Sectors

18 sectors with their profile bundles.

Pick the sector you operate in. The profiles you need are listed below it. Adopt only those; Core handles the rest.

Retail & commercial banking

PSD3, FFIEC, RBI, MAS, CRR3 — agent and employee actions need a payment authority chain, not an OAuth token.

SOC 2 · ISO 27001 · PCI DSS 4.0 · PSD2/3 · DORA · NIS2

Payments & cards

Per-currency, per-rail, per-amount sPDP gating; signed proof bundles per authorise; ISO 20022 alignment in the high-assurance overlay.

PCI DSS 4.0 · PSD2/3 · DORA

Healthcare & life sciences

HIPAA wants the consent chain. The hospital wants the redaction trace. The patient wants their AI not to leak their record.

HIPAA · ISO 27001 · EU AI Act

Insurance & underwriting

Underwriting agents pull data and price risk. Regulators need the data-source authority and the consent the customer gave.

SOC 2 · ISO 27001 · GDPR · EU AI Act

Marketplaces & platforms

Sellers, agents acting for sellers, model-trained tools acting for both. Disputes need the chain, not chat logs.

SOC 2 · ISO 27001 · GDPR

Defence

Mission authority, command-chain audit for autonomous and semi-autonomous systems — rules of engagement attached to every action.

NIST 800-207 · FedRAMP · NIS2 · EU AI Act

Energy & critical infrastructure

Operator, vendor, maintenance and emergency authority on safety-critical AI/automation across grid, water, telecom, transport.

NIS2 · IEC 62443 · ISO 27001

Manufacturing

Robot, cobot, MES, SCADA, supplier tooling — prove who/what may act on which production asset, under what state and approval.

ISO 27001 · ISO 9001 · IEC 62443 · EU AI Act

Oil & gas

Field-asset authority, contractor delegation, safety-critical actions, emergency overrides, environmental incident evidence.

IOGP · ISO 14001 · IEC 62443 · NIS2

Mining

Autonomous equipment authority, site access, operator delegation, safety exclusion zones, remote-control authority.

ISO 27001 · ISO 45001 · IEC 62443

Automotive

Vehicle software authority, OTA updates, supplier components, fleet/driver/dealer delegation, model/tool version audit.

UNECE R155/R156 · ISO 21434 · IATF 16949 · EU AI Act

Maritime & shipping

Vessel, crew/officer, port agent, cargo, customs, autonomous-vessel and inspection authority — one chain across the route.

IMO MSC.428 · ISPS · ISO 27001

Each sector profile composes with the EU AI Act profile (kye-euaiact-1.0) when AI systems or AI agents are involved. KYE Compliance Mapping Rail binds the resulting evidence to framework controls.
