Computer architecture incorporating blockchain based immutable audit ledger for compliance with data regulations

A computer system architecture for providing compliance with data regulations, comprising:

• (a) a data collection terminal configured to receive a data input stream;
• (b) a data input device resident in the data terminal;
• (c) a data output device resident in the data collection terminal;
• (d) a compliance device driver resident in the data collection terminal that:
• (1) selects data in the data input stream received by the data input device that corresponds to pre-identified data fields, wherein the pre-identified data fields are determined by data compliance regulations, and
• (2) applies a compliance markup language parser to the selected data, thereby generating pseudonymized data;
• and
• (e) an automated compliance network appliance in communication with the compliance device driver, the automated compliance network appliance:
• (1) receiving the pseudonymized data generated by the compliance driver, and
• (2) transmitting the pseudonymized data in batches to blockchain miners;
• and
• (3) receiving the data input stream from the data collection terminal, and
• (4) transmitting the data input stream to the Internet;
• and
• (f) an automated compliance server, the automated compliance server:
• (1) receiving the data input stream from the Internet, and
• (2) storing the data input stream in a data lake,
• (3) receiving blockchain blocks from the miners, and
• (4) storing the blockchain clocks in an immutable audit leger that certifies that the data stored in the data lake is correct and unaltered.
