The Compliance Flight Recorder

Complete audit evidence in minutes, not weeks

Works inside your declared audit boundary (ex: AWS + GitHub + Jira). Outputs are repeatable, verifiable, and tied to approvals—not screenshots and memory.

Stop rebuilding compliance history from memory. Reify captures control-relevant changes, links them to tickets and approvals, and generates auditor-ready narratives—so you can answer “what changed?” for any point in time.

The Problem

Your current audit process is costing you time, money, and sleep

Every audit becomes a scramble to reconstruct what happened months ago—hunting through logs, screenshots, and people's memories.

Weeks of manual work

Your team spends 40+ hours gathering screenshots, exporting logs, and writing narratives for every audit cycle.

Sampling hides risks

Auditors check 1–2 changes. What about the other 500? Unauthorized changes can slip through outside the sample.

Evidence rebuilt every year

Last year's exports aren't enough. When incidents happen or diligence starts, you're scrambling to prove what was true months ago.

Endless follow-up questions

Auditors ask for clarification. You dig through Slack, email, and meeting notes. Weeks go by before you can respond.

The Reify Difference

From sampling to enumeration. From weeks to minutes.

Reify acts as your compliance flight recorder—capturing what matters, when it matters, so you can prove what actually happened within your declared boundary.

40+

Hours Saved

Per audit cycle. Generate complete evidence packages in minutes instead of weeks of manual work.

100%

Coverage

Every in-scope change enumerated and linked to authorization. No sampling. No gaps. No surprises.

24/7

Audit Ready

Point-in-time snapshots let you answer questions about any date—fast—even months later.

What You Get

Auditor-ready artifacts, not marketing promises

Reify produces a structured evidence bundle you can hand to auditors (or internal reviewers) with a verification trail that’s repeatable and tamper-evident.

Evidence Bundle (ZIP)

A single export containing machine-readable ledgers + human-readable narratives + integrity proofs.

Change ledger (CSV/JSON) Every in-scope change, timestamped + attributed
Authorization chain Links to Jira tickets, approvals, PRs, and evidence provenance
Point-in-time snapshots Control state captured on schedule or on demand
Narratives (PDF/Markdown) Deterministic explanations generated from snapshot data
Hashes + signing metadata Hash manifest, tool version, and verification instructions
Scope declaration Signed boundary statement: what’s included vs excluded
Why auditors like it: the same inputs produce the same outputs (deterministic narratives), and integrity can be validated using the bundle’s hash manifest + tool version.
How It Works

Four steps to complete audit evidence

Reify integrates with your systems to capture, preserve, and present audit-grade evidence with a repeatable verification trail.

1. Connect

Connect the systems that matter for your audit boundary—AWS infrastructure, GitHub, Jira, and other systems of record.

  • Declare PCI / SOC 2 boundary
  • Choose sources of truth (AWS, Jira, GitHub)
  • Select a time window for reporting

2. Record (Continuous & Passive)

Reify captures immutable snapshots of in-scope control state—no manual exports, no screenshots, no “what do we remember?”.

  • Always-on flight recorder (passive monitoring)
  • Changes timestamped as they happen
  • Linked to tickets, approvals, and PRs automatically
  • Sealed for integrity (hash manifest)

3. Explain

Generate auditor-friendly narratives directly from snapshot data. Same inputs always produce the same output—deterministic and verifiable.

  • Auditor-readable narratives
  • Full enumeration within boundary
  • Evidence provenance and traceability

4. Export

Package everything for your auditor in minutes—structured evidence bundles with narratives, references, and integrity proofs.

  • One-click evidence export
  • Ready for audit workpapers
  • Reusable for incidents + diligence
Integrations

Integrations & Evidence Sources

Reify connects to the systems that already define your audit reality.

Primary Evidence

  • AWS — CloudTrail, IAM, config state
  • GitHub — PRs, commits, reviews
  • Terraform — Runs & state

Change & Approval Context

  • Jira — Tickets, approvals, emergency flags
  • GitHub PR reviews — Peer approval records

Execution & Identity

  • CI/CD pipelines — Build & deploy logs
  • IAM / STS sessions — Identity provenance
  • SSM (break-glass) — Manual access monitoring
A Day in the Life

The "Evidence Hunt" — With and Without Reify

See exactly how Reify transforms the most painful parts of an audit. Three common requests, two very different outcomes.

