Compliance by Construction

Compliance is a receipt property, not a checklist.

Hive doesn't bolt compliance on. The receipt itself — every receipt — is shaped to satisfy eIDAS 2.0, ALCOA+, FSMA-204, NIST AI RMF, and the EU AI Act. Auditors get evidence in the form they already accept.

Three properties, baked in.

Frameworks evolve. Audit standards shift. The receipt envelope is shaped once, against the union of every regime that applies to a regulated workload — so the same receipt clears every audit.

eIDAS 2.0

Qualified electronic signature (QES) shape. Trust service provider attestation path. Annex IV alignment for cross-border legal effect.

ALCOA+

Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, Accurate — plus Complete, Consistent, Enduring, Available. Baked into the receipt envelope.

EU AI Act

Article 12 logging, Article 14 human oversight markers, Article 26 record-keeping. All in one receipt.

Six frameworks, one envelope.

Each Hive receipt carries the fields needed to satisfy multiple regimes at once. Auditors don't translate — the receipt already speaks their language.

eIDAS 2.0EU · cross-border
QES signature shape, trust service provider attestation, qualified timestamp, signer DID resolution path. Designed against Annex IV.
ALCOA+FDA · pharma
Audit trail, custody chain, contemporaneous timestamps, immutable origin, accuracy markers. Receipt is the data integrity record.
FSMA-204FDA · food traceability
Cargo lineage, critical-tracking-event tags, key-data-element fields, traceability-lot codes embedded in the receipt body.
NIST AI RMFUS · AI governance
Govern / Map / Measure / Manage tags, model card reference, risk-tier marker, human-oversight checkpoint references.
GDPREU · privacy
Controller DID, lawful-basis field, data-subject reference (pseudonymized), retention horizon, processor chain attestation.
HIPAAUS · healthcare
PHI-safe receipt mode — protected health information stays out of the envelope, only its hash and access attestation are signed.

What it looks like.

A single receipt declaring every regime it satisfies. Auditors verify the alignment list against the receipt body and the published Hive schema.
