Legalo compiles compliance artifacts into structured audit packs. Once generated, packs are locked and immutable. Auditors review artifacts — not scattered documents, emails, or spreadsheets.

§
Statutory Sections
Direct law references underpinning every obligation. Full regulatory lineage — section, jurisdiction, effective date, and all derived obligations.
Evidence Manifests
Complete inventory of evidence linked per obligation. Metadata, version history, SHA-256 hash, source, and full approval chain.

Compliance without
proof cannot ship

Most compliance systems generate reports even when evidence is missing. Legalo enforces proof at the artifact generation layer. The Refusal Engine validates every element — and cannot be bypassed, even by AI.

Missing evidence — an obligation cannot be satisfied without attached, hashed, verified evidence records
Missing approval — human sign-off with MFA required before any obligation reaches fulfilled state
Incomplete obligation — every mapped law section must reach full execution state before the pack can lock

Evidence Lifecycle

Evidence managed as
a ledger — not a folder

Every evidence record moves through a structured lifecycle. No evidence can skip stages. Approved versions are locked — only superseded by a new submission. The complete chain is preserved for auditors, always.

01
📝
Draft
Evidence submitted by owner — metadata, source system, period covered, and version note required before submission.
02
📤
Submitted
SHA-256 hash recorded at ingestion. Uploader, timestamp, and source locked. File enters the immutable ledger.
03
🔍
Under Review
Approver reviews against pass/fail criteria. Comment threads open. "Request more evidence" sends task back to owner without rejecting.
04a
Approved
Approver signature + MFA confirmation recorded. Version locked — no edits possible. Satisfies linked obligation.
→ Obligation satisfied
04b
Rejected
Structured rejection reason recorded. Owner notified with required changes. New version must be submitted — original is preserved in ledger.
→ Obligation blocked
05
Expired / Superseded
Expiry tracked automatically. Alerts issued before compliance gap emerges. Superseded versions retained — auditors see full history.
Classification at submission
Every evidence item tagged as Public, Internal, or Confidential at the point of upload — controls visibility for external auditors and board views.
Access controlled
Exceptions register
When evidence cannot be obtained, an accepted exception is logged with rationale and compensating controls. Auditors see the gap and its governance — not silence.
Auditor-visible
Legal hold
Evidence under legal hold cannot be deleted or expired — organisation-wide or obligation-scoped. Protects defensibility during active regulatory proceedings.
Deletion blocked
Audit Readiness

Your audit readiness

SLA metrics for evidence and approvals
Average time-to-approve evidence, overdue closure rates, and escalation frequency — all tracked. Compliance velocity is measurable and improvable.
Evidence Vault

Evidence with integrity

Evidence is stored like a ledger system — every record versioned, hashed, and traceable. Evidence cannot be overwritten, only superseded, with a full version trail preserved.

01 —
Evidence Versioning
Every update creates a new version. All prior versions retained in full. Auditors see the complete history with no gaps or overwrites possible.
02 —
SHA-256 Hashing
Cryptographic hash recorded at ingestion. Tampering detected instantly. Evidence authenticity provable at audit time — even years later.
03 —
Metadata & Timestamps
Source, author, timestamp, and obligation linkage for every item. No orphaned documents. No missing context at audit time.
04 —
Owner Accountability
Every evidence item has a named owner. Responsibility is structural — not dependent on process or memory. Cannot be diffused.

Early Access Feedback

The compliance record
that auditors trust

Feedback from compliance leaders and counsel across Indian regulated enterprises who participated in Legalo's early access programme. Outcomes reflect their specific regulatory contexts.

"
EARLY ACCESS
For the first time, our external auditors reviewed our DPDP compliance pack without requesting a single additional document. The statutory reference, evidence chain, and approval records were all in one locked artifact. Our audit closed in two days instead of three weeks.

EARLY ACCESS
The refusal engine is the feature no GRC platform has built. Our previous system would generate a compliance report even when evidence was missing — you only discovered the gap during the audit. Legalo simply refuses to proceed. That changes everything.

"
EARLY ACCESS
We manage simultaneous compliance across Companies Act, SEBI, and DPDP. Every obligation traced back to the actual statutory section, every evidence item hashed and timestamped. When the SEBI inquiry came, we handed over a locked artifact pack. The inquiry closed in a week.

