Regulatory Compliance in Storybook

1. Accessibility Compliance

Ensuring that your components are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities, by following WCAG guidelines.

2. Data Protection

Adhering to regulations like GDPR that govern the handling of personal data in your application.

3. Security Standards

Implementing security best practices to protect against vulnerabilities in your Storybook components.

Step 1: Identify Relevant Regulations

Determine which regulations apply to your project based on your audience and the data you handle.

Step 2: Implement Accessibility Practices

Use tools like aXe to evaluate accessibility in your Storybook. Follow these guidelines:

• Ensure all interactive elements are keyboard navigable.
• Provide meaningful alt text for images.
• Use semantic HTML to convey meaning.

Step 3: Data Handling Compliance

Make sure to anonymize or encrypt any personal data that may be used in your components. For example:

const anonymizeData = (data) => {
                    return data.map(user => ({ ...user, email: 'hidden' }));
                };

Step 4: Security Reviews

Regularly review your code for security vulnerabilities. Utilize tools like ESLint with security plugins.

• Integrate compliance checks into your CI/CD pipeline.
• Conduct regular training sessions for your team on compliance standards.
• Utilize Storybook add-ons for accessibility checks.
• Document compliance efforts and maintain an audit trail.
