RegTrail — AI Coding Audit for Regulated Codebases

A compliance-grade audit log tool for fintech, healthcare, and govtech teams that need to prove what an AI coding agent read, edited, and skipped — exportable as SOC 2 / HIPAA evidence.

Target user

Compliance and security leads at regulated companies piloting or rolling out AI coding agents

Features
  • Per-session audit log of every file read, every edit, every command run, with timestamps and user attribution
  • Flagged-zone alerts when an agent touches sensitive code areas (auth, payments, PHI, PII)
  • Quarterly export bundle formatted for SOC 2 and ISO 27001 evidence packs, with reviewer sign-off
  • Self-hosted option so session data never leaves the customer VPC, with air-gap install supported
Why now

With EU AI Act enforcement phasing in and HIPAA auditors asking about AI-assisted code, regulated teams need auditable trails before they can roll coding agents out broadly across production codebases.

Feasibility
5/10

Moderately feasible: requires instrumenting or parsing sessions from Cursor/Copilot/Claude Code, distinguishing AI-vs-human edits via git diff heuristics, and producing auditor-friendly exports — doable but cross-tool normalization is non-trivial.AI Coding Agents Enterprise Comparison 2026: Claude Code vs Cursor vs
