How Proof-Carrying Compliance Works

From telemetry to tamper-proof evidence in three steps

Step 1

Connect Your Stack

Self-healing integrations connect to Entra ID, Acronis, GDAP, PSA, and 39 more vendors. Telemetry flows automatically.

Step 2

Evidence Is Created

Telemetry becomes timestamped observations. Manual inputs become attestations. All evidence is SHA-256 hashed at creation.

Step 3

Controls Are Evaluated

Evidence maps to CIS safeguards. Control status updates in real-time. Stale evidence triggers drift alerts.

Three Types of Evidence

Every evidence type has integrity guarantees and staleness tracking

Observations

Timestamped facts from telemetry: Backup completed at 02:00 UTC, MFA enabled for [email protected], Patch KB5034441 installed.

Attestations

Human declarations with expiration: Security policy reviewed Q4 2025, Incident response plan updated, Training completed by staff.

Artifacts

SHA-256 hashed proof files: Screenshot of MFA settings, Export of privileged users, Backup job configuration.

Staleness Detection

Compliance That Stays Fresh

Evidence has a shelf life. Backup observations should be recent. Policy attestations expire. We track staleness and alert you before controls drift.

  • Backup Observations: 24 hours staleness threshold
  • MFA Status Checks: 7 days staleness threshold
  • Privilege Reviews: 30 days staleness threshold
  • Policy Attestations: 90 days staleness threshold
  • Control Marked Stale: Status changes from "Met" to "Stale" in your dashboard
  • Drift Alert Sent: Notification via your preferred channel
  • Auto-Refresh or Action: System attempts to refresh evidence or queues remediation task
