legal baseline and assigns GREEN / ORANGE / RED.

Fail-fast

If Gate 1 fails, ingestion stops immediately and the data never reaches the legal evaluation layer.

Runtime, cryptography and isolation

  • AES-256 for data at rest; M2M for data in transit; SHA-256 hash-chained audit ledger. Cryptographic assets and integration keys are OS-isolated with 0600 permissions.
  • The master-admin credential is generated once at first initialisation. There are no default or factory credentials.
  • Core processing is stateless and RAM-only; session memory is cleared after dispatch.
  • Local OCR/document processing uses Ollama/LLaVA. A cloud-OCR route may exist but is disabled by default and opt-in only. CPU-only operation remains architecturally possible; a local GPU is optional for higher throughput.

AI-agent identity and delegated authority

  • Every AI agent or automated process must be registered with a secret credential and explicit delegated scope. A suspect agent can be isolated independently without stopping other agents or the whole platform.
  • A system-wide emergency stop blocks state-changing requests while read-only audit environments remain operational.

Section 3

Governance, regulatory drift & audit

Rule changes are always human-reviewed and four-eyes approved — the engine never guesses at the law.

Rule governance

Daily transactions run autonomously against the active legal baseline. Human four-eyes approval is mandatory when the baseline hash itself changes.

The engine never rewrites its own parsing logic automatically. A detected legislative change places the affected processing in a controlled queue until an authorised compliance specialist has approved the change.

Official statutory texts are fetched read-only for drift detection. Fetched text can update only a human-reviewed, four-eyes-approved rule baseline.

Continuous regulatory anchoring

The engine performs read-only pulls of statutory sources to detect drift against configured legal baselines. The current coverage spans nine regulations across five jurisdictions: EU coverage including CBAM, EUDR, REACH, ADR, EC 561/2006 and two low-value-shipment/PID regulations, plus the Netherlands and Indonesia. Five additional customer-configurable jurisdiction slots are available.

No AI guesswork on the law

Unlike generic AI tools that allow a language model to infer, paraphrase or fill gaps in regulatory text, CDP Gatekeeper 6.0 does not enforce a model’s guess at what the law might mean. Fetched legal text updates only a human-reviewed, four-eyes-approved rule baseline; the engine enforces that approved baseline.

Roadmap principle: as authenticated, structured machine-to-machine regulatory interfaces mature across the industry, the human-in-the-loop step may evolve. The platform is designed so that no rule change is enforced without an unambiguous, verifiable source. The active mode for each rule will always be explicit: human-reviewed today, and only machine-verified later where the source itself is trustworthy and auditable.

Traceability and reporting

Every decision links the exact law, article, rule version, relevant inputs and deterministic reasoning. A read-only audit view provides independent, role-bound access for auditors, compliance officers and CISO functions.

The Board & Regulator Reporting Suite provides aggregated statistics, a legislative time capsule and one-click PDF export from the same verified evidence layer. The time capsule preserves which rule version was active at the moment of a decision.

Security boundaries

No vendor cloud access, no phone-home/central telemetry and no remote recovery master key. External BYOK integration keys can be individually revoked by the customer through a wipe action; this does not affect admin, compliance or auditor credentials.

External lookups such as statutory sources are one-way and read-only. Internal business data does not leave the on-premises perimeter.

Section 4

Sectoral operational branches

One core engine, with sector branches that use separate operational dashboards and modules.

