Evidence that can prove it wasn't changed.
Chain-of-custody sealing, assembled audit packages, and WORM export. Talarity keeps the provenance of every piece of evidence — who collected it, when, from where, and whether anything happened to it since.
Sound familiar?
Evidence lives in shared folders where anyone can rename, replace, or re-export a file.
There's no record of who collected a screenshot, when, or from which system.
Audit packages are assembled as zip files and delivered over channels nobody can audit.
Legal hold is a request sent by email and honoured by whoever remembers it.
Retention is enforced by convention, so evidence is sometimes deleted early and sometimes kept forever.
An auditor's real question is whether the record can be trusted.
Most disputes about evidence are not about whether the control operated. They're about whether the artifact in front of the auditor is the artifact that was produced at the time. A screenshot in a folder cannot answer that. It has no collector, no verified timestamp, and no way to show whether it was replaced last Tuesday. The result is re-performance: the auditor redoes work that was already done, because the record doesn't carry its own proof.
The same weakness shows up in delivery and disposal. Packages leave as zip files over channels that keep no record. Legal hold depends on someone remembering an email. Retention is enforced by habit, which in practice means some evidence disappears before it should and the rest accumulates indefinitely.
Talarity treats provenance as part of the evidence. Each item carries its collector, its timestamp, and an integrity seal, so later modification is detectable rather than deniable. Audit packages are assembled from sealed items and exported to write-once storage when the engagement requires immutability. Legal holds are applied as a state on the records themselves, and retention runs as policy rather than as memory.
The capabilities, in your context.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Compliance
Evidence captured against the control it proves, sealed with chain-of-custody, assembled into audit packages, and exported to write-once storage when immutability is required.
Explore ComplianceGovernance
Every artifact linked to the control, the policy, and the owner it belongs to — so an evidence request resolves to a record rather than a search.
Explore GovernanceRisk
Risk decisions and acceptances recorded with the same provenance as control evidence, because those are the ones questioned years later.
Explore RiskAdd-on modules
Attach to GRC Professional or Enterprise Governance — same flat price on either.
Workforce Governance
Access review and entitlement review outcomes captured as evidence in their own right, not as an exported spreadsheet.
Third-Party Risk Management
Vendor responses and third-party documents held under the same custody rules as internal evidence.

- Compliance·9 min readSave a security package once, send it on demandA prospect's security team asks for your SOC 2, your pen test, and your current security policies — again. Package Templates save that set as a reusable definition of pinned items plus rules like 'every current SOC 2 report', resolve it fresh each time you send, and hand it over as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy with a record of who received what.
- Governance·6 min readExport and verify your audit trail for SOC 2Pull your full audit trail as a SOC 2 evidence file in any format, then prove it wasn't altered with a one-click tamper-evidence check — backed by a per-row hash chain and a Merkle root your auditor can re-verify offline.
- Governance·6 min readCatch toxic access combinations with Segregation of DutiesDefine the pairs of duties no single person should hold — approve and disburse, accept a risk and own its control — and Talarity flags every user who holds both, with ten framework-mapped starter rules out of the box.
- Compliance·8 min readPackage your audit evidence once — for the auditor, regulator, or customerAn auditor asks for your evidence and it's scattered across framework reports, vendor attestations, policy sign-offs, and resilience tests. Evidence Distribution Packages assemble the signed artifacts you already produced into one immutable package, then hand it to each audience as a redacted, watermarked, time-limited copy — with a record of who received what.
