Most platforms bolt on compliance after the fact. Kura's architecture provides the technical controls that regulations demand — immutability, encryption, verifiability, and chain of custody — by default.
Every Kura record is built on four architectural properties that map directly to what compliance frameworks require.
Your actual media files are stored across Kura's decentralised infrastructure — not on a traditional cloud server. Once stored, records cannot be altered, deleted, or backdated by anyone, including Kura.
Anyone can independently verify a record's authenticity through a one-click public verification link. No account, software, or trust in Kura required.
Media is encrypted client-side using vetKeys threshold encryption before it ever leaves the device. The encrypted file is then stored on Kura's decentralised infrastructure — not on a third-party server. Not even Kura can access the plaintext.
A cryptographic audit trail tracks every action — capture, upload, access, share — with identity-linked timestamps. The chain is unbreakable and independently auditable.
Kura's technical controls address regulatory requirements across 30+ countries — from GDPR in Europe to PDPA in Thailand to DPDP in India. One platform, global compliance coverage.
| Regulation | Region | Reference | Requirement | How Kura's Architecture Addresses This |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GDPR | EU | Art. 17 | Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") | Kura supports erasure through crypto-shredding — destroying the encryption key renders stored data permanently inaccessible. The blockchain anchor (hash only) contains no personal data. This is the approach recognised by privacy professionals for immutable storage systems. |
| GDPR | EU | Art. 25 | Data protection by design and by default | Technical controls enable privacy by design: client-side vetKeys encryption ensures data is protected before it enters the system, not after. |
| HIPAA | US | §164.312 | Technical safeguards for electronic protected health information | Architecture aligns with HIPAA technical safeguard requirements: end-to-end encryption, access controls, and immutable audit logs for all data interactions. |
| FRE | US | Rule 901(a) | Authentication of evidence — proof that evidence is what it claims to be | Kura provides cryptographic proof of authenticity: SHA-256 hash, blockchain timestamp, identity-linked capture, and an unbroken chain of custody from moment of capture. |
| FRE | US | Rules 1001-1004 | Best evidence rule — original or reliable duplicate required | Kura provides the cryptographic original: the blockchain-anchored hash proves bit-for-bit integrity. The verification link lets any party confirm the record is unmodified. |
| eIDAS | EU | Art. 41 | Legal effect of electronic timestamps | Kura implements blockchain consensus timestamps that provide independent, tamper-proof time attestation — meeting the technical requirements for qualified electronic timestamps. |
| SOC 2 | US | CC6.1 | Logical and physical access controls | Architecture supports SOC 2 control objectives: principal-based access control, encrypted storage, and cryptographic audit trails for every data access event. |
| ISO 27001 | Global | A.12 | Operations security — logging and monitoring | Architecture aligns with ISO 27001 operational security controls: immutable on-chain audit logs, automated integrity verification, and tamper-evident record keeping. |
| CCPA | US (CA) | §1798.105 | Right to deletion of personal information | Kura's architecture supports deletion through crypto-shredding — destroying the encryption key renders stored data permanently inaccessible while preserving non-personal blockchain anchors. |
| FADP | Switzerland | Art. 6 | Data protection principles including data minimization | Technical controls enable data minimization: only cryptographic hashes are stored on-chain; encrypted media is stored separately with granular access controls. |
| NIST 800-53 | US | AU-10 | Non-repudiation — protection against false denial of actions | Architecture aligns with NIST non-repudiation controls: identity-linked captures, cryptographic signatures, and immutable blockchain records prevent denial of evidence creation. |
| PIPEDA | Canada | Principle 7 | Safeguards — security appropriate to sensitivity of data | Kura's architecture supports PIPEDA safeguard requirements: threshold encryption, blockchain immutability, and identity verification proportionate to data sensitivity. |
| C2PA | Global | Spec 1.x | Content provenance and authenticity standard | Kura implements provenance tracking that exceeds C2PA requirements: cryptographic hashing, identity binding, immutable timestamps, and a publicly verifiable audit trail. |
| IPTC | Global | Photo Metadata | Standardized metadata for media identification and rights | Kura implements structured metadata capture: identity, timestamp, claimed GPS, device info, and cryptographic signatures — all anchored to an immutable record. |
| EXIF Integrity | Global | N/A | Protection against metadata tampering | Kura provides EXIF integrity by design: metadata is captured at the moment of recording and hashed into the blockchain anchor, making post-capture tampering cryptographically detectable. |
| PDPA | Thailand | Sec. 37 | Data protection and right to erasure | Kura's architecture supports PDPA requirements through crypto-shredding for erasure, client-side encryption for data protection, and immutable audit logs for accountability. |
| DPDP Act | India | Sec. 8-12 | Obligations of data fiduciaries including security safeguards | Architecture supports DPDP security obligations: threshold encryption, decentralised storage with no single-provider dependency, and granular consent-based access controls. |
| PDPL | Vietnam | Art. 26 | Data protection and processing requirements | Technical controls support PDPL requirements: encrypted storage, identity-verified access, and crypto-shredding for data deletion requests. |
| PDP Law | Indonesia | Art. 16 | Personal data protection and security measures | Architecture supports PDP Law safeguard requirements: end-to-end encryption, immutable audit trails, and decentralised storage that eliminates single-provider risk. |
| PDPL | Saudi Arabia | Art. 10 | Data security and protection obligations | Kura's architecture supports PDPL security requirements: client-side encryption before storage, cryptographic access controls, and tamper-evident record keeping. |
| PDPL | UAE | Art. 28 | Technical and organisational security measures | Architecture supports UAE PDPL through threshold encryption, decentralised infrastructure with no single point of compromise, and immutable audit logs. |
| EU e-Evidence Reg. | EU | 2023/1543 | Cross-border electronic evidence preservation and production (effective Aug 2026) | Kura provides tamper-proof evidence preservation with cryptographic chain of custody — directly addressing e-Evidence requirements for cross-border digital evidence integrity. |
| EU AI Act | EU | Art. 50 | Transparency obligations for AI-generated content (effective Aug 2026) | Kura provides provenance proof that media is human-captured, not AI-generated — addressing AI Act transparency requirements with cryptographic identity binding and capture-time verification. |
| ISO 27037 | Global | Sec. 7 | Guidelines for identification, collection, and preservation of digital evidence | Kura implements ISO 27037 principles: evidence integrity through cryptographic hashing, documented chain of custody, identity-linked capture, and tamper-evident storage. |
Kura provides technical controls that support regulatory compliance. Organizational compliance — policies, audits, and data processing agreements — remains the responsibility of each deploying organization.
Kura's architecture addresses technical requirements across major regulatory jurisdictions.
Most compliance programs rely on policies that people promise to follow. Kura enforces controls at the architecture level.
