README

Turn your Laravel audit logs into signed, PII-redacted, regulator-ready compliance reports — GDPR DSARs, SOC 2 evidence, HIPAA exports — that an auditor can prove were never tampered with.

Every serious app logs activity. But when a regulator or auditor comes knocking — "give this EU user all their data" (GDPR), "prove who accessed this record" (SOC 2 / HIPAA) — there's a painful gap between a raw activity_log row and a signed, redacted, regulation-shaped document. Teams either build it by hand every time or pay Drata / Vanta.

Compliance Export closes that gap in one call: it pulls a subject's audit trail from your existing sources, redacts the PII, and seals the result with a tamper-evident hash chain + signature.

Features

🧾 Regulator-ready exports — one report per data subject, as JSON or CSV (GDPR DSAR style)
🛡️ Tamper-evident — a SHA-256 hash chain sealed with an HMAC signature; verify() fails if a single record changed
🙈 PII redaction engine — declarative, field-based rules (email, partial, hash, mask, redact)
🔌 Source adapters, zero hard deps — reads from spatie/laravel-activitylog and mohammed94/ai-ledger when present, or any array/custom Source
🧰 Artisan command — php artisan compliance:export user:123 --regulation=gdpr

Installation

composer require mohammed94/compliance-export
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=compliance-export-config

Set a stable signing key in .env:

COMPLIANCE_SIGNING_KEY=base64:your-long-random-secret

Usage

Generate a report

use Mohammed94\ComplianceExport\Facades\Compliance;

$report = Compliance::for(subject: 'user:123', regulation: 'gdpr')
    ->from($source)        // a Source, or a raw array of records
    ->generate();

$report->toJson();              // manifest + redacted records + cryptographic proof
$report->toCsv();               // DSAR-friendly spreadsheet
$report->save(storage_path('app/compliance/user-123.json'));

Prove it wasn't tampered with

Compliance::verify($report);   // true — recomputes the hash chain + signature
// change any record after the fact → verify() returns false

From the command line

php artisan compliance:export user:123 --regulation=gdpr --source=activitylog --format=csv

Redaction

PII is redacted by configurable, field-name rules (see config/compliance-export.php):

'rules' => [
    'email'    => 'email',    // john.doe@x.com → j***@x.com
    'phone'    => 'partial',  // +9647701234567 → **********4567
    'national_id' => 'hash',  // → sha256:1f3a...
    'password' => 'redact',   // → [REDACTED]
],

Add one-off rules per export with ->redact(['notes' => 'mask']).

How the proof works

Records are folded into a SHA-256 hash chain (each hash includes the previous one), then the manifest + chain are signed with HMAC-SHA256 using your secret key. The signature is embedded in the report. Re-running verify() recomputes everything from the records present — so adding, removing or editing any record breaks the seal. An auditor can trust the export reflects exactly what was issued.

Roadmap

#[Redact] PHP attributes on Eloquent models
SOC 2 (JSON-LD) and HIPAA (FHIR) formatters
Control-attestation table (which control was active, who approved access)
Livewire dashboard for previewing & issuing exports
Asymmetric (Ed25519) signatures for third-party verification
