Guardian Audit Service

Produce auditable intake decisions tied to source, hashes, manifests, risk, and policy.

PROTOTYPEEvidence / intake verification

The Problem

Security decisions need provenance. Claims about intake safety should be backed by verifiable evidence showing what was analyzed, what policies applied, what risks were found, and what the guard decision was.

The Approach

The audit service generates receipt records for each intake decision containing: source provenance, artifact hashes, manifest hashes, risk assessments, policy state, guard decision, findings, lifecycle state, and verification scope. This creates an immutable audit trail for every piece of content that passes through Guardian.

What Exists Today

  • ✓Working prototype generates receipt records
  • ✓Demonstrates source, hash, manifest, risk, and policy checks
  • ✓Receipt generation implemented

//What It Does Not Prove

What this project does not prove.

  • ✗Prototype only
  • ✗Not production hardened
  • ✗No live deployment demonstrated
  • ✗Independent certification not established

Evidence

Generate auditable intake receipt records with source provenance, artifact hashes, manifest hashes, risk assessments, policy state, and guard decisions

PROTOTYPE
Artifact: Guardian Audit Service
Version: prototype
Environment: Local development
Date: 2026-08

Result:

Receipt generation implemented with source, hash, manifest, risk, and policy checks. Each intake decision produces a structured receipt record.

//Verification Boundary

Prototype only. Not production hardened. No live deployment demonstrated. Independent certification not established. Threat coverage and benchmark validation incomplete.
