Skip to main content
The AlgoVoi Verifiable Compliance Suite is a self-hosted, air-gap-capable compliance evidence and long-term records platform with post-quantum signatures (Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-65) and offline-verifiable integrity proofs. It is the digital-preservation and audit-evidence estate for regulated sectors (health, insurance, defense) that must keep records provably intact and confidential for decades, on their own infrastructure, with no cloud dependency and no vendor in the verification path. Last updated: 3 August 2026.
This is the on-prem bundle. One commercial licence unlocks and runs the whole compliance estate on your own infrastructure. The payment-rails estate ships separately as the Payment Rails bundle.

What it is

The Verifiable Compliance Suite is the verifiable long-term data estate for regulated sectors: health, insurance, defense, and any records that must stay provably intact and confidential for decades. It is a single encrypted deliverable. Your Falcon-1024-signed licence is both the decryption key and the runtime licence, so the whole estate installs and runs fully offline, air-gap capable, with no PyPI and no phone-home. Documents are preserved write-once in a tamper-evident, content-addressed archive: encrypted at rest, RFC-3161 timestamped, and offline-verifiable with no vendor in the loop. Post-quantum signing (Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-65) keeps the evidence verifiable as cryptography evolves, the durability that long-lived and defense records require. Records are added and removed the compliant way: a legal hold blocks deletion, then a signed erasure tombstone leaves proof the record existed while the content is irrecoverable. The Compliance Command Center re-verifies every signed chain offline and shows one proven posture, where every figure is recomputed, not asserted.

One licence, 18 components

The Substrate 2 core, the Compliance Command Center and control plane, Records Vault, Recovery Vault, Archive Auditor, the doc-archive engine with HSM, KMS, HashiCorp Vault and S3 key custody, Compliance Gate, Retention, Sanctions Monitor, Travel Rule, and the Verifiable Audit Log. One key runs them all.

Post-quantum by default

Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-65 signatures over ML-KEM-1024-sealed records. Evidence you sign today stays verifiable after the migration to post-quantum cryptography, for the decades-long windows these records must survive.

Long-term preservation

Write-once, tamper-evident, content-addressed archive. RFC-3161 trusted timestamps, legal and e-discovery holds, and signed erasure tombstones that prove a record existed while its content is cryptographically shredded.

One proven posture

The Compliance Command Center ingests every product’s signed evidence, re-verifies each chain offline, and renders one posture dashboard. Every figure is recomputed from the evidence, not vendor-asserted.

Bring your own keys

Hold the Falcon-1024 signing and ML-KEM keys in your own HSM, AWS KMS, HashiCorp Vault, or PKCS#11. AlgoVoi never sees a private key, and the signed output is unchanged so verification stays identical.

Air-gap capable, offline-verifiable

Verifies and decrypts fully offline. No network, no phone-home, no PyPI. Evidence supporting HIPAA, GDPR, eIDAS, and long-term retention mandates, verifiable from the public key alone.

What is inside

Manage from one hardened console

The Compliance Command Center is not only a posture dashboard. From one place an operator runs the regulated-records lifecycle, and every action is written to the console’s signed audit chain.

Run the estate, not just watch it

Browse and verify records, notarize and retrieve a document, place and release legal holds, work the retention and disposition queue, review every signed evidence stream (consent, custody, key rotation, redaction, read-access), and manage local accounts, all from the console.

Hardened web console

A strict Content-Security-Policy with anti-clickjacking and anti-sniff headers on every page, cookies marked Secure over HTTPS, a brute-force backoff on sign-in and the step-up re-check, and a fresh credential confirmation before sensitive actions such as notarizing, retrieving, or releasing a hold.

Two-factor sign-in

Optional authenticator-app two-factor (RFC 6238 TOTP): enroll from the Security page by scanning a QR code, opt-in then required, with no SMS or email dependency so it stays fully air-gap friendly. Every enroll and two-factor sign-in is written to the signed console audit chain.

SIEM audit forwarding

Optional live streaming of the signed audit chain to your SIEM (RFC 5424 syslog, CEF, or webhook). Each record carries the entry seq and sha256 so it ties back to the tamper-evident chain. Off unless a sink is configured, non-blocking, and never breaks the signed append.

Regulatory coverage

The evidence chains produced by the suite directly support the documentary requirements in these frameworks. Your counsel certifies compliance; the suite provides the tamper-evident, independently verifiable evidence that certification rests on.

Import at scale

Bringing an existing document estate into the Verifiable Archive is a first-class operation. The Volume Importer add-on ingests a filesystem tree, a SQLite blob table, or an S3 bucket, and lets you choose the signing strategy per import to trade granularity against throughput.

Merkle batch signing

One Falcon-1024 signature per batch over a SHA-256 Merkle root, so throughput is bounded by reading and hashing rather than signing. Every document keeps a short offline inclusion proof against the signed batch root, so it stays independently verifiable.

