PROTECT: Policy-Related Organizational Value Taxonomy for Ethical Compliance and Trust

Avni Mittal, Sree Hari Nagaralu, Sandipan Dandapat


Abstract
This paper presents PROTECT, a novel policy-driven organizational value taxonomy designed to enhance ethical compliance and trust within organizations. Drawing on established human value systems and leveraging large language models, PROTECT generates values tailored to organizational contexts and clusters them into a refined taxonomy. This taxonomy serves as the basis for creating a comprehensive dataset of compliance scenarios, each linked to specific values and paired with both compliant and non-compliant responses. By systematically varying value emphasis, we illustrate how different LLM personas emerge, reflecting diverse compliance behaviors. The dataset, directly grounded in the taxonomy, enables consistent evaluation and training of LLMs on value-sensitive tasks. While PROTECT offers a robust foundation for aligning AI systems with organizational standards, our experiments also reveal current limitations in model accuracy, highlighting the need for further improvements. Together, the taxonomy and dataset represent complementary, foundational contributions toward value-aligned AI in organizational settings.
