Bidda is the world's first source-verified, cryptographically-signed compliance intelligence registry. 10065 regulatory frameworks across 39 sovereign pillars, including EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, Basel III, HIPAA, DORA, and 150+ others, distilled into machine-executable logic at $0.01 per node.

How does Bidda reduce AI hallucination in compliance?

Every Bidda node is generated from and verified against its primary legal source, meaning the actual legislation, standard, or regulatory instrument. Each node carries a SHA-256 integrity hash and passes a 13-point validation gate and human review before publishing. No secondary commentary. No AI inference without a regulatory anchor.

What does it cost to access Bidda compliance nodes?

$0.01 USDC per full node unlock via Skyfire bearer token, Direct Base USDC, or L402/USDC on Base. The discovery API is free. Pillar bundles are one-time frozen snapshots ranging from $5 (Workflow) to $49 (Cybersecurity / Legal / Finance). A MITRE Frameworks cross-cut bundle (ATT&CK + ATLAS + D3FEND + CAPEC, 204 nodes) is $29. Full registry: enterprise plans only (info@bidda.com). Card checkout via Paystack is coming soon; until live, fiat purchases are invoiced on request.

Which regulations does Bidda cover?

10065 nodes across 39 sovereign pillars, covering EU AI Act, GDPR, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, Basel III/IV, HIPAA, DORA, NIS2, FATF, MiCA, TCFD, SOC 2, ITAR, IMO MARPOL, Solvency II, OECD BEPS Pillar Two, and 150+ other global regulatory frameworks.

Is there a free tool to scan my AI agent code for compliance issues?

Yes. The Bidda Agent Compliance Scanner is a free GitHub Action that scans your PR diffs for AI agent code patterns (LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, MCP tool definitions, biometric identification, credit decisioning, HR screening, DORA ICT dependencies) and posts an advisory PR comment linking the relevant compliance nodes from the Bidda registry. It never blocks PRs. Install with: uses: Bidda-Ai/agent-compliance-scanner@v0. Available at https://bidda.com/developers - also distributed as the bidda-shield Python SDK (pip install bidda-shield) and as an MCP server at https://bidda.com/mcp for AI agents.

Does the Bidda compliance scanner send my code to external servers?

No. All pattern matching runs locally on your GitHub-hosted runner. The scanner only sends a pattern_id (e.g. 'langchain-import') to query Bidda's public discovery index. Your code, prompts, diffs, and repo contents never leave your runner. The PR comment is posted using your workflow's built-in GITHUB_TOKEN.

Compliance Node Overview

The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) Data Protection Law 2020 (DIFC Law No. 5 of 2020), enacted on 1 July 2020 and commencing on 1 October 2020, is the data protection framework governing personal data processing within the DIFC, which is a designated free zone in Dubai with its own independent legal and regulatory system based on common law principles. DIFC Law No. 5 of 2020 replaced the earlier DIFC Data Protection Law 2007 (DIFC Law No. 1 of 2007) and is specifically designed to align with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) framework, making the DIFC one of the most GDPR-compatible jurisdictions in the Middle East and Africa region. The DIFC is a major international financial centre - home to over 5,000 registered companies including many of the world's largest banks, asset managers, law firms, and professional services firms. The enforcement authority for the DIFC Data Protection Law 2020 is the Commissioner of Data Protection (CDP), who is appointed by the DIFC Authority (DIFCA). The Commissioner investigates complaints, conducts audits, issues enforcement notices, and imposes fines. Key features of DIFC Law No. 5 of 2020: (1) Controllers and processors - GDPR-aligned controller/processor framework; (2) Six lawful bases for processing: consent, contract, legal obligation, vital interests, public task, and legitimate interests; (3) Special categories of personal data: race or ethnic origin, political opinion, religious or philosophical belief, trade union membership, physical or mental health, sexual life or orientation, biometric data used for identification, criminal convictions or allegations - processed only with explicit consent or in limited exceptions; (4) Data subject rights: access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction, objection, and rights related to automated decision-making - aligned with GDPR Arts. 15-22; (5) Data Protection Officer (DPO): required where processing poses high risk to data subjects - controllers must assess DPO need based on processing profile; (6) Personal data breach notification: notify the CDP within 72 hours; notify affected data subjects without undue delay for high-risk breaches; (7) Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA): required for high-risk processing; (8) Cross-border data transfer: transfers only to adequate jurisdictions or with appropriate safeguards; the DIFC CDP maintains a list of adequate jurisdictions; (9) Fines: up to USD 100,000 per violation; (10) Privacy notices must be provided before collection in English (and Arabic where appropriate). The DIFC is a separate legal jurisdiction from mainland UAE - DIFC law applies to entities registered in the DIFC; mainland UAE entities are subject to the UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on Personal Data Protection (Federal PDPL). DIFC entities transferring data to mainland UAE entities must consider both DIFC and Federal PDPL requirements.
