Chapter 14 Privacy, Security & Compliance (Benchmark-side)


I. Chapter Purpose & Scope

privacy, security, and compliance specifications: de-identification & minimization, licensing & residency, access control & audit logging, submission workflow & artifact handling, third-party processing & cross-border transfer, incident response & governance; ensure consistency with task definitions, evaluation protocol, metric system, pipelines, and the Metrology chapter.benchmark-sideFix

II. Terminology & Dependencies

  1. Terms: data_minimization, deidentification, k_anon, ε_dp, lawful_basis, data_residency, DLP, KMS, RBAC/ABAC, mTLS, SSE-KMS, BYOK, DPAs, SCCs, incident/IRP.
  2. Dependencies: privacy & compliance (Pipeline v1.0, Ch.14), evaluation protocol (ModelCards v1.0, Ch.11), metrics & units (this volume, Ch.6), scoring gates (this volume, Ch.8), units & dimensions (Core.Metrology v1.0:check_dim).
  3. Math & symbols: wrap inline symbols; any division/integral/composite operator must use parentheses; for path quantity T_arr use
    • T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell ), or
    • T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell ),
      declaring gamma(ell) and d ell. No Chinese in formulas/symbols/definitions.
