Backup that holds strong in crisis.
When a client's data ends up in a dispute, "we have a backup" isn't enough. EvidenceVault turns backup data into evidence-grade records with a legally defensible chain of custody — legal holds, chain of custody, retention with statutory schedules, and cryptographic destruction certificates.
Evidence-grade is a discipline, not a feature checkbox.
Holds with custodian notification workflows and escalation — disposition is blocked until the hold is released.
SHA-256 certificates on every purge — cryptographic proof that data was properly disposed of, and when.
A hash-chained audit trail across backup, restore, hold, and disposition events, meeting evidence-grade standards.
Per-tenant encryption with HKDF-derived keys — every client isolated by design, not by policy.
From retention policy to destruction certificate — provable at every step.
Holds that actually hold.
A legal hold in EvidenceVault is an enforced state across the platform, not a flag in a spreadsheet.
- Matter-based holds spanning tenants and custodians.
- Custodian notification workflows with automatic reminders and escalation.
- Every purge path is blocked while a hold is active — releases are audited.
POPIA-aligned retention with statutory schedules built in.
Retention isn't one number — South African law sets several. EvidenceVault ships them as templates.
- POPIA-aligned retention engine with automated disposition when periods lapse.
- Statutory schedules ready to apply: Companies Act 7-year, Tax 5-year, FICA 5-year, and more.
- Cryptographic destruction certificates generated on every disposition run.
A live grade, not an annual audit surprise.
Compliance posture is computed continuously from the platform's own state.
- Compliance framework scoring with live dashboards across multiple standards.
- POPIA posture graded A–F from 13 platform checks — operational scoring, not a regulatory verdict.
- Evidence for every check traces back to the hash-chained audit trail.
