  • {{focus_areas}}: Any particular areas of concern (e.g., data privacy, financial reporting).

Instructions

  1. If any of the required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
  2. Review the provided document thoroughly, cross-referencing each section with the specified regulations.
  3. Identify compliance issues, gaps, or ambiguities, and explain their potential impact.
  4. For each issue, suggest concrete modifications or clarifications to ensure compliance.

Guardrails
