Compliance Articles

3 articles from the ERPStack engineering team, last updated May 29, 2026.

In short: what the Compliance Articles cover

The Compliance Articles cover the controls an auditor checks first in a Next.js application handling regulated data: business associate agreements, audit logging, PHI leaking into caches and logs, encrypted real-time transport, and partitioning tenant data by jurisdiction. ERPStack builds systems that are auditable against these frameworks; it does not issue certifications.

What the Compliance cluster covers

  • HIPAA controls in a Next.js application
  • PHI over WebSockets and Server-Sent Events
  • GDPR and multi-region data residency
  • tenant partitioning by jurisdiction

Where to start with the Compliance Articles

Read in this order, the 3 Compliance Articles build on one another: the broadest treatment first, then the decisions that depend on it.

  1. Step 1 of 3: The HealthTech Autopsy

    Start here for any healthcare build. It works through the controls an auditor reaches for first, in the order they usually fail: business associate agreements with every vendor in the request path, telemetry that quietly ships protected health information to third parties, the Next.js caching layer cross-contaminating patient records, immutable audit logging, the network perimeter, and identity and access management.

  2. Step 2 of 3: The Multi-Tenant Data Sovereignty Crisis of 2026

    Read this when tenants sit in more than one jurisdiction. It explains why encryption does not answer a residency question, lays out the database-per-region model, and is honest about the two things that get harder as a result: authenticating a single user across regional databases, and running a schema migration against several of them at once.

  3. Step 3 of 3: The HealthTech Real-Time Crisis

    Read this before shipping a real-time clinical dashboard. It covers the transport-level exposure of a long-lived WebSocket, how a shared publish/subscribe channel contaminates one tenant's stream with another's, what an audit trail still owes for a connection that never issues a request, and the client-side implementation that keeps all three honest.

Systems and standards the Compliance Articles work through

These 23 systems and standards appear in the body of the 3 Compliance Articles, each with the configuration, failure mode or measured cost that made it worth naming. The article beside each name is the one that works through it.

What the Compliance Articles do not cover

This cluster does not issue or interpret certifications and it does not cost a build. ERPStack builds systems that are auditable against these frameworks; the audit itself belongs to the client and their assessor.

  • Architecture Articles

    Reference architectures for enterprise Next.js: multi-tenant isolation, headless ERP module boundaries, and the failure modes each decision introduces.

  • ERP Articles

    Custom ERP economics and architecture: build-versus-buy arithmetic, NetSuite and Odoo alternatives, and where AI tooling genuinely compresses delivery.

  • Next.js Articles

    Next.js at B2B SaaS scale: auth, tenancy, billing and RBAC in a starter, the Next.js 16 migration sequence, and what breaks past 100,000 users.

  • Performance Articles

    Measured Next.js performance work: edge middleware latency benchmarks, React Server Component patterns, and their effect on LCP, INP and CLS.
