Compliance Scanning ​

On every release, Shaep produces a compliance evidence pack that a Risk & Compliance / DPO reviewer can act on. Designed for GDPR Article 30 records and DPIA workflows.

How It Works ​

When code is released, the compliance scanner analyzes your codebase and produces an evidence-based report. Unlike generic compliance tools, it never invents findings — every item in the report cites the exact file and line in your code.

What It Covers ​

The scanner produces evidence for:

  • Data processing activities — What personal data your app handles and how
  • Data flows — Where data moves between components and external services
  • Storage and retention — How and where data is stored
  • Access controls — Who can access what data
  • Security measures — Technical measures protecting personal data

Configuring the Policy ​

Each app has a configurable compliance policy. Navigate to your app's compliance settings to customize what the scanner focuses on. You can provide context about:

  • Your app's data processing purposes
  • Applicable regulations (GDPR, CCPA, etc.)
  • Specific areas of concern for your DPO

Using the Evidence Pack ​

The evidence pack is designed to be handed directly to your compliance team. It provides:

  • Structured findings with file:line citations
  • Evidence-based assessment — no speculation or guesswork
  • Actionable items when changes are needed
  • Release-level tracking — each release gets its own pack

This lets your compliance team review code changes without needing to read code themselves.
