The archive that proves it captured everything.

Self-serve immutable archiving for email, chat, and SMS. WORM storage. One-click regulator export. And a verification dashboard that alerts you the moment any source goes silent.

In September 2022 the SEC fined 16 firms $1.1B+ for off-channel recordkeeping failures. In FY2022, recordkeeping penalties totaled $1.235B — nearly 20% of all SEC penalties that year.

Every source, proven capturing.

Not just stored — verified. Each connected source heartbeats into the archive, and every message lands hash-chained in append-only WORM storage.

Completeness proof
1
Captured at the source

Journaling, webhooks and mobile connectors feed one archive — no mailbox left unregistered.

2
Hash-chained into WORM

Every record extends a SHA-256 hash chain in append-only storage. No delete path exists.

3
Heartbeat verified

Each source is watched continuously; silence past 2× its interval fires one alert per episode.

4
Exportable on demand

CSV plus a chain-of-custody manifest: record hashes, audit head hash, integrity flags.

Chain of custody: the manifest travels with every export, so a regulator can re-verify the chain independently.

Your archiving vendor can't tell you a device stopped capturing

Regulated firms know they must keep records. The hole is capture verification — the exact failure behind a real $100,000 FINRA fine:

  • A firm had an archiving vendor — but nobody verified its people and devices were actually connected and capturing.
  • The gap went unnoticed until the regulator found it. Result: a $100,000 FINRA fine.
  • Enterprise archiving (Smarsh, Global Relay) won't give a 30-person RIA a straight price — just a six-figure quote and an implementation project.
  • Off-channel comms (text, WhatsApp) are where the enforcement wave is: the SEC's 2022 actions made that unmistakable.

We can — and we do, continuously

VerbaVault archives every message into append-only WORM storage with a hash-chained audit log — and continuously verifies that every connected source (mailbox, Slack/Teams channel, mobile device) is alive and capturing. The moment a source goes silent, you get an alert. That verification dashboard is the headline feature, because the fine happened precisely where archiving existed but verification did not.

WORM

Append-only WORM storage

Write-once-read-many: no delete or update code path exists. Every write extends a SHA-256 hash-chained audit log; tampering is detectable.

Verify

Continuous capture verification

Heartbeat tracking per source; silence past 2× the expected interval fires one alert per episode, and recovery logs the exact gap window.

Export

One-click regulator export

CSV plus a chain-of-custody manifest: record hashes, audit-log head hash, integrity flags. Hand the regulator a complete package.

Search

Full-text search

Every archived record searchable instantly — the derived FTS index is a read-only view over the immutable store.

Supervise

Supervision flagging

Lexicon-based scanning with a reviewer queue — an aid for FINRA 3110 supervision obligations, not a legal determination.

Price

A straight price, on the page

From $12/user/month with a $199 platform minimum. No quote process, no implementation project.

How it works

  1. Connect your sources

    Point your mail journaling rule at the ingestion API; add Slack/Teams webhook receivers; register mobile capture partners.

  2. Everything lands in WORM

    Each message is validated, hash-chained into append-only storage, indexed for search, and heartbeated.

  3. Verification never sleeps

    The monitor watches every source's heartbeat. Silence triggers an alert with the source, the expected interval, and the gap.

  4. Export on demand

    Search, select, export: CSV + chain-of-custody manifest, ready for the regulator.

Archive like the regulator is already asking.

From $12/user/month. $199/month platform minimum. The price is on the page.
