Arkova is a compliance audit automation platform in early access, built on top of a production-grade, cryptographically-anchored evidence layer. The audit-automation product — scorecard, gap detection, remediation, regulatory-change alerts, PDF export — is being built and refined with pilot customers.

How much faster is an audit with Arkova going to be vs. the manual process?

Typical compliance audits take weeks: compiling evidence across many tools, mapping it to controls, and producing a report. Arkova is designed to map evidence to the rules in your operating regimes automatically, rank gaps by severity and penalty risk, and produce an audit-ready export. Our pilot target is collapsing weeks of audit prep into hours.

Which regulations are on the roadmap?

US federal (FERPA, HIPAA, SOX, FCRA, GLBA, ADA, FLSA, GINA), EU/UK GDPR, Kenya DPA, Australia APP, Canada PIPEDA, Singapore PDPA, Japan APPI, India DPDP, South Africa POPIA, Nigeria NDPR, Colombia Law 1581, Thailand PDPA, and Malaysia PDPA. Prioritized by pilot-customer footprint.

What will the scorecard show?

A per-jurisdiction posture score and breakdown, a severity-ranked gap list, a prioritized remediation plan, a regulatory-change feed, and an audit-ready export. Designed for GRC leads, CISOs, internal audit, and outside counsel.

Is the evidence chain auditor-grade?

The evidence layer is cryptographic and independently verifiable: every anchor is a SHA-256 fingerprint committed to a public network, and lifecycle events are in an append-only audit log. Our own SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 work is in progress.

Is my data safe? Do you see our documents?

No. Documents never leave your device. Fingerprinting is client-side. Only PII-stripped metadata flows to our systems. Even if we were breached, your documents remain private because we never had them.

Join the waitlist on arkova.ai. We reach out to scope pilots — the best fits right now are compliance teams operating across multiple jurisdictions who are tired of the quarterly audit fire drill.

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 1, 2026 | Last Updated: March 18, 2026

Our Foundational Guarantee

Your documents never leave your device. This is not a feature — it is the architectural foundation of Arkova. Document fingerprinting (SHA-256) runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. We never receive, store, process, or have access to your original files.

What We Collect

Document fingerprints: A one-way cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of your file. This cannot be reversed to reconstruct the original document.

Account information: Email address, name, and organization name when you create an account.

Credential metadata: Issuer name, credential type, issue/expiry dates, and field labels — never raw document text or PII.

Usage data: Page views, feature usage, and API call counts for service improvement.

What We Never Collect

Original documents, PDFs, images, or file contents
Raw OCR text from your documents
Social Security numbers, student IDs, or other PII from documents
Browsing history outside of arkova.ai

AI Metadata Processing

When AI-powered extraction is enabled, only PII-stripped structured metadata (credential type, issuer, dates, field labels) may be sent to our servers for processing. Client-side PII stripping removes all personally identifiable information before anything leaves your browser. Raw OCR text and document bytes are never transmitted.

Data Security

All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest. Database access is enforced through Row Level Security (RLS) — every table has mandatory tenant isolation. API keys are hashed with HMAC-SHA256. Audit events are logged to an append-only, PII-scrubbed audit trail.

Your Rights

You may request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. We support GDPR right-to-erasure, including anonymization of audit log entries. Contact hello@arkova.ai to exercise your rights.

Public Verification

Credential verification is public by design. Anyone with a verification link or QR code can confirm a document's status and timestamp. No account is required. Only the credential's public ID and non-sensitive metadata are exposed — never the document itself or the holder's personal information.
