Where the ledger lives, and who can reach it.
You are handing us your client’s books. That deserves a straight answer rather than a badge wall, so this page says what is in place today and nothing more.
In place today
What the system actually does.
Each record states one control as a buyer can read it, and names the part of the product it comes from. Nothing here describes work that is planned.
-
India data residency
Client ledgers and uploaded documents are held in object storage in India, in Google Cloud’s Mumbai region. AI features run on Gemini in Mumbai through OpenRouter, with zero data retention. If your engagement terms need the residency stated in writing, ask and we will put it in the agreement.
EvidenceGoogle Cloud asia-south1 (Mumbai); OpenRouter zero data retention
-
Role-based access
Firm admin, senior auditor and junior auditor each see only what their role permits, enforced on the server rather than hidden in the interface.
EvidenceBackend require_roles enforcement; frontend RoleGuard
-
Every action is logged
Who opened what, who reviewed a flag, who proposed an adjustment from one, and when — each recorded against the user who did it.

-
Session-based authentication
Sign-in uses httpOnly cookies with short-lived access tokens and refresh rotation. No token is exposed to page scripts.
EvidenceCookie-based JWT auth, access plus refresh
-
Client portal is deliberately narrow
Your client signs in to send documents and to download the reports your firm has chosen to share. The findings queue, review notes and working papers are not shown there, and nothing reaches a client unless the firm decided to share it.
EvidencePortal endpoints scoped to document upload and firm-shared reports; separate portal identity
-
Tenant isolation
Every record is scoped to a firm. Another practice using the platform cannot see your work.
EvidenceFirm-scoped multi-tenancy across the data model
