Chile

In Chile, a company that uses AI agents to write code answers to the CMF if it is in the financial sector (especially chapter 20-10 of its Updated Compilation of Rules), to Law 21.663, the Cybersecurity Framework Law, if it is an operator of vital importance, and to the new data protection Law 21.719. Harkaq covers the controls these rules require over access, vendors and evidence.

CMF: information security, cybersecurity and outsourcing

For banks, card issuers and other supervised entities, chapter 20-10 of the CMF’s Updated Compilation of Rules requires managing information security and cybersecurity with a board-approved strategy, risk and incident management, and security testing. Chapter 20-7 governs outsourcing, including cloud, and requires managing each vendor’s risk.

What the CMF requires How Harkaq responds
Manage information security risk One policy for every agent, with per-operation control
Manage incidents Every blocked attempt is logged and Security is alerted
Manage vendor and cloud risk The AI model is contracted in the company’s own account and chosen region
Evidence for supervision Hash-chained log and a verifiable evidence report

Law 21.663, the Cybersecurity Framework Law

The Cybersecurity Framework Law created the National Cybersecurity Agency (ANCI) and requires operators of vital importance, including banks already designated by the agency, to maintain an information security management system with a record of its actions and to report incidents to the national CSIRT within short deadlines. With Harkaq, every AI agent action is logged and traceable to a person, ready to feed that record.

Law 21.719: personal data protection

Law 21.719 creates the Personal Data Protection Agency and takes effect on December 1, 2026. Its article 14 quinquies requires security measures proportional to risk and, above all, that the controller be able to prove they existed and worked. It also requires reporting breaches and keeping a record of them.

For a company that lets AI agents work on systems with personal data, proving it means having evidence: what the agent touched, what it tried to send, what was blocked and who approved each exception. That is what Harkaq’s evidence report delivers.

Artificial intelligence

Chile doesn’t have an AI law yet: the bill is in its second reading in the Senate. Companies that adopt agents now, with control and evidence, will be better prepared when it passes.

What an auditor will ask to see

  • The agent and the model registered as vendors, including where data is processed.
  • That the agent holds no standing credentials and that new access is approved by someone else.
  • Complete logs of every agent action, traceable to a person.
  • That the agent’s code is identified and reviewed before production.
  • Evidence that the controls worked, not just written policies.

Frequently asked questions

When does Law 21.719 take effect?

The law sets December 1, 2026. A bill to postpone it by one year is going through Congress; until it is published, the date in force is the one in the law.

Does Chile have an artificial intelligence law?

Not yet. The bill regulating AI systems is in its second reading in the Senate. Meanwhile, cybersecurity, CMF and data protection rules apply.

Does Harkaq replace legal advice?

No. This page summarizes the regulation to explain which controls Harkaq provides. Interpreting it for your company is up to your legal and compliance teams.
