Customer start path

Start your Evidence Integrity Review cleanly.

Use this page after Stripe payment, invoice request, or procurement approval. The goal is simple: confirm scope first, coordinate evidence handoff safely, then review claims against proof.

Do not attach sensitive evidence to the first email unless a secure handoff path has already been agreed. Stripe checkout is for payment only, not evidence transfer.

What to send first

Business

Who you are

Business name, point of contact, role in the review, and whether you are a contractor, MSP, RPO, consultant, or internal owner.

Scope

What needs review

Target environment, target control families if known, whether the SSP is draft or current, and whether the review is tied to a deadline.

Procurement

How you need to buy

Card payment, invoice, purchase order, vendor form, W-9 request, or other procurement requirement.

Guided evidence navigator

Use this client-side navigator before you send anything. It turns your role, packet stage, and deadline into a starter checklist and intake note. Nothing is transmitted by this tool.

This navigator is not an assessment, legal advice, or a substitute for your assessor. It is a private intake helper so your first handoff is cleaner.

Sequence after you start

For the premium version of this path, including the welcome email, handoff checklist, timeline, and sample finding format, use the client experience page.

01

Receipt and scope confirmation

Hardseal confirms the request, payer or invoice status, scope owner, target evidence set, and expected review boundaries.

02

Evidence handoff path

Hardseal provides or agrees to the handoff path before sensitive files move. The first email should identify the evidence set, not attach it.

03

Completeness check

The packet is checked for basic completeness: SSP or draft SSP, policies, exports, screenshots, tickets, logs, POA&M notes, and relevant artifacts.

04

Evidence integrity review

Hardseal reviews claims against artifacts and flags contradictions, partial support, unsupported claims, AI/boilerplate risk, and readiness gaps.

05

Findings packet

You receive findings with plain-English rationale and priorities. Timing depends on scope, evidence quality, and customer responsiveness.

06

Next decision

Your team decides whether to fix internally, request re-check, open a readiness sprint, or take the findings back to your consultant/RPO/MSP.

Evidence checklist

Most useful artifacts

  • Current SSP or draft SSP
  • Policies tied to reviewed controls
  • Screenshots and configuration exports
  • Logs, tickets, and change records
  • POA&M notes and closure claims

Help us avoid waste

  • Label folders by control or evidence type where possible
  • Separate current evidence from old drafts
  • Identify known weak spots up front
  • Tell us what deadline or review event is driving urgency
  • Do not include unrelated personal or legal material

If you are not sure what to include, start the review anyway and describe the evidence set you have. Hardseal can help identify what appears missing from the packet.

Security and boundary note

Do not send CUI, credentials, private keys, secrets, personal legal documents, or unrelated sensitive records through an unapproved channel. Hardseal will coordinate the evidence handoff path for the review. The review is evidence integrity support before formal review. It is not certification, not a formal assessment, and not a replacement for a C3PAO.

Assessment notice: Hardseal is assessment support software and evidence integrity review. Hardseal is not a C3PAO, does not certify compliance, does not make final assessment determinations, and does not replace a third-party assessor. The review helps teams find and fix evidence issues before formal review.
