Cryptographically Signed Business Audit Trail
Transform compliance from a burden into confidence. Every business decision immutably recorded, digitally signed, and ready for regulatory scrutiny.
Trust and Compliance Signals
Designed for Regulated Environments
Built from the ground up to meet the stringent requirements of financial institutions and regulatory bodies.
BACEN-Aligned Security Principles
Architecture follows Central Bank of Brazil guidelines for information security and data integrity.
Cryptographic Integrity by Design
Every event is digitally signed and hash-chained, providing mathematical proof of authenticity.
The Compliance Gap
Why Traditional Logging Fails Auditors
Technical infrastructure logs were never designed for regulatory compliance. The gap between what you capture and what auditors need creates unnecessary risk.
CloudTrail and Technical Logs Fall Short
Infrastructure logs capture system events, not business decisions. When auditors ask 'Why was this transaction approved?', technical logs cannot answer.
Result: Days spent manually correlating logs across systems to reconstruct decision context.
Auditors Reject Technical Evidence
Regulatory auditors need business-level explanations, not JSON payloads and timestamps. Technical artifacts without context create compliance gaps.
Result: Audit findings due to insufficient documentation of business rationale.
Manual Explanations Introduce Risk
Reconstructing decision context months later relies on memory and interpretation. Manual documentation is inconsistent, incomplete, and legally questionable.
Result: Compliance teams scrambling to justify decisions made months ago with incomplete records.
Financial institutions need an audit trail designed for business accountability, not infrastructure monitoring.
The Solution
Audit Infrastructure Built for Financial Services
Ingera Trace bridges the gap between technical systems and regulatory requirements with a purpose-built audit trail that speaks the language of compliance.
Business-Level Audit Trail
Capture the 'why' behind every decision. Record business context, decision rationale, and actor accountability in human-readable format.
- Decision context preserved automatically
- Actor accountability at every step
- Human-readable event descriptions
Cryptographically Signed Events
Every event receives a digital signature using industry-standard algorithms. Tamper-evident by design with mathematical proof of authenticity.
- 256-bit digital signatures
- Non-repudiation guarantee
- Tamper-evident record chain
Immutable Hash Chain
Events are cryptographically linked in sequence. Any attempt to modify historical records breaks the chain and is immediately detectable.
- Sequential integrity verification
- Historical record protection
- Instant tampering detection
PII-Safe by Default
Sensitive data is automatically redacted or tokenized before storage. Maintain audit compliance without creating new privacy risks.
- Automatic PII detection
- Configurable tokenization rules
- LGPD/GDPR compatible
How It Works
Simple integration, powerful guarantees
Capture
Your system sends business events via REST API
Sign
Events are digitally signed and hash-chained
Store
Immutable storage with encryption at rest
Audit
Export verified reports for regulators
Technical Excellence
Built Different, By Design
Every architectural decision optimized for regulatory compliance, security, and operational reliability.
Digital Signature Per Event
Every audit event is individually signed using asymmetric cryptography, ensuring authenticity and non-repudiation at the record level.
Cryptographic Hash Chaining
Events are linked in an immutable sequence. Each record contains the hash of its predecessor, creating a verifiable chain of custody.
TLS 1.3 + Optional mTLS
All communications secured with modern TLS. Optional mutual TLS provides certificate-based client authentication for zero-trust environments.
Automatic PII Handling
Configurable redaction and tokenization rules automatically protect sensitive data. Maintain compliance without manual review of every event.
Auditor-Friendly Exports
Generate verified audit packages with integrity proofs. Exports include signature verification data for independent validation by auditors.

Security Architecture
Enterprise Security, No Compromises
Security is foundational, not a feature. Every layer of the architecture is designed to protect your audit data with industry-leading standards.
Transport Security
All API communications encrypted with TLS 1.3, the most current transport security standard. Certificate transparency logging enabled.
- TLS 1.3 mandatory
- Perfect forward secrecy
- Certificate pinning supported
- HSTS preload ready
Encryption at Rest
All stored data encrypted using AES-256-GCM. Encryption keys managed through dedicated hardware security modules with automatic rotation.
- AES-256-GCM encryption
- HSM-backed key management
- Automatic key rotation
- Secure key derivation
Digital Signatures
Each event receives an individual digital signature using elliptic curve cryptography. Signatures provide mathematical proof of authenticity and timing.
- ECDSA P-256 signatures
- RSA-2048 alternative
- Timestamped signing
- Signature verification API
Access Control
Fine-grained permission model with role-based access control. API keys scoped to specific operations and IP ranges.
- RBAC with custom roles
- IP allowlisting
- Scoped API keys
- Audit of access attempts
Compliance Ready
Architecture designed to support regulatory requirements for financial institutions. Built to facilitate BACEN, CVM, and international compliance frameworks.
- Audit export formats
- Retention policy controls
- Data residency options
- Compliance reporting
Infrastructure Security
Deployed on isolated infrastructure with network segmentation. Regular penetration testing and vulnerability assessments by qualified third parties.
- Network isolation

Security as a Foundation
Ingera Trace is built on the principle that audit infrastructure must be more secure than the systems it monitors. Our security architecture undergoes regular review by independent security professionals, and we maintain transparency about our security practices with enterprise customers.
Use Cases
Where Trace Makes the Difference
From routine compliance checks to regulatory examinations, see how a proper audit trail transforms your response capability.
AML Decision Tracking
Your AML system flags a transaction as potentially suspicious. An analyst reviews and clears it based on supporting documentation.
Audit asks: “Who cleared this alert and what was the rationale?”
Trace provides: Capture the analyst identity, decision rationale, supporting evidence references, and timestamp with cryptographic proof.
KYC Approval Workflow
A customer onboarding requires manual KYC review due to document discrepancies. Multiple reviewers may be involved before final approval.
Audit asks: “What was the complete review chain and approval basis?”
Trace provides: Track each reviewer action, document the verification steps taken, and maintain an immutable record of the approval chain.
Manual Override Documentation
An automated credit decision is overridden by a senior analyst who approves a loan that the system would have rejected.
Audit asks: “Why was the automated decision overridden and by whom?”
Trace provides: Record the original decision, override action, justification, approver credentials, and create a linked audit trail.
Credit Risk Decisions
Lending decisions involve credit scoring, risk assessment, and pricing determination. Each step has compliance implications.
Audit asks: “What factors influenced this lending decision?”
Trace provides: Capture decision inputs, model outputs, manual adjustments, and final terms with full context preservation.
Regulatory Audit Response
BACEN requests documentation of all credit decisions for a specific customer segment during their examination period.
Audit asks: “Provide complete decision records for the examination period.”
Trace provides: Export verified audit packages with integrity proofs, organized by the criteria specified by the regulator.
Privileged Action Logging
System administrators perform sensitive operations: configuration changes, access grants, or data modifications.
Audit asks: “What privileged actions were taken and when?”
Trace provides: Immutably record privileged operations with actor context, action details, and before/after states.
