The law does not ask whether you have records. It asks whether you can prove when they existed.
That is a different, much harder question. It is the question HMRC, the IRS, the ICO and courts in four jurisdictions are now deciding cases on.
Your records may be correct. The problem is that no-one can prove, independently, when they existed.
Your common systems make authenticity easy to challenge.
“Customer, not Vanta, shall have sole responsibility for the accuracy, quality, integrity ... of all Customer Data.”
Four cases. Four jurisdictions. All failed on evidence challenges.
In each case, the substance of the records may have been correct. What failed was the ability to prove when those records were created. The records did not survive the challenge.
Metadata on a retainer agreement proved the document had been created two days before it was submitted to court, not a year earlier as its date claimed. The timing inconsistency was strong evidence of fabrication. The attorney faced sanctions under Rule 26(g).
Supervisory approval forms produced by the IRS itself were found to have been backdated. The IRS had submitted false declarations to the court about when the approvals were obtained. The Tax Court sanctioned the IRS.
In a custody dispute, multiple emails and digital records produced from the party's own devices were found to have been spoofed or fabricated. The pattern of fabrication was comprehensive.
First corporate Criminal Finances Act prosecution of an accountancy firm. £16M in R&D tax claims. English literature graduates wrote the technical reports retrospectively.
Send one real sample. We walk through, live, how opposing counsel's forensic expert would attack it, and how an immut certificate on the same file changes the answer.
The Evidence Trust Layer.
immut is the proof layer that sits underneath your existing systems. Your records keep living where they live. immut anchors each one to a public ledger the moment it is saved, so the date is no longer something a regulator has to take your word for.
immut sits below Email, SharePoint, Drive, Slack, Vanta and the rest. The records stay where they live. We make them provable.
Every file is hashed and anchored to a public ledger the moment it exists. Not weeks later. Not in response to an audit.
The proof lives on a public blockchain. A regulator, a judge, or opposing counsel can verify it without trusting immut, and without trusting you.
See independent proof form, in seconds.
Drop a file. The hash is computed locally in your browser using the same primitive a regulator or a court would accept. Nothing is uploaded. The certificate you see is the same shape we issue in production.
Independent proof in four steps. Nothing leaves your device.
The proof outlives immut. If immut ceased to exist tomorrow, every certificate already issued remains independently verifiable on the public blockchain.
Works inside the tools your team already uses.
immut protects evidence in the workflows you already have. No migration. No new home for your files. The originals stay where they live, and the proof stays with them.
The standards your evidence is judged against.
If you operate under any of these frameworks, immut produces records that survive the scrutiny their auditors apply. Examples below. The list is not exhaustive.
Accepted in courts and across 88 countries.
Blockchain-anchored evidence is not theoretical. Courts and regulators have already ruled. 171 jurisdictions. Four continents.
What immut is not.
Vanta, Drata and Secureframe collect your evidence. They do not prove when it existed. immut is the proof layer that sits underneath.
We do not store your files. We prove their existence on a public ledger, and your originals stay on your hardware.
You do not have to trust immut. The proof lives on a public blockchain, verifiable by anyone, independent of us.
A blockchain wallet runs under the hood. You never touch it. All the strength of blockchain, none of the complexity. No tokens, no seed phrases, no volatility.
The question is not whether you will be investigated. It is whether you will be ready.
15 minutes. No slideware. You send one real sample. We show you, live, how it would hold up against opposing counsel's forensic expert, and how an immut certificate on the same file looks side by side.
