Audit evidence that
verifies itself.
Every change on the platform already passes through a machine-legible chokepoint — a hermetic build, a merge through the gate, a federated token, a signed deploy. fastverk turns that into content-addressed audit evidence as a byproduct of the SDLC. Test the whole population, not a sample. Regenerate the audit package on demand — and verify it by hash.

Evidence-first assurance doesn't speed up the old audit. It removes the manual work the old audit was built around: the evidence request list, the sample, the once-a-year snapshot.
No more "provided by client."
The evidence request list is the auditor's — and the client's — least favorite artifact: weeks of screenshots, exports, and chasing owners for proof a control operated. fastverk's evidence already exists — structured, content-addressed, and time-stamped the moment the platform did something auditable. The request list becomes a query.
Test the population, not a sample.
Sampling exists because collecting evidence for every item by hand is infeasible. When every change emits evidence automatically, that constraint is gone — you test 100% of the population. A stronger opinion, not a bigger sample.
A sample is pulled and tested; the rest of the population is inferred. Coverage you extrapolate — and defend.
Every change already emits evidence, so you test 100% of the population — not a sample of it. Nothing inferred.
Point-in-time becomes continuous.
A Type II report attests that controls operated over a period; the stretch between audits is covered by a bridge letter — a promise nothing changed. Continuous, content-addressed evidence attests every change across the whole period. It's the continuous-auditing substrate the profession has wanted for a decade.
Evidence, as a byproduct of the SDLC.
Collectors read the control plane's own state — they don't "integrate with" a heterogeneous, human-driven pipeline. Each machine-legible seam a change flows through emits an immutable record, mapped to the control it satisfies.
- hermetic RBE build
- merge through the gate
- ArgoCD deploy
- federated access token
- human approval
Each seam emits a structured EvidenceRecord — no screenshots, no agent bolted onto someone else's SDLC. A missing source degrades to NO EVIDENCE, never a fabricated green.
9f2c…e401S3 Object-Lock · KMSwins · immutableEvidence an auditor can verify — without collecting it.
Every record is content-addressed. Regenerate the audit package over the same period and it yields the same digest; change one byte of evidence and the digest moves, flipping the control to an exception. Try it:
sha256:9f2c…e401 verified ✓ Digest computed live in your browser to demonstrate the property — reproducible (regenerate the same evidence and the digest is identical) and tamper-evident (change one byte and it moves, flipping the control to an exception). It's how an auditor verifies evidence they didn't collect themselves. The platform uses BLAKE3.
SOC 2 today. The evidence remaps.
The control catalog is data and the evidence is framework-agnostic — so more frameworks are a remap, not a re-collection.
One evidence base, many attestations — the same reason SOC for Cybersecurity and SOC 2 can share the same underlying controls.
Fewer hours per engagement. A higher-confidence opinion.
Evidence collection and sampling are where audit hours — and margin — go. Automating them means more engagements per practitioner, or the same engagement at a higher-confidence, population-level opinion.
Audit prep collapses from a quarter of screenshots to a query. Readiness is computed continuously, so there's no scramble before fieldwork and no surprise exceptions.
Content-addressed, reproducible evidence changes the trust model: an auditor verifies evidence by hash instead of taking a collected artifact on faith. Independence, made mechanical.
What's built today — and what's next.
Straight about maturity, because a partner will ask. The contracts and catalog exist; the collection and portal are the build ahead.
- The 17-control SOC 2-2017 catalog, as data
- The evidence contracts (proto) + control evaluator model
- Content-addressed, write-once store design (Object-Lock + KMS)
- The platform underneath: 14 live plugins, hermetic RBE, a CRD control plane
- The collectors that harvest each chokepoint
- The auditor portal + GenerateAuditPackage export
- ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI remaps
- Continuous readiness scoring + exception workflow
Not agents bolted onto your SDLC. The SDLC itself.
Legacy compliance tools read a heterogeneous pipeline through read-only integrations and still leave you collecting by hand. fastverk's evidence is a byproduct of a platform that is the pipeline — hermetic builds, a merge gate, content-addressed SCM, federated tokens. That's why the evidence is complete, and why it's hard to copy.
