Signed Compliance Reports: Prove Your Data Posture to Auditors in One API Call

Every vendor security questionnaire asks the same questions. Where is the data stored? Is it encrypted at rest? Is it encrypted in transit? When was the last backup? How long do you keep audit logs? Answering them usually means a human logging into a console, taking screenshots, copying values into a spreadsheet, and hoping nobody changed anything between the screenshot and the audit.

The compliance report endpoint replaces that ritual with a single API call. It returns a JSON document describing your data posture across every service in your organization, and it attaches an HMAC-SHA256 signature over that document. An auditor can recompute the signature with a verification key and prove the report came from the platform and was not edited on the way to their desk.
