Boring parts, handled.

The unglamorous half of a verification platform. Signed, audited, residency-aware - so your security review takes a meeting, not a quarter.

  • SOC 2 in flight
    Type II audit underway with a Big-4 firm. Current controls public on request.
  • Signed webhooks
    HMAC-SHA256 over the payload, rotated keys, replay-safe timestamps. No more "did this fire?"
  • Idempotency keys
    Same key, same decision, billed once. Safe to retry from a flaky mobile network.
  • On-continent residency
    Data stays in Nairobi, Mogadishu and Hargeisa. No silent hop through Frankfurt or Virginia.
  • Immutable audit log
    Every verification, key issue, and config change - append-only, signed, exportable for regulators.
  • Typed everything
    OpenAPI 3.1 spec, generated SDKs, errors with machine codes. No string-matching the failure mode.
