REFRACT Audit™

Document Sovereignty & Integrity Platform

REFRACT Audit validates, verifies, and preserves document trust with append-only, cryptographically chained audit trails, cryptographic evidence, reproducible records for rendered documents, and compliance-ready reporting.

REFRACT Audit™

Tamper-Evident Infrastructure for the Verifiable Enterprise

Document Integrity

Append-only, cryptographically chained audit trails and tamper-evident records that preserve evidence across the document lifecycle.

Verification & Reproducibility

Each rendered document is saved in a self-contained .raudit archive holding its template, payload, assets, and output, so it can be hash-checked and re-rendered for comparison. Sealed workflow documents are hash-checked against their audit chain but not re-rendered: their template, payload, and assets are fetched live at seal time and are not in the archive.

Compliance Transparency

Custom XMP metadata injection, a generated Section 508 conformance certificate and report built from the engine's own checks, and audit-ready validation reports.

Long-Term Validation

Internal offline trust today, with external TSA and authority trust support designed for future LTV workflows.

Tamper-Evident Infrastructure for the Verifiable Enterprise

Product capabilities

REFRACT Audit is the trust layer for generated and signed documents, proving what happened, when it happened, and whether the final document can be independently verified.

Document Integrity

Append-only, cryptographically chained audit trails and tamper-evident records that preserve evidence across the document lifecycle.

  • Append-only audit trails
  • Tamper-evident records
  • Cryptographic evidence

Verification & Reproducibility

Each rendered document is saved in a self-contained .raudit archive holding its template, payload, assets, and output, so it can be hash-checked and re-rendered for comparison. Sealed workflow documents are hash-checked against their audit chain but not re-rendered: their template, payload, and assets are fetched live at seal time and are not in the archive.

  • Hash verification
  • Re-rendering of rendered documents
  • Original document DNA

Compliance Transparency

Custom XMP metadata injection, a generated Section 508 conformance certificate and report built from the engine's own checks, and audit-ready validation reports.

  • XMP metadata
  • 508 conformance report
  • Validation reports

Long-Term Validation

Internal offline trust today, with external TSA and authority trust support designed for future LTV workflows.

  • Internal offline trust
  • External TSA-ready
  • Authority trust model

Verifiable Enterprise Records

Self-documenting records kept entirely within your sovereign tenant to support governance and audit defense.

  • Self-documenting evidence
  • Tenant-controlled records
  • Audit defense

Documents stored in your Azure subscription

Documents are generated and stored in your Azure subscription. Every document download, for REFRACT eSign, Delivery, and Workflow alike, redirects the browser to your own Dispatcher or SharePoint site, which serves the bytes directly; the REFRACT-hosted portal never receives them. Signature images and field values, and REFRACT Workflow attachment uploads, are the two exceptions: they pass through the portal in memory on their way to your Dispatcher and are never written to its storage. The portal keeps signer contact details, one-time-code hashes and session state.

  • Tenant sovereignty
  • Controlled validation

Evidence & Compliance Artifacts

The proof package behind every regulated document

For regulated teams, a document is only as strong as the evidence that proves it. REFRACT Audit packages validation outputs, traceability, metadata, and the generated certificate and report into a machine-readable evidence bundle.

PAC Validation Report

Machine-verifiable PDF/UA proof at creation time

Attach PAC validation results to show that the document met PDF/UA and Section 508 expectations at the exact moment it was generated, not after risky post-processing.

Generated Section 508 Certificate

Companion certificate summarizing trust and accessibility

Generate a companion certificate that summarizes XMP metadata, digital signature state, the result of the engine's own accessibility checks, and the standards claimed across the final record. REFRACT produces it from its own validation; it is not issued by a third party.

Trace File / Tagging Report

Forensic mapping from source JSON to PDF tags

Produce a granular trace file that links the originating JSON nodes, runtime rendering decisions, and final PDF tag structure for deep audit review.

Execution model

How it fits into the REFRACT Platform

1

Receive generated or signed document packages from rendering and workflow systems.

2

Validate accessibility, structure, metadata, hash integrity, and trace evidence.

3
