Regulatory and compliance documentation must often be prepared before it is requested. Policies, procedures, reports, and internal records are created in advance to meet legal, regulatory, or audit requirements.
Proof of Date helps organizations establish when compliance documentation existed, providing an independent, time-stamped record of key materials.
Why compliance documentation is time-stamped
- Regulators may ask when a document was created or updated
- Audits often require proof of historical policies
- Requirements change over time
- Internal records must be shown to predate an event or inquiry
By recording compliance documents as they are created or revised, organizations preserve a clear timeline of regulatory readiness.
What can be documented
- Policies and procedures
- Compliance manuals and internal guidelines
- Regulatory filings and reports
- Risk assessments and control documentation
- Training materials and attestations
Each version matters. Proof of Date allows organizations to demonstrate what was in place at a specific moment in time.
Evidence during audits and reviews
In audits, investigations, or regulatory reviews, the question is often not just what a policy says, but when it was in effect.
Proof of Date does not replace regulatory filings, approvals, or legal counsel. It supports compliance efforts by adding neutral, verifiable time evidence tied directly to the document.
Maintain integrity and control
Your documentation can remain private. Nothing need to be published or shared. You decide what is recorded and when.
Sometimes compliance comes down to one simple fact:
“This document existed on this date.”
