Compliance and audit
Immutable audit trails for regulated industries.
The auditor arrives.
They ask for proof of every transaction.
Your team digs through logs.
Some records are missing.
Others were overwritten.
The audit stalls for weeks.
npayload records everything in a tamper proof chain.
Auditors get what they need instantly.
See how it flows
Tamper proof records
Every event is recorded in a hash chain. Altering any entry breaks the chain and is immediately detectable.
Compliance frameworks
SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 controls mapped and continuously verified.
Data residency controls
Data stays in the region your regulators require. Cross border transfers require explicit consent.
Retention policies
Up to six years of audit trail retention on enterprise plans. Configurable per channel.
How it works
Events are recorded automatically
Every message, delivery, and agreement creates an immutable audit entry.
Hash chains prevent tampering
Each entry references the previous one. Altering any record breaks the chain.
Export for your auditors
SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA controls are mapped. Audit reports are always ready.
Compliance and Audit Infrastructure: Before and After
Without npayload
- Preparing for an audit means weeks of aggregating logs from dozens of systems
- No tamper evidence on logs means auditors question the integrity of your records
- Tracking data flows across organizational boundaries is nearly impossible
- Compliance requirements change and your infrastructure has no way to enforce the new rules
- Different systems log in different formats, making correlation a manual process
With npayload
- Export complete audit trails for any time range in minutes, not weeks
- Hash chain integrity proves logs have not been tampered with since creation
- Every cross organization data flow is logged with sender, receiver, consent, and timestamps
- Policy enforcement is built into the messaging layer, not bolted on after the fact
- Unified event format across all systems with W3C distributed tracing
npayload vs Building Compliance Infrastructure Yourself
| Feature | npayload | Build it yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Audit trail | Always on, hash chained, tamper evident | Custom logging per service, no integrity guarantees |
| Audit preparation | Export any range in minutes via API | Weeks of log aggregation and formatting |
| Tamper evidence | Hash chain with cryptographic integrity verification | Log files that anyone with access can modify |
| Cross org tracking | Full provenance for every message across organizations | Correlation IDs that stop at organizational boundaries |
| SIEM integration | Native audit streaming to your SIEM | Custom export pipelines per compliance tool |
| Data retention | Configurable retention policies per channel and region | Manual cleanup scripts with deletion compliance risk |
