Data Integrity

Trust Your Data. Prove It.

Unalterable audit trails, version control, and ALCOA+ principles enforced at every layer — from database to document to signature.

01

Audit Trail by Design

The system maintains detailed, unalterable audit trails of all activities. Secure, computer-generated, time-stamped audit trails independently record the date and time of every operator entry and action. Record changes never obscure previously recorded information, and audit trails are available for agency review and copying.

02

Version Control & Record Integrity

Valkit.ai provides version control for all validation documents, ensuring only the most current version is used for execution and review. The system blocks unauthorized version changes, generates new versions with unique identifiers, and maintains a complete status history for all documents to track progress and changes over time.

03

Access Control & Authorization

Authority checks ensure only authorized individuals can use the system, sign records, access operations, alter records, or perform operations. Role-based access control with MFA and SSO integration, combined with Row-Level Security for tenant isolation, ensures data confidentiality across organizations.

04

Multi-Layer Data Protection

Data is protected through AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit across every infrastructure layer. Point-in-Time Recovery provides a 2-minute RPO (database changes logged every 2 minutes), with a recovery period of up to 7 days (configurable to 14 or 28 days). Automated daily backups and geographic data residency options support global compliance requirements.
