§ PLATFORM / COMPLIANCE EVIDENCE
Compliance evidence an auditor can check without trusting you
Execlave turns what your AI agents did into evidence: a compliance report signed with RSA-PSS, an audit package with a SHA-256 package hash, and CSV or JSON exports. Your auditor can verify the report offline, with the steps below.
§ WHAT YOU HAND OVER
Four pieces of evidence, one source
All four are built from the same records: the hash-chained audit log, your policies, approvals and agent registry.
Four pieces of evidence, one source
01 / Artifact
Signed compliance report
One report per period and framework selection, as JSON, HTML or PDF. The JSON is signed with RSA-SHA256-PSS over its canonical form, and the public key travels inside the report. HTML and PDF show the signature and the steps to check it.
02 / Artifact
Audit package
The newest 10,000 audit log entries for a date range, the result of the hash-chain check, how much of the chain is content-verifiable, and a SHA-256 hash over all entries. The verification steps are inside the package.
03 / Artifact
CSV and JSON exports
Traces and the audit log as CSV or JSON, up to 10,000 rows per request. Trace exports filter by date range, agent, status and environment; audit log exports by date range.
04 / Artifact
Report history
Every JSON report is saved, so a viewer can reopen last quarter's report as it was signed. Generating a report writes an audit log entry, and if that entry cannot be written, the request fails instead of returning an unlogged report.
§ INSIDE THE REPORT
What the signed report contains
Everything below is inside the signed body, so none of it can be changed after signing without the signature failing.

§ FRAMEWORKS BY PLAN
Which frameworks each plan can report on
Admins generate reports in the dashboard or through GET /api/v1/compliance/report. Any member can open saved reports.
Which frameworks each plan can report on
| Plan | Frameworks in the report |
|---|---|
| Free, Trial | Not included |
| Starter | GDPR, EU AI Act, OWASP ASI |
| Professional | GDPR, EU AI Act, OWASP ASI, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, ISO 27001:2022 |
| Enterprise | All of the above, plus PCI DSS and NIST AI RMF |
Prices and limits are on the pricing page.
§ VERIFY
How to verify a signed compliance report
The same five steps work offline with any RSA library. Execlave also runs steps 2 to 4 for you at POST /api/v1/compliance/verify-signature.
How to verify a signed compliance report
Take the JSON report
Download the JSON from the dashboard or request GET /api/v1/compliance/report with format=json. The HTML and PDF versions show the signature, but the signed bytes come from the JSON.
Remove the signature fields
Delete signatureInfo from the report object, and signingStatus if it is present. Neither is part of the signed bytes.
Canonicalise the rest
Serialise the remaining object as JSON with object keys sorted recursively and no whitespace, encoded as UTF-8.
Check the signature
Verify the base64 signature in signatureInfo.signature over those bytes with RSA-PSS and SHA-256, against signatureInfo.publicKey. If it fails, the report changed after it was signed.
Check who signed it
A valid signature proves the report is intact since it was signed with that key, not who signed it. Fetch /.well-known/execlave-signing-keys.json from the issuing deployment's API host (Execlave Cloud: https://api.execlave.com/.well-known/execlave-signing-keys.json), find the entry whose kid equals signatureInfo.keyId, and verify the signature again with that entry's publicKey, not the key inside the report. The keyId is not signed, so a match on the ID alone proves nothing. Keys from before a rotation stay listed as retired; for reports without a keyId, compare the keys in DER form, not as PEM text.
The audit package is checked differently: re-derive each entry's hash, check the chain links and recompute the package hash. Those steps are on the audit trail page.
§ FAQ
Compliance evidence, answered
Compliance evidence, answered
Is an Execlave compliance report a certification?
No. The report is evidence for your audit. It shows what your controls did in a period and where they fall short. Whether your organisation meets a framework is your auditor's call, and Execlave itself is not certified against these frameworks.
Can an auditor verify a report without access to Execlave?
Yes. The public key is inside the report, and the five steps above need only the JSON file and a standard RSA library. The verify-signature endpoint is a convenience, not a requirement.
What if signing is not set up on a deployment?
The report says so. An unsigned report carries a signingStatus field with the reason (keys not configured, keys misconfigured, or signing failed), and the HTML and PDF versions state that the report is not signed.
Does the report hide gaps?
No. Controls that are not met are listed with a risk level and a gap note. The report also states how many allowed actions have a confirmed outcome and how many calls ran without a server decision, so silence is never read as success.
How far back can a report go?
As far as the data is kept. The audit log is kept for one year on every plan, and traces for your plan's retention period. Saved reports keep what they showed when they were generated.
What is the difference between the report and the audit package?
The report summarises a period against frameworks and is signed. The audit package is the raw audit log entries with a SHA-256 package hash, for an auditor who wants to re-check the chain entry by entry.
Execlave produces evidence for your compliance work. It does not give legal advice, an audit opinion or a certification.
