Cryptographic Audit Defence
Hand the auditor a Merkle-signed evidence pack. Not a spreadsheet.
When a vendor audit notice arrives, most organisations scramble to reconstruct a compliance position from stale spreadsheets, partial CMDB exports, and memory. Mima maintains a continuously updated, cryptographically signed record of your deployment state — every hardware allocation, licence assignment, and configuration change is hash-linked in a Merkle tree. You hand the auditor a verified evidence pack.
Every finding includes its source row reference, the calculation applied, the confidence score, and the Merkle hash linking it to the full estate snapshot. If an auditor disputes a position, you can demonstrate mathematical proof of state at any point in time. That is the difference between a negotiation and a conversation.