9:00 AM

The "Population" Request

The Auditor says: "I need a list of every production system change made between July 1st and December 31st."

Without Reify

Your Lead Engineer drops everything. They run a messy SQL query on the CI/CD pipeline, export a GitHub commit log, and try to cross-reference it with Jira. They find 400 changes. They spend 4 hours deduplicating and "cleaning" the Excel sheet so it doesn't look like a mess.

With Reify

You log into Reify, set the date range, and hit "Export Proof Bundle." The list is already generated, deduplicated, and formatted into an Audit-Grade Narrative. You hand it over in 5 minutes.

1:00 PM

The "Sample" Deep Dive

The Auditor says: "I've picked 15 samples from your list. For Sample #12 (a database schema change), show me who approved it and the proof that it passed a security scan."

Without Reify

You go to Jira. The ticket for #12 exists, but the "Approval" field is empty because Bob approved it in a Slack thread. You spend 30 minutes scrolling through Slack to find the screenshot. Then you go to Jenkins to find the build log from August to prove the scan passed.

With Reify

Each entry in the Reify Proof Bundle is a hyperlink. The auditor clicks it and sees a "Flight Record": Event: Schema Change at 14:02 UTC. Author: dev_user_01. Authorization: Linked to Jira-402 (Status: Approved by Lead_Arch). Validation: Attached checksum of the successful Snyk scan.

4:00 PM

The "Ghost Change" (The Gotcha)

The Auditor says: "I see a configuration change in your AWS CloudTrail logs from October 14th that isn't on your 'Change List'. What was this?"

Without Reify

Panic. This is the "Gap." You start an incident-style investigation. Was it a hack? An emergency patch? Nobody remembers. You spend the next 2 days trying to "reconstruct history" to prove it wasn't a breach.

With Reify

Reify's flight recorder caught the change in real-time. It's listed in the "Unlinked/Exceptions" section of the report. You had already "Attested" to it in Reify on October 15th as an "Emergency Break-Glass Fix." The narrative is already written. The auditor sees the transparency and moves on.

💡 Pro Tip: Auditors often trust a report more when it shows a "resolved exception" than when it claims 100% perfection.

The Auditor's Perspective: From "Interrogator" to "Reviewer"

From the auditor's point of view, Reify changes their job fundamentally.

1

Trust in the "Population"

Auditors hate "Population Lists" provided by clients because they know they are often incomplete. Reify's cryptographic seal gives them confidence that the list hasn't been "cherry-picked."

2

Reduced Back-and-Forth

The #1 reason audits take 3 months is the "request-response" lag. By providing a Proof Bundle where the evidence is already linked to the change, you remove 80% of their follow-up questions.

3

The "Deterministic Narrative"

Instead of the auditor having to interpret a raw JSON log, Reify gives them a human-readable sentence: "On [Date], [User] changed [Resource] following [Approval Ticket]." This goes straight into their workpapers with zero editing required.

Use Cases

Built for your worst day, not just audit convenience

The real value isn’t saving 10 minutes on screenshots. It’s being able to prove what actually happened when auditors, customers, or regulators ask hard questions.

1

Annual Audits (PCI, SOC 2)

Your auditor asks: “Show me all in-scope infrastructure changes last quarter and prove each one was authorized.” Instead of weeks of exports + narratives, you produce a single evidence bundle.

Result Complete change enumeration within boundary with linked approvals. No sampling gaps. Fewer follow-up questions.
2

Security Incidents

Something breaks. Leadership asks: “What changed in the 48 hours before this happened?” Compare point-in-time snapshots to see what changed, when, and by whom.

Result Faster incident timelines. Determine whether it was an unauthorized change, failed deployment, or configuration drift—with integrity proofs.
3

M&A Due Diligence

The acquirer asks: “Prove your security posture on the date we signed the LOI.” Pull a sealed snapshot from that date—control state and evidence artifacts.

Result Historical evidence that can’t be altered retroactively. Buyers get confidence without broad access to live systems.

We’ll show the full evidence flow: connect → recording → narratives → export bundle. No fluff. No consulting pitch. Just the artifacts and how verification works.