How is Legalo different from GRC platforms like OneTrust or ServiceNow GRC?
+
GRC platforms track tasks, controls, and policies — they produce status reports. Legalo produces defensible artifacts: every obligation is anchored to a specific statutory section, every evidence item is cryptographically hashed, every approval is structurally recorded. Critically, Legalo's Refusal Engine blocks artifact generation if any element is missing — most GRC tools produce a report regardless. The output is what differentiates: a locked, immutable audit pack vs a dashboard that says "compliant."
Is Legalo ready for the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023?
+
Yes. DPDP Act 2023 is natively supported — statutory sections are pre-indexed in the Law Navigator, obligations are pre-mapped for Data Fiduciaries, and the Evidence Vault handles data-principal consent records with full integrity. Evidence residency is maintained within India. The audit pack format is structured to support MeitY audit requirements. Legalo also supports simultaneous compliance across DPDP, Companies Act, SEBI, and RBI from a single obligation chain.
What happens if the system refuses to generate an artifact?
+
The Refusal Engine returns a structured error state listing exactly which checks failed — missing evidence records, unsigned approvals, or obligations that have not reached full execution state. The system will not produce a partial pack. This is a feature, not a limitation — an incomplete artifact is worse than a refusal, because it creates false assurance. Users are directed to the exact gap in the compliance chain, which can then be remediated and the generation re-triggered.
Can regulators and auditors access the audit pack directly?
+
Yes. Legalo supports regulator-scoped read-only access — auditors and regulators can be granted time-limited, scoped access to specific audit packs without access to the broader compliance workspace. The pack includes statutory references, evidence manifests, approval records, and integrity hashes. No document chasing, no email threads — just the artifact.
How long does onboarding take for an enterprise?
+
Most enterprises are live with their first regulation in 4–6 weeks. The onboarding process includes: statutory mapping review for your regulatory context, integration configuration (ServiceNow, Jira, SharePoint), obligation workspace setup, team training, and a supervised first audit pack generation. Enterprise deployments with private cloud infrastructure may require 8–12 weeks depending on security review timelines.
How is evidence integrity guaranteed over time?
+
Every evidence record is SHA-256 hashed at ingestion — the hash is stored immutably in the Evidence Vault alongside the record. Evidence cannot be overwritten; only a new version can be submitted, which supersedes the previous. The hash is verifiable at any point in the future — regulators can confirm years later that a specific piece of evidence has not been tampered with since its original submission.
Does Legalo support multi-regulation and cross-entity compliance?
+
Yes. The Obligation Knowledge Graph (OKG) maps relationships between regulations — evidence submitted for one obligation can satisfy requirements under another regulation where legally permissible. For group entities and subsidiaries, Legalo supports separate obligation chains per entity with consolidated reporting for the parent. This is particularly relevant for conglomerates managing SEBI, Companies Act, and DPDP simultaneously.

Traceability & Impact Analysis

Ask the system what
changes if X fails.

The Obligation Knowledge Graph (OKG) maps every relationship in your compliance programme — law to obligation, obligation to evidence, evidence to system, system to owner. Impact analysis runs in real time.

If evidence EVD-7823 expires, what obligations go red?
"3 obligations blocked across DPDP §8 and Companies Act §134 — 1 audit pack generation suspended."
The OKG traces every obligation that depends on this evidence record. Before expiry, owners are alerted. Compliance gaps are surfaced proactively — not discovered by the auditor on day one.
EVD-7823 OBL-143 OBL-144 PACK-Q4
If ServiceNow is decommissioned, which controls are affected?
"14 evidence records sourced from ServiceNow — 6 obligations at risk across ITSM and access control categories."
System changes trigger an impact sweep across the OKG. Compliance teams see the full blast radius before the system change is executed — not after the audit finds the gap.
ServiceNow 14 Evidence 6 Obligations 2 Packs
Which evidence items satisfy obligations under both DPDP and Companies Act?
"7 evidence records satisfy obligations under both regulations — reducing duplication by 34%."
The OKG identifies cross-regulation evidence reuse where legally permissible. One piece of evidence satisfies multiple obligations — compliance effort is not duplicated across frameworks.
EVD-4412 DPDP §8+ Cos Act §134
Show all obligations where evidence was approved by the same person who submitted it.
"0 violations detected — segregation of duties enforced structurally across all 47 obligations."
The data model structurally prevents a submitter from approving their own evidence. SoD is not a policy — it is an architectural constraint. Auditors can verify this programmatically, not just on paper.
47 Obligations 0 SoD violations
Does Legalo support a board-level or CXO view separate from the compliance team workspace?
+
Yes. The Executive View gives CXOs and board members scoped, decision-grade information — compliance percentage and trend, risk heatmap by category, top penalty exposure areas, and the exceptions register. Raw evidence files, internal comments, and operational audit logs are hidden by default. A one-click Board Pack PDF exports for quarterly governance meetings, including a "what changed since last quarter" summary. The board gets governance accountability information without the noise of the operational workspace.
What is the Auditor Portal and how does it work for Big-4 / EY engagements?

The Auditor Portal is a zero-trust, read-only environment separate from the main Legalo workspace. External auditors receive scoped access to specific audit packs only — they cannot see your user list, org settings, other regulations, or evidence outside the shared pack. Every auditor action (view, download, query raised) is logged immutably. Auditors can raise structured queries within the pack — each creates a tracked task assigned to your compliance team with a timestamped response. This is the access model EY, Deloitte, KPMG, and PwC expect from enterprise compliance infrastructure.
How does Legalo handle compliance gaps, exceptions, and compensating controls?
+
When an obligation cannot be fully satisfied, Legalo records a formal exception in the Exceptions Register: the obligation, the nature of the gap, the rationale for acceptance, and the compensating control in place. Exceptions are visible to auditors in the relevant pack — with full accountability for who accepted the gap and when. A documented, governed exception is defensible. A hidden gap is a liability. The refusal engine still blocks artifact generation until the exception is formally registered and approved.
The Compliance Proof Layer

Replace compliance
explanations with proof

Legalo is the system where compliance proof is finalized — between enterprise operations and regulators. Not a dashboard. Not a workflow tool. Compliance infrastructure.

⚖️
Not a compliance dashboard
Legalo produces defensible artifacts — not charts and status indicators that mean nothing to a regulator
Not a workflow tool
Compliance execution is deterministic — not dependent on human process adherence
🏛️
Compliance infrastructure
The system where compliance proof is finalized, sealed, and delivered to auditors and regulators
