Legal compliance = named regulatory rows. $IR_LAB. Original Cyberlium.

Legal gates shape IR comms and timing — name regulatory and counsel checkpoints on YOUR lab tabletop, not unauthorized legal advice or prod filings.

Legal compliance literacy names: engage legal counsel early category, regulatory notification trigger factors category (breach definition literacy stub — jurisdiction varies), record retention and litigation hold category, law enforcement coordination gate category, and contract/third-party obligation review category. Analyst documents legal checkpoint list on `$IR_LAB` tabletop stub — lists factors legal would weigh, escalation stub to counsel — without filing real regulatory notices without authorization, without impersonating legal counsel, without claiming jurisdiction-specific advice as universal fact. Cyberlium teaches awareness vocabulary — counsel owns legal decisions. Refused: unauthorized regulatory filing, legal impersonation, prod counsel bypass. Lab row: legal checkpoint list (five factors, counsel escalation stub, NEVER unauthorized filing line).

1. Named legal checkpoints

Counsel engagement, notification triggers, retention/hold, law enforcement gate, contract review — five literacy anchors.

Jurisdiction varies — document 'consult counsel' stub, not universal legal claims.

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, curl. Reference sites: NIST SP 800-61 (https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/detail/sp/800-61/rev-2/final); ISO/IEC 27035 (https://www.iso.org/standard/78973.html); CISA (https://www.cisa.gov/stopransomware). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Analyst boundary

Analyst documents facts and escalates — legal interprets regulatory obligations.

Link Module 8-1 comms approval gate to counsel review row.

3. Refused

No unauthorized regulatory filing; no legal impersonation; no universal breach advice.

Legal literacy supports escalation — not unauthorized legal action.

4. What you ship: legal checkpoint list

Five legal factors + counsel escalation stub + NEVER unauthorized filing line.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Legal checkpoint list path.

6. Wrong vs right: stranger networks vs YOUR IR tabletop

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

Wrong: File real regulatory breach notice without org authorization as 'compliance lab.'
Right: Legal checkpoint list from `$IR_LAB` tabletop stub. Next: External Notify.
