immut is the Evidence Trust Layer. It sits underneath your existing compliance tools and anchors every file to the XRP Ledger blockchain with a precise timestamp. This creates tamper-evident, independently verifiable proof that a document existed at a specific moment — court-admissible in 88 countries.

Is blockchain evidence accepted in court?

Yes. Blockchain-anchored evidence has been accepted as legal evidence in US Federal Court (US v. Sterlingov, 2024), the EUIPO across all 27 EU member states (AZ Factory v. Valeria Moda, 2025), China's Supreme People's Court (1,400+ IP cases since 2018), and under EU Regulation 2025/2531. immut certificates are accepted in 88 countries and 171 jurisdictions.

Does my file leave my device?

No. immut generates a SHA-256 hash of your file on your own device. Only the hash is recorded on the blockchain. Your original file never leaves your infrastructure. Public proof. Private work.

Does immut replace Vanta or Drata?

No. immut is the proof layer that sits underneath your existing compliance tools. Vanta and Drata collect your evidence. immut proves when that evidence existed. They complement each other — immut adds the independent timestamp your compliance platform cannot provide.

Which compliance standards does immut support?

immut produces records that satisfy evidence requirements in ISO 27001, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, SOC 2, GDPR, HMRC R&D, HSE health and safety, KYC/AML, EU AI Act, HIPAA, and more. Any standard that requires dated, tamper-evident records is supported.

What happens if immut shuts down?

Every certificate already issued remains independently verifiable on the public XRP Ledger. The proof does not depend on immut existing. A regulator, a judge, or opposing counsel can verify your certificate on the public blockchain at any time, with or without immut.

Green Jellyfish & Kirby & Haslam: £100M R&D Tax Fraud

HMRC Investigation, UK 2024

R&D tax recordsBackdated document

What happened

HMRC conducted coordinated dawn raids on two Norwich-based R&D tax consultancy firms, Green Jellyfish Ltd and Kirby & Haslam Ltd, arresting 11 individuals. The investigation alleged that the firms had filed over £100 million in fraudulent R&D tax relief claims. The method: employing English literature graduates to write technically-formatted retrospective reports for businesses whose activities were clearly non-qualifying, including a horse stud farm and a butcher. The reports were formatted to appear as genuine technical assessments, with plausible technology references and appropriate language. HMRC became aware of the fraud through other intelligence. The reports themselves appeared authentic on their face and were not distinguishable from legitimate R&D claims documentation by standard review. A retrospective report produced by a third party looks identical to a contemporaneous technical journal kept by the team that actually performed the work. Blockchain-timestamped technical notebooks and design decisions created at the time of R&D activity would be immediately distinguishable from any retrospectively-written report.

Outcome

11 arrests. Investigation ongoing. The reports looked authentic in format, with plausible technology references, making them indistinguishable from legitimate contemporaneous documentation by standard review.