TRANSPORT & TRADE
  • EUDR evidence uses GPS coordinates in GeoJSON (WGS-84, six decimal places). Missing data can be followed by warnings; an unresolved deficiency at T-24h creates a hard RED block.
  • Native routing can connect to Portbase, NxtPort, INSW, SARS and TradeNet, with five free Custom Port slots for customer-specific endpoints.
  • Verified GREEN transactions can be dispatched M2M to carriers such as Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, Hapag-Lloyd and ONE, including the SHA-256 compliance hash.
  • Product labelling covers relevant EU FIC, CE-marking documentation and PPWR checks. Antidumping is detected as a signal, not a final determination.
  • Additional transport controls: ISO 6346 container check-digit validation, port pick-up authorisation (PIN/EIR), separate tractor/trailer identification, and driver-ID verification using licence number.
  • A document-grouping engine can propose links between independently received documents; merging always requires explicit human confirmation.
BANKING & FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE
  • The banking branch covers the KYC/AML chain: identification, geographic/product risk, sanctions/PEP/adverse-media screening, risk scoring, purpose and nature of the relationship, UBO, EDD, transaction monitoring and final classification.
  • Confirmed sanctions hits receive priority and can route the final status directly to REJECTED_SANCTIONS. Structuring/smurfing is assessed over accumulated customer transaction history, with suspicious movements held for review.
  • STR/SAR deadlines are calculated automatically, including the 30/60-day logic. Anti-tipping-off isolation prevents sensitive filing information from leaking into customer-facing screens.
  • Entity resolution treats only an official registration-number match as certain; name-based matches remain subject to human confirmation. The architecture is currency-agnostic and prepared for CBDC and digital-currency formats.
HEAVY INDUSTRY & ESG
  • CBAM coverage spans the six relevant sectors: iron & steel, cement, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen. Exception filtering prevents excluded goods from being unnecessarily held or assessed.
  • A cumulative volume meter monitors the 50-tonne de-minimis threshold and evaluates relevant EU shipments during document processing.
CONSTRUCTION
  • The construction branch distinguishes site_country from contractor_home_country, so execution location and contractor-origin requirements are not conflated.
  • G-account/escrow controls and certified insurer/assurer checks support chain liability. WhatsApp/Twilio can ingest photos and milestone data; out-of-sequence submissions can be blocked and flagged.
  • Critical boundary: the system never calculates a payment amount itself. It verifies process only — who submitted, who certified, and whether the two match.
FRAUD & FORENSIC RISK
  • IAIS-based pattern recognition, internal-fraud monitoring and a cross-referenced incident database support name- and ID-matching at the perimeter.
  • Where money-laundering suspicion arises, the same STR/SAR deadline logic can support the relevant filing workflow, separately from the banking operational stream.

Section 5

Compliance coverage

What the engine checks proposed actions against, by regulatory area.

  • AI Governance — EU AI Act, Article 14 — human oversight and the system-wide emergency stop.
  • Data Protection — Indonesia — UU PDP / PP 33/2026: Articles 93–95 for objection rights concerning automated AI decisions, Article 94(2) for an explanation duty, Article 120(2)(f) for DPIA triggers involving AI/ML/IoT, and Article 9(h) for documentation completeness. These provisions are expected to be in force in mid-January 2027.
  • Trade & Transport — EUDR (EU Deforestation Regulation) — GPS/GeoJSON evidence requirement.
  • Product Labelling — EU FIC (food labelling), CE-marking documentation and PPWR packaging declarations.
  • Trade Defence — EU antidumping measures — signal detection, not final determination.
  • Climate / ESG — CBAM — Regulation (EU) 2023/956, Annex I, covering six sectors, plus Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 and the 50-tonne de-minimis threshold.
  • Banking / AML — Sanctions and PEP screening, structuring/smurfing detection, STR/SAR deadlines, and FATF Recommendation 16 / payment-data completeness.
  • Fraud & Forensic Risk — IAIS-aligned insurance-fraud pattern monitoring and cross-referenced incident handling.
  • Construction — Dutch regulatory framework for blocked G-Accounts and Consequence Class 1/2/3 liability.

Coverage note

This describes what the engine checks proposed actions against. It is not a claim of external certification or a formal compliance seal. The engine enforces only a human-approved legal baseline.

Jurisdiction expansion and lookup capacity

Five free customer-configurable jurisdiction slots are available without changing the core architecture. Five additional UBO lookup slots are available for external ownership checks beyond the built-in coverage.

Section 6

Problems solved & architectural boundaries

What the platform fixes, and where its boundaries are drawn on purpose.

Problems solved

  • “Checkbox compliance” without evidence → every decision gets an immutable trail linking it to the exact article, rule version and reasoning, not only the outcome.
  • Data leaving the perimeter to a vendor cloud → 100% on-premises, BYOK and zero vendor access.
  • Unverified AI agents proposing actions → identity and delegated scope are checked before any business rule is evaluated.
  • Slow, expensive IT integration → 314 pre-mapped Vault fields and a single-exe deployment reduce the need for multi-year platform overhauls.
  • Missed deadlines and fines → T-24h EUDR hard block, automatic STR/SAR deadline calculation and CBAM threshold monitoring.
  • Regulation changing silently → drift detection with mandatory human sign-off; never an automatic rewrite of parsing logic.
  • Single points of control → four-eyes enforcement prevents one person from both proposing and approving a rule.
  • Stuck external credentials after a leak → client-revocable BYOK integration keys scoped only to the affected key.

