A lightweight, memory-safe cryptographic sidecar that adds FDA 21 CFR Part 11 digital signatures, Merkle-chained audit trails, and automatic storage drift detection to your open-source research stack.
Tools like eLabFTW or REDCap are great for early R&D. But standard relational databases can't prove to FDA inspectors that a DBA didn't modify historical data.
Proprietary platforms (Benchling, Dotmatics) demand $1,500–$5,000 per user, per year with multi-year minimum contracts, locking your intellectual property into their silo.
Keep your open-source tools. DeepVault sits as a microservice gateway in Docker, managing your storage with cryptographic immutability and instant FDA certificate generation.
Raw files never touch our servers or an external vendor. The browser streams directly to your private AWS S3 or MinIO bucket via short-lived pre-signed URLs. Complete data sovereignty.
Every read, write, upload, and signature generates a SHA-256 hash mathematically linked to the record before it. Access is denied if the ledger write fails. If a single row is modified by an attacker, the chain mathematically breaks.
A background daemon continuously audits S3 object baselines. If an AWS administrator or rogue process modifies a file out-of-band in storage, DeepVault locks the file, flags it as COMPROMISED, and sounds an alarm.
Multi-factor e-signatures bind meaning, actor identity, and payload hashes. Export standalone, digitally-sealed Verification Certificates with one click to hand directly to FDA inspectors.
