Compliance Audits Are Painful

Auditor: "Prove you had access controls on Jan 15, 2024." You: Scramble through logs for 3 weeks.

😰

Without Independent Audit Trails

  • Γ—Auditor: "Prove you revoked access when employee left"
  • Γ—You: Search through AWS CloudTrail, Google Workspace logs, internal databases
  • Γ—Auditor: "These logs can be edited. Not sufficient."
  • Γ—Result: 6 months gathering evidence, $50K-200K in audit costs

With CertNode

  • βœ“Auditor: "Prove you revoked access when employee left"
  • βœ“You: Click "Export Compliance Report" in CertNode
  • βœ“CertNode: Shows cryptographic receipt of access revocation (can’t be edited)
  • βœ“Result: 2 weeks to complete audit, pass with zero findings

How CertNode Creates Compliance Audit Trails

Three types of receipts prove compliance events

πŸ”

1. Access Control Receipt

When: User permissions change

β€’ User email: john@company.com
β€’ Action: Access revoked
β€’ Timestamp: 2024-01-15 14:32:18 UTC
β€’ Admin: sarah@company.com
β€’ Reason: Employee terminated
β€’ Systems affected: AWS, GitHub, Slack
πŸ“‹

2. Policy Change Receipt

When: Security policies updated

β€’ Policy: Password requirements
β€’ Change: Min length 8β†’12 chars
β€’ Timestamp: 2024-02-01 09:15:00 UTC
β€’ Approved by: CTO
β€’ Version hash: abc123...
β€’ Links to previous version
🚨

3. Incident Receipt

When: Security events occur

β€’ Event: Failed login (5 attempts)
β€’ User: unknown@attacker.com
β€’ Timestamp: 2024-03-10 03:42:17 UTC
β€’ IP: 192.168.1.1
β€’ Action taken: IP blocked
β€’ Incident ID: INC-2024-0042

Complete Audit Trail

All receipts link together via Receipt Graph, creating tamper-proof compliance history.

When auditor asks: "Prove you had proper access controls in Q1 2024"

You export one report showing:
β€’ All user access changes (23 employees granted, 7 revoked)
β€’ All policy updates (password policy, MFA enforcement, encryption)
β€’ All security incidents (42 failed logins, 3 suspicious IPs blocked)
β€’ Complete timeline with cryptographic proof
β€’ Can’t be edited after creation (independently verifiable)

Auditor: "Perfect. Zero findings. Audit complete."
