COMPLIANCE · Live since 2026-05-08

Compliance is documented after the fact. HiveComply proves it as it happens.

Eleven framework profiles — SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, SOX, DORA, NIST CSF 2.0, FedRAMP, ISO/IEC 42001 — answered from one cryptographically-anchored receipt stream. SOC 2 Type II evidence packs that took twelve weeks of forensic reconstruction now resolve in three days. A regulated enterprise spending $50K–$500K a year on Drata, Vanta, ServiceNow GRC, OneTrust, or AuditBoard keeps those tools and runs HiveComply underneath them as the cryptographic evidence layer auditors actually verify.

The ROI on a single audit cycle

HiveComply ingests events from the Hive verticals stack — DeedLock, ProcureLock, TradeGuard, prove.birth, CLEAR, NewsShield, LEX-Contract, ALCOA+, HIPAA-Hive, StormLock — or any internal event bus you already run. Every event becomes a dual-signed receipt mapped to one or more framework controls. The numbers a CISO reports to the audit committee are these.

SOC 2 audit cost
$35K–$147K
Median annual range for SOC 2 Type II per AICPA SOC guidance. Cryptographic evidence cuts auditor hours 50–70% — the line item that drives the invoice.
EU AI Act exposure
EUR 35M
or 7% of global revenue, whichever is higher, per the EU AI Act. Article 12 requires tamper-evident logs verifiable by competent authorities; HiveComply produces them as a side effect of every event.
GDPR fines, 2024
EUR 4.49B
Cumulative fines on the CMS GDPR Enforcement Tracker. Tamper-evident records of processing, breach-notice timing, and DPIA evidence are the controller’s defense under Articles 5, 25, 30, 32, 33, 35.
HIPAA breach cost
$9.77M
Average healthcare breach per the IBM Cost of a Data Breach 2024 report. Cryptographically-bound access, modification, and transmission logs are the 45 CFR § 164.312 audit-control safe harbor.
Per-event cost
$0.0001
$0.0001 per event at Pro and Enterprise tiers (volume pricing below). A 1M-event-per-month enterprise lands between $100 and $1,000 / month on receipts. Free tier covers 1,000 events / month read-only.
Time to integrate
< 1 day
Drop the SDK in your existing event bus — Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub, EventBridge, NATS — or wrap your audit-log shipper. HiveComply ingests, signs, and indexes. No data model changes, no UI changes.

A regulated enterprise running roughly five million compliance-relevant events a month across SOC 2 + ISO 27001 + GDPR + HIPAA spends about $500 / month on receipts at the Pro overage rate. That is a rounding error against a single audit invoice and a smaller rounding error against a single regulatory penalty.

For regulated enterprises

HiveComply is a horizontal evidence layer over Drata, Vanta, ServiceNow GRC, OneTrust, and AuditBoard — not a replacement. Those platforms own workflow, policy management, and vendor risk lifecycle. HiveComply owns the cryptographic evidence those platforms reference. Banks, insurers, hospital systems, fintechs, public companies, and defense contractors keep their existing GRC investment and bind it to a tamper-evident receipt stream auditors verify offline.

Evidence layer, not another GRC

GRC platforms document compliance after the fact. They collect screenshots, schedule control owners, and warehouse policy artifacts. HiveComply does one thing they do not: it produces the cryptographically-anchored receipt that every collected artifact ought to be sitting on. That separation is the point.

LAYER 3
GRC platforms — Drata, Vanta, ServiceNow GRC, OneTrust, AuditBoard, MetricStream, LogicGate. Workflow, policy, vendor risk, control owners, audit calendar.
LAYER 2
HiveComply evidence layer. Dual-signed receipts mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, SOX, DORA, NIST CSF 2.0, FedRAMP, ISO/IEC 42001. One ingest, eleven frameworks, offline verifiable.
LAYER 1
Base 8453 anchoring · Ed25519 (RFC 8032) + ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) · USDC settlement via x402 · CBOR-canonical envelopes.

Every regulated enterprise produces the same kind of evidence under different framework names. The evidence is platform-neutral — that is what makes it defensible to an auditor, a regulator, or a court.

How HiveComply makes a SOC 2 Type II audit fall apart in three days instead of three months

A specific, narrated example. The audit is for the period 2026-05-01..2026-05-08. Trust Services Criteria, Common Criteria CC6.1 — logical and physical access controls. Standard scope.

01
The auditor opens the HiveComply dashboard with a read-only auditor token. No screen-share, no rummaging through Jira, no exporting CSVs from five different SaaS tools.
02
Auditor selects framework: SOC 2 Type II. The framework profile YAML resolves to all five Trust Services Categories with their CC and supplemental criteria mapped to HiveComply event types.
03
Auditor selects control: CC6.1 (logical access). The dashboard returns 12,847 dual-signed access events for the period — every privileged login, every IAM mutation, every break-glass session, with prior-event chain pointers.
04
Auditor calls hivecomply_bundle_export with framework, control, and period. HiveComply emits a canonical evidence bundle — CBOR envelope, SHA-256 manifest, dual signatures — plus an offline verifier binary. Bundle hash is recorded in the audit workpaper.
05
Auditor runs the verifier on a clean laptop with no network. hivecomply_bundle_verify walks every receipt, checks Ed25519 + ML-DSA-65, validates chain pointers, reconciles the manifest. Output: OK 12847/12847.
06
SOC 2 Type II evidence for CC6.1 is signed off in three days instead of three months. The same bundle answers ISO/IEC 27001 A.9 (Access Control) and HIPAA 45 CFR § 164.312(a) without re-collection.