Per-document signing

One Falcon-1024 signature per document for maximum granularity, where each record is an independent, individually revocable signed archive entry.
Both strategies run in bridge mode (notarise content hashes, no bytes moved, the zero-disruption on-ramp) or store mode (ML-KEM-encrypt and store each blob). The import is idempotent and resumable, so a re-run skips already-committed records, and it hashes the filesystem in parallel. Throughput measured end to end on real 100 KB files read from disk with real Falcon-1024. Merkle throughput is bounded by reading and hashing rather than signing, so it scales with CPU cores (hashing runs in parallel) and MB/s is the stable figure. The ranges below span a single vCPU at the low end to a multi-core box at the high end: At those rates a ten-million-record estate at 100 KB average imports in roughly 30 to 90 minutes in merkle bridge mode (fewer cores, longer), a few hours in merkle store mode, versus days per document with per-document signing (about 20 to 56 times faster in bridge mode, widening with more cores). Larger documents lower the docs/s but hold the MB/s, so size the estimate by total bytes. Verification stays offline either way: per-document receipts for the per-document strategy, per-document inclusion proofs against the signed batch root for merkle. The Compliance Command Center re-verifies every imported chain offline, recomputed rather than asserted, and its Import page drives the importer directly over a folder, SFTP, or rsync landing zone, with an optional folder watcher for a standing feed. The Volume Importer ships inside this suite bundle and is also available as a standalone add-on to Records Vault. It requires a valid Records Vault or suite licence and is fail-closed.

Sealed encrypted containers

Hand a set of records to an auditor, regulator, or counterparty as one portable, encrypted file that only they can open, offline, with no AlgoVoi software.

Sealed to one recipient

The content key is wrapped with ML-KEM-1024 to the recipient’s post-quantum public key, so only that recipient can open the container. The body is AES-256-GCM encrypted under a Falcon-1024-signed header that is verified before anything is decrypted.

Hide names and titles

Optional opaque-names mode keeps document filenames and the container title out of the cleartext header; the real names travel encrypted in the body and are restored only after decryption.

Revoke after you send it

Revoke a container from the Command Center. The issuer publishes a signed revocation list and the offline extractor refuses to open a revoked container, even one already delivered.

Key-loss recovery

Two options, chosen per container. Split the content key into k-of-n custodian shares (audited Shamir SLIP-39) so any k custodians reconstruct it if the recipient’s key is lost, shares shown once and never stored. Or mark a container console-recoverable, and the Command Center recovers it 100% on its own from a console-held key with no custodians. Recipient-only stays the default.

Create and revoke from the console

The Compliance Command Center creates and revokes containers, signed by the console key, and shows a live issued, active, and revoked posture.
The recipient opens it with a self-contained extractor that imports no AlgoVoi software:
Every unsealed document is checked against the signed header’s SHA-256 before it is written, and document names that try to escape the output directory are refused, so a tampered or malicious container never yields a document or writes outside where you asked.

Updates you control

Upgrades reach your deployment only when you ask for them. There is no phone-home: online update checks are off by default, and the console never contacts the network on its own.

From the console, on demand

An operator enables online checks and presses Check; only then does the console make a single request to pip.algovoi.co.uk. It shows what is available and applies it on approval. No timers, no background polling, and it is one switch to turn off again.

Signed and verified before install

Every release is Falcon-1024-signed by AlgoVoi. The console verifies the signature first, then checks the downloaded bundle and every wheel against the signed manifest, before anything is installed. Nothing unsigned is ever run.

Air-gap friendly

No connectivity? Transfer the same signed update package onto the host and apply it from a file with no network at all. Identical verification either way.

Operator-approved and audited

Updates are never auto-applied. Every check and apply is written to the console’s signed, offline- verifiable audit chain, and the previous version is retained for rollback.

Supply-chain provenance

Enterprise security reviews and regulated procurement ask for a Software Bill of Materials and a signed build provenance in their own format. The suite ships both with every download, and the same offline tool lets you regenerate and verify them yourself. No network call is involved, so it fits the air-gap posture of the rest of the suite.

SBOM in the format you need

A full Software Bill of Materials for the bundle in both CycloneDX 1.5 and SPDX 2.3 JSON. Every component is pinned by SHA-256 with its pkg:pypi/... package URL and declared licence, ready to load straight into Dependency-Track, Grype, or your procurement portal.

Signed build provenance

A SLSA Provenance v1 attestation (in-toto) that pins the bundle and both SBOM files by digest, signed offline with the AlgoVoi release key (Falcon-1024 over RFC 8785 canonical bytes), the same key that signs the release manifest. One published public key verifies it.

