#Regulation
Regulatory requirements shape the technical architecture of healthcare and financial systems. These posts cover the 21st Century Cures Act CDS carve-out, HIPAA technical safeguards, and the approach of encoding regulatory obligations directly as code-level constraints.

The EU AI Act is the world's first comprehensive AI law, and for engineers it is neither as scary nor as vague as it first appears. Underneath the legal language is a risk-based structure that translates into a concrete checklist of engineering obligations — and most of them are things a good governance program (this series) already does. This post is about reading the Act the way an engineer should: not as compliance theater, but as a specification of controls you can implement.
The EU AI Act is risk-based, so your first job is classification — then the high-risk obligations translate into a concrete checklist most mature governance already does: risk management, data governance, documentation, logging, human oversight, robustness, conformity assessment. Read the law as a specification of controls, not compliance theater.
How an engineer should read AI regulation without a law degree — what the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42001, the NIST AI RMF, and sector rules actually ask for, and how each obligation maps to a control or artifact your pipeline can already produce.
Orient in AI regulation and translate it into controls (not legal advice): the EU AI Act's risk tiers and obligations, ISO/IEC 42001 as a certifiable AI management system, NIST AI RMF, and a crosswalk mapping each obligation to the artifact that satisfies it.
How the two Basel liquidity ratios are computed from raw positions, and why the hard part is a data pipeline, not a formula.
How the Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Net Stable Funding Ratio are computed: HQLA classification, outflow factors, and the reporting pipeline.
How a trade turns into a regulator-ready report — eligibility, enrichment, validation, submission, and the break management loop that keeps you compliant.
The trade/transaction reporting pipeline: eligibility, enrichment (LEI/UPI/UTI), validation, submission to the ARM/TR, and break management.
Deciding low-value, TRA, and trusted-beneficiary exemptions so low-risk payments stay frictionless while genuine risk gets challenged via 3DS.
Decide PSD2 SCA exemptions (low-value, TRA, allowlist) to keep low-risk payments frictionless around 3DS.
Turn ICT asset and third-party risk, incident classification, and reporting into a system you can actually run — with a resilience-testing loop that keeps it honest.
Engineer DORA operational resilience: ICT asset/third-party risk, incident classification, reporting, and resilience testing.
Classify account tax residency and generate withholding and FATCA/CRS reporting files.
Classify account tax residency and generate withholding and FATCA/CRS reporting files.
How to build PSD2-grade open-banking APIs — strong customer authentication and its exemptions, the consent grant and its revocation, and the hard boundary between account-information and payment-initiation scopes.
Teaches how to build open-banking APIs: strong customer authentication and exemptions, consent grant/lifecycle, account-information vs payment-initiation scopes, and TPP authorization with token/consent revocation.
How to turn a book of exposures into risk-weighted assets and a capital ratio with a deterministic, auditable pipeline
Teaches the engineering of a risk-weighted-asset calculator: exposure classification, risk-weight lookup (standardized approach), credit-conversion factors for off-balance items, and capital-ratio aggregation for regulatory reporting.
The 21st Century Cures Act §3060 CDS carve-out criterion 4 expressed as a code-level queue, lossless on reject, with audit-recorded reviewer rationale. Build it once, satisfy GDPR Article 22 for free.
