EvidenceVault · eDiscovery & Compliance

Backup that holds strong in crisis.

When a client's data ends up in a dispute, "we have a backup" isn't enough. EvidenceVault adds eDiscovery to the backups you already hold: legal holds, a hash-chained chain of custody, retention templates and SHA-256 destruction certificates.

Why EvidenceVault

Evidence-grade is a discipline, not a feature checkbox.

Legal hold management

Holds with custodian notification workflows and escalation, disposition is blocked until the hold is released.

Destruction certificates

A SHA-256-sealed certificate on object-level disposition and crypto-shred, recording what was disposed of, how and when.

Tamper-evident audit

A hash-chained audit trail across backup, restore, hold, and disposition events, with a signed nightly anchor on the chain head, so a rewrite the chain alone would accept no longer matches a head we already signed.

Cryptographic isolation

Per-tenant encryption keys, every client isolated by design, not by policy.

From retention policy to destruction certificate, provable at every step.

Legal holds

Holds that actually hold.

A legal hold in EvidenceVault is an enforced state across the platform, not a flag in a spreadsheet.

  • Matter-based holds spanning tenants and custodians.
  • Custodian notification workflows with automatic reminders and escalation.
  • Every purge path is blocked while a hold is active, releases are audited.

Retention & disposition

Retention schedules, shipped as templates.

Retention isn't one number. EvidenceVault ships templates named for HIPAA, SOX and GDPR so you start from a set period instead of configuring days by hand; your counsel confirms the period each record type needs.

  • Retention engine with policy-driven disposition when a window lapses, HIPAA, SOX and GDPR templates included.
  • Retention templates ready to apply: HIPAA (7 years), SOX (7 years) and GDPR (6 years), plus your own.
  • A SHA-256-sealed destruction certificate on object-level disposition and crypto-shred.

Compliance scoring

A live grade, not an annual audit surprise.

Compliance posture is computed continuously from the platform's own state.

  • Compliance framework scoring with live dashboards across multiple standards.
  • Data-protection posture graded A–F from 13 platform checks, operational scoring, not a regulatory verdict.
  • A portfolio roll-up so you can see the weakest tenant first.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Provenance you can prove: a tamper-evident, hash-chained audit trail across every backup, restore, hold, and disposition event; enforced legal holds with custodian acknowledgement; and cryptographic destruction certificates when data is disposed of. EvidenceVault produces all three as a matter of course.

Yes, while a hold is active, every purge and disposition path is blocked at the platform level, including automated retention runs. Releases are themselves audited events on the hash chain.

Retention templates named for HIPAA (7 years), SOX (7 years) and GDPR (6 years) ship with the platform, with policy-driven disposition when a window lapses and destruction certificates when data is removed. They are a starting point, not legal advice: your counsel sets the period each record type needs.

Per tenant, on top of an active Kapsul8 subscription, and not tier-gated. Add the pieces the client needs: eDiscovery $49.00/tenant/mo, Legal Holds $25.00/tenant/mo, Compliance Scoring $19.00/tenant/mo.
