Learn more about our built-in compliance layer

Kadoa provides built-in compliance features such as approval flow, compliance rules, and auditing. Our compliance layer ensures that organizational guidelines and rules around data extraction are automatically enforced.

Compliance Process

Depending on your internal compliance proesses, we recommend the following controls:

• Compliance training: Ensure all authorized Kadoa users complete compliance training and understand your organization’s data sourcing policies.

• Automated compliance checks: Leverage Kadoa’s built-in compliance layer to automatically enforce restrictions.

• Regular reporting and auditing: Assign the compliance officer user role to enable regular auditing across teams.

Automated Compliance Rules

Your compliance team can configure automated checks tailored to your specific organizational requirements. Kadoa supports the following customizable compliance rules:

Rule Type	Description
Source Blacklisting	Explicitly prevent extracting or accessing prohibited sources or domains.
Captcha & Explicit TOS Enforcement	Prevent automated circumvention of explicit Terms of Service pop-ups and automated Captcha bypassing.
Sensitive Data (PII) Detection	Automatically detects attempts to extract common forms of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and can be configured to redact, flag, or block such data.
robots.txt Check	Automatically checks robots.txt directives for all web interactions, promoting ethical data sourcing from websites.
Custom Restrictions	Configure fine-grained custom restrictions.

Violations immediately trigger clear and descriptive warnings or errors, preventing accidental non-compliance.

We also allow you to add custom compliance hints/reminders on the screen where users configure a new workflow.
