NIST-aligned controls
Architecture can be mapped to applicable NIST control families and agency security requirements.
Technology
Cryptographically verifiable by design.
An evidence architecture built around provenance, integrity validation, immutable chronology, controlled access, and configurable agency policy.
Architecture
Evidence stays linked to its origin.
IntegrityHawk creates a durable relationship among the source artifact, its cryptographic fingerprint, the user or system action, the time of the event, and the resulting package.
- SHA-256 or configured hash generation
- Digital signature and timestamp metadata
- Append-only event chronology
- Off-chain storage for sensitive content
- Verification without altering the source artifact
Chain Verification passed

Security and compliance alignment
Deployment controls should be mapped to the agency's authorization boundary, data classification, system security plan, and legal requirements.
CJIS-sensitive workflows
Identity, access, encryption, logging, and handling controls can be configured for CJIS-governed environments.
FedRAMP / ATO boundary
Deployment may operate within an authorized cloud or partner boundary, subject to the specific implementation and agency approval.
Legal admissibility is determined by the court and the facts of the matter.
IntegrityHawk is designed to produce verifiable artifacts and certification materials that can support agency use of Federal Rule of Evidence 902(14). Agency counsel should approve the workflow and certification form before production use.