Architectural boundaries

  • The customer controls the Vault, cryptographic keys, local integrations and activation of prepared external connectors.
  • The production interface supports NL / EN / DE / CN / ID; the contextual internal documentation vault supports NL / EN / ID.
  • No remote access to ERP, core banking or internal Vault content; no vendor access to customer data; no hidden backdoor; no central telemetry.
  • No automatic rewriting of legal parsing logic after a legislative change, and no guessing of missing legal values or payment amounts when source/configuration is unavailable.
  • A stale-cache safeguard can flag a risk matrix that has not been verified for more than 120 days.
  • External legal lookups are read-only and one-way. Internal data remains inside the perimeter. Outbound GREEN data is ephemeral M2M; there is no permanent shared vendor database.
  • The customer activates pre-engineered connectors. Optional cloud OCR is opt-in only.

Honest scope

Outbound dispatch is a live, tested integration today. Deep inbound ERP/banking plug-ins beyond folder-drop/WhatsApp/Twilio intake are scoped per customer and require additional work.

Section 7

ROI & financial justification

Where the platform pays for itself — as shared infrastructure and per sector.

Universal infrastructure ROI

  • Implementation bleed reduction — 314 standardised Vault keys plus a single-click .exe are designed to reduce implementation and consultancy overhead by allowing internal IT to integrate in-house.
  • Administrative throughput multiplier — multi-threaded document processing targets an estimated 75–85% reduction in manual document-processing labour.
  • Hardware procurement symmetry — a one-time local GPU cost, typically a few thousand euros, is minor relative to the potential exposure from asset seizure, shutdown or a single regulatory fine. CPU-only operation remains possible.
  • Zero-downtime regulatory adaptation — legislative changes are handled through decoupled configuration layers, avoiding classical application re-engineering for each rule update.

Sector ROI

  • Transport & Trade — T-24h hard blocks help avoid port storage, demurrage and delay costs; direct M2M can reduce clearing-agent dependency. ISO 6346, PIN/EIR, tractor/trailer and driver-ID checks add operational control.
  • Banking — automated sanctions and structuring detection helps reduce exposure to forfeitures, penalties and licence risk.
  • Heavy Industry & ESG — automated emissions and de-minimis tracking supports avoidance of administrative penalties and asset risk.
  • Construction — controlled G-account and liability workflows reduce seizure and stop-work exposure.
  • Fraud & Forensic Risk — perimeter pattern detection can reduce fraudulent payouts and external forensic-audit overhead.

Section 8

CISO & auditor FAQ

The questions CISOs and auditors ask first, answered directly.

Q
HOW IS THE PLATFORM STRUCTURED BY SECTOR?

One core engine carries cryptography, execution, ledger and security controls. Sector branches use separate operational dashboards and modules.

Q
DOES OPERATIONAL DATA REACH A VENDOR CLOUD?

No. The platform is 100% on-premises. External statutory lookups are read-only and do not transmit internal business data.

Q
WHO MANAGES ERP OR CORE-BANKING INTEGRATION?

The customer owns and builds that integration. CDP provides the Vault specification and does not access internal systems.

Q
ARE THERE DEFAULT ADMIN PASSWORDS?

No. The master-admin credential is generated once during first initialisation.

Q
HOW IS AN AI AGENT STOPPED?

Registration, identity and delegated scope are checked before evaluation. A suspect agent can be isolated independently, and the system-wide emergency stop can block state-changing requests.

Q
CAN AN AUDITOR FULLY RECONSTRUCT A DECISION?

Yes. Law, article, rule version, inputs, fired rule/gate, deterministic reasoning and outcome are made available together.

Q
CAN COMPLIANCE, AUDIT AND CISO FUNCTIONS WORK INDEPENDENTLY?

Yes. Role-bound credentials are separately validated and the audit view remains read-only.

Q
CAN A LEAKED EXTERNAL INTEGRATION KEY BE REVOKED INDEPENDENTLY?

Yes. Only the affected external BYOK key is wiped; core credentials and the audit ledger remain intact.

Q
IS THE CRYPTOGRAPHY POST-QUANTUM?

AES-256 and SHA-256 provide a substantial security margin against known quantum-acceleration concerns, but this is not the same as a dedicated NIST post-quantum cryptography implementation.

Section 9 · Pilot & next step

Ready for a controlled pilot?

A pilot runs for 60–90 days in a live, isolated workflow. Entry fee: US$10,000 or local equivalent, fully creditable against the final licence if the engagement continues.

Required before launch: one scope owner/contact, a limited number of anonymised cases, and an agreed success definition. The pilot is designed to validate the enforcement workflow, evidence trail, sector branch behaviour and integration boundaries before any long-term structural commitment.

The platform is designed to make the active legal baseline, enforcement status and audit evidence explicit at the moment an action is evaluated.
