Compliance Evidence Pack

Audit-grade records from your agents — generated, mapped and accepted, not improvised the week before the audit.

Explainer for a design-partner product: the recorder, one decision followed from intent to export (sample record), the auditor-in-the-room roadmap and the published prices — captioned, no sound required. A recorded audit walkthrough follows the first accepted audit. · Open the video file

The problem

The regulators have written the record-keeping rules. The auditors are improvising the evidence.

Colorado wants three-year records and 30-day explanations from January 2027; the EU AI Act's lifetime logging is deferred but unchanged; ISO/IEC 42001 certificates tripled in four months and the largest buyers now require it from AI suppliers. Compliance platforms collect documents; they do not generate evidence of model behaviour. The Pack records every agent step tamper-evidently and exports what each framework asks for.

The place nobody else holds

What we publish that the alternatives do not.

One test-and-evidence pack per domain. Rules push buyers hardest in insurance, banking, hiring, manufacturing, pharma and the public sector, and each asks for different records; governance platforms sell inventories, compliance platforms collect documents, and nobody sells the pack per domain to mid-market deployers. The Lab publishes the packs domain by domain.

From the Lab's October 2026 review of the market — the six open places, and how we earn them.

What it does

Six things the Compliance Evidence Pack does that the alternatives do not.

  1. 01

    Tamper-evident recorder

    An SDK or MCP proxy writes every agent step to a hash-chained, signed log with optional external anchoring — intent, policy evaluation, human approval, execution, effects, context, code and delegation provenance.

  2. 02

    Versions and approvals attached

    Model, prompt and tool versions and the human approvals on each decision travel with the record, so an explanation can be reconstructed months later.

  3. 03

    Scheduled evaluations

    The Gate's harness re-run on a schedule, with results in the same log — continuous evidence rather than an annual snapshot.

  4. 04

    Four exports

    An Article 12-style lifetime log; a Colorado-style decision record with explanation and human-review trail; change and incident records; and a mapped evidence pack.

  5. 05

    Framework mapping

    ISO/IEC 42001 Annex A, CSA AI Controls Matrix, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act Annex IV and the OWASP Agentic Top 10 — one record, several request lists satisfied.

  6. 06

    Drops into your compliance platform

    Pushes to Vanta or Drata, or lands in an auditor's request folder. We build the format auditors accept; the hashing is the easy part.

Our public commitment for this product: We will not sell the Pack beyond design partners until an accredited auditor has accepted it in a real audit. That acceptance is gate five, due 30 June 2027, and it will be reported here.

FAQ

Questions we are asked

We use Vanta. Doesn't that cover AI?

Vanta and Drata collect and track evidence you give them. Evidence of what your agents did — the decision, the approval, the model version — has to be generated by something sitting next to the agent. That is the Pack; it then pushes into Vanta or Drata.

Why design partners first?

Because the format an auditor accepts is the product, and that cannot be designed without an auditor in the room. Design partners get the recorder at cost and a say in the exports.