Live verification — what an auditor sees

The bundle is CBOR-canonical and verifies offline against the issuer’s published public keys — no Hive call required at audit time. The panel below is the same shape every auditor renders.

That panel is the entire product surface an auditor needs. No demo. No login. The evidence is its own proof, and the proof works in fifty years on a laptop with no internet.

Frameworks — what HiveComply proves

Eleven framework profiles ship in the box. Each profile maps HiveComply event types to the specific controls a regulator, auditor, or examiner asks for. The third column is what receipts produce that a screenshot-based GRC stack does not.

3-step integration path

01
Drop the SDK in your event bus. Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub, EventBridge, NATS, or wrap your existing audit-log shipper (Splunk, Datadog, Elastic, Sumo). One sidecar per environment. No customer-facing UI changes.
02
Map your existing event types to framework controls via the included framework profile YAML files. One event — iam_mutation, for instance — maps to SOC 2 CC6.1, ISO 27001 A.9.2, HIPAA 164.312(a), PCI DSS 8.x, NIST CSF PR.AC simultaneously.
03
Hand auditors the dashboard. They log in with a read-only token, pick framework + control + period, export a canonical bundle, verify offline with the included verifier, and your control owners work on something else.

The compliance envelope

Every hivecomply_event_ingest call returns an envelope containing event id, event type, framework codes, control codes, subject DID, actor DID, evidence hash, prior-event id, timestamp, and dual signatures (Ed25519 + ML-DSA-65). The signatures bind every field. Any tamper attempt invalidates verification.

The envelope is CBOR-canonical. Verification works offline against the issuer’s published public keys. ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) is the post-quantum signature; Ed25519 (RFC 8032) provides classical assurance. Both must verify for the receipt to be valid. Receipts remain valid through key rotation via signed key history.

What this is not

Calibrated expectations are part of the product. HiveComply is narrow on purpose.

NOT
A replacement for Drata, Vanta, ServiceNow GRC, OneTrust, or AuditBoard. We are the evidence layer those platforms reference.
NOT
A SIEM. We do not detect threats, correlate alerts, or run hunts.
NOT
A SOAR. We do not orchestrate response or run playbooks.
NOT
An audit firm. We produce evidence; auditors form opinions.
NOT
An attestation that the control itself is correctly designed. Design is your CISO’s job. Operation is what we prove.
NOT
A policy management system. Policies are documents; receipts are facts.
IS

The cryptographically-anchored evidence layer that all of those tools should be sitting on. SIEMs, SOARs, GRC platforms, audit firms, and policy systems all run cleaner with a dual-signed receipt under each compliance-relevant event.

Cross with DeedLock, ProcureLock, TradeGuard, or prove.birth when those verticals are in scope — HiveComply ingests their receipts natively, so a single audit answers across every Hive vertical your enterprise uses.

A real conversation, not a demo black hole

If the evidence-layer framing fits the way you already think about audit cycles, the fastest path is a direct note. No qualification gate, no SDR. Steve reads them.

Frequently asked

Questions buyers actually ask

What does HiveComply prove?

Compliance is documented after the fact. HiveComply proves it as it happens. One cryptographic evidence stream answers SOC 2, ISO 27001, EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, SOX, DORA, NIST CSF 2.0, FedRAMP, and ISO/IEC 42001 from a single dashboard.

Does HiveComply replace my GRC tool?

No. HiveComply is the cryptographic evidence layer underneath the GRC tools, attestation auditors, and policy systems already in place. Receipts drop into existing audit workflows; auditors verify offline.

How fast is a SOC 2 Type II window?

Standard SOC 2 Type II evidence collection is three months of after-the-fact log scraping. With HiveComply the evidence stream is already cryptographically captured, so the auditor's evidence pull becomes three days.

How are receipts verified?

Each evidence event is bound to a dual-signed (Ed25519 + ML-DSA-65) post-quantum-ready receipt. ML-DSA-65 (NIST FIPS 204) is the post-quantum signature; Ed25519 (RFC 8032) provides classical assurance. Both must verify for the receipt to be valid.

Which frameworks are covered today?

SOC 2, ISO 27001, EU AI Act, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0, SOX, DORA, NIST CSF 2.0, FedRAMP, and ISO/IEC 42001. Field semantics align with each framework's evidence taxonomy.

What does HiveComply cost?

Per-event evidence pricing across the eleven aligned frameworks. Annual contracts for regulated enterprises with multi-framework scope. Settlement is in USDC on Base 8453 via x402.

Hive runs the receipt rail underneath the broader A2A · agent-to-agent commerce category.
