The problem

What an auditor asks for is a record of your process.

The questions are consistent. Where did this come from. When did you know. Who checked it. What did you do next. A monitoring tool that answers only the first question leaves you assembling the other 3 by hand under deadline.

The stakes are set in statute. Under GDPR Article 83(5) the most serious infringements carry administrative fines up to 20,000,000 EUR, or up to 4% of total worldwide annual turnover, whichever is higher. DLA Piper puts aggregate GDPR fines reported since May 2018 at 7.1 billion EUR as of 10 January 2026, with roughly 1.2 billion EUR issued during 2025.

The traceability trio, on every record

Source URL

The address the record was read from, stored in full and resolvable. A response checksum is kept so you can show the page has not been swapped underneath you.

A European Commission news article on packaging waste regulation, extracted into a Matterwire record that keeps the exact source URL for verification.A UK GOV.UK policy paper on environmental permitting reforms, captured into a Matterwire record with its exact publication and capture timestamps.An FCA press release on consumer duty rules, identified and verified into a Matterwire record carrying the verifier ID who checked it.An ESMA press release on sustainability-related fund names, kept as evidence in a Matterwire record with its 5-event audit trail and export options.

The record, and the trail behind it

This is the full record, not a summary of it. Every field an examiner asks for — source URL, capture timestamp, verifier ID, confidence — is already on it.
