# Compliance & Governance
 
This category demonstrates how LakeLogic acts as a **Compliance-as-Code** gate for highly regulated industries.

## Business Scenario

Organizations in Healthcare (HIPAA), Finance (FSI), and enterprise tech need to enforce strict data standards across hundreds of decentralized teams. 

## Value Proposition

- **Standardization**: Use "Policy Packs" to enforce the same SSN, Email, and Monetary rules across every contract in the organization.
- **Risk Mitigation**: Automatically detect and mask PII (Names, SSNs, Emails) using AI-driven hooks before data reached analytics layers.
- **Auditability**: Mathematically prove that data was validated, and provide a clear lineage from masked records back to raw source metadata.

## Examples

1. **[HIPAA PII Masking](./hipaa_pii_masking/tutorial_hipaa_compliance.ipynb)**
   - Demonstrates a `hipaa_compliance` policy pack.
   - Shows a Python hook using Microsoft Presidio for automated NLP PII masking.
   - Quarantines records that fail standard HIPAA validation formats.
