Evidence Vault & Chain of Custody
Forensic-grade evidence management with complete traceability from inspection to litigation
What Is the Evidence Vault
The Evidence Vault is a secure, immutable digital repository for all forensic data collected during vehicle audits. Every photograph, video, diagnostic file, and report is cryptographically hashed, timestamped, and GPS-stamped at the moment of capture.
This creates an unbroken chain of custody from inspection through to potential litigation. Evidence integrity is verifiable, tampering is detectable, and authenticity is provable in court.
Hash Verification Explained
Cryptographic hashing creates a unique digital "fingerprint" of a file. If even a single character in the file changes, the hash changes completely.
When we issue a report, we publish its hash. Recipients can independently verify that the report they possess matches the original by recalculating the hash. If the hashes match, the document is authentic and unaltered.