Verify it yourself, offline

algovoi-sbom verify checks three things with no network access: the provenance signature validates under the release key, every pinned subject digest matches the file on disk, and every SBOM component hash matches its wheel. All three must pass. The SBOM is reproducible, so it can be pinned and rechecked.

Air-gap CVE matching

Drop an OSV advisory feed you exported once next to the SBOM and algovoi-sbom cve matches your pinned components against it entirely offline. The same SBOM also feeds your own scanner, so this is a convenience, not the only path.

Buy and install

The suite is a one-time purchase on a perpetual licence, self-serve from the suite store. The flow is pay, download, key:
  1. Pay the one-time licence fee. On settlement you receive a download link and your Falcon-1024 bundle licence.
  2. Download the single encrypted deliverable (bundle.algv) plus the offline extractor.
  3. Key: your licence decrypts and installs the whole estate, and runs it. The same key is the runtime licence.
The extractor verifies your licence against AlgoVoi’s issuer key, then decrypts and writes each wheel with a SHA-256 integrity check. Nothing installs unless the licence is valid and unexpired, and it all happens with no network access. For the full walk-through (accounts, roles, two-factor sign-in, every console page, the security model, and a verification checklist), see the Compliance Suite deployment guide.
Not the payment estate. The Verifiable Compliance Suite is the compliance and long-term-data half. If you need the agentic payment rails (x402, MPP, AP2, A2A across seven chains), that is the separate Payment Rails bundle.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AlgoVoi Verifiable Compliance Suite?

The Verifiable Compliance Suite is a self-hosted compliance evidence and long-term records platform. It preserves documents write-once in a tamper-evident, content-addressed archive, signs every evidence chain with post-quantum cryptography (Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-65), and lets anyone verify integrity offline from the public key alone, with no AlgoVoi software or network call in the trust path.

Is the Verifiable Compliance Suite self-hosted or cloud?

It is fully self-hosted and air-gap capable. The entire estate installs and runs on your own infrastructure from a single encrypted deliverable, with no cloud service, no phone-home, and no PyPI dependency at runtime. A Falcon-1024 licence is both the decryption key and the runtime licence, so nothing contacts AlgoVoi to install, run, or verify.

Is it a self-hosted alternative to Preservica and Arkivum?

Yes. Preservica and Arkivum are cloud-first managed preservation platforms. The Verifiable Compliance Suite runs the equivalent long-term preservation estate on your own servers under your own keys, adds post-quantum signatures and offline-verifiable integrity that those platforms do not offer, and is licensed once perpetually rather than as an annual subscription. See the Arkivum alternative and Preservica alternative pages for the detailed comparison.

What makes the archive tamper-evident?

Every record is stored write-once in a content-addressed archive and bound into a Falcon-1024-signed hash chain. Altering, reordering, or removing any record breaks the signature, which anyone can detect offline. Records are removed the compliant way: a legal hold blocks deletion, and a signed erasure tombstone leaves cryptographic proof the record existed after its content is shredded.

How does post-quantum signing protect long-term records?

Records that must survive for decades will outlive today’s classical signature algorithms once a cryptographically relevant quantum computer exists. The suite signs with Falcon-1024 and ML-DSA-65 (both NIST post-quantum standards) and seals with ML-KEM-1024, so evidence signed today stays verifiable through the post-quantum migration rather than becoming forgeable.

Can the evidence be verified offline or in an air-gapped environment?

Yes. Verification needs only the record, its signature, and the published public key. There is no issuer call, no registry lookup, and no network dependency, so an auditor or regulator checks the evidence on an air-gapped machine using a bundled offline verifier. Sealed containers (.acv) open with a self-contained extractor that imports no AlgoVoi software.

Which regulations does the suite provide evidence for?

The suite produces the tamper-evident, independently verifiable evidence underlying HIPAA (audit controls and integrity), GDPR (right to erasure, integrity and confidentiality), eIDAS (RFC-3161 qualified timestamps), 21 CFR Part 11 (IQ/OQ/PQ validation), EU AI Act Articles 12/19/26 record-keeping, and MiCA/DORA logging. Your counsel certifies compliance; the suite provides the evidence certification rests on.

How much does the Verifiable Compliance Suite cost?

It is a one-time purchase on a perpetual licence, bought self-serve from the suite store. One licence installs and runs the whole estate (Substrate 2 core, Compliance Command Center, Records Vault, and the full evidence stack) with no per-seat or per-record fee and no recurring subscription.

How do I verify a record without AlgoVoi software?

Each record recomputes from its own canonical bytes: canonicalise under RFC 8785 (JCS), hash with SHA-256, and check the Falcon-1024 signature against the published public key. The conformance corpus ships a first-principles verifier that rebuilds the bytes with standard libraries only, so the result is a property of open standards, not of AlgoVoi’s code.
