Challenges

-
Audit gaps Auditors struggle to prove compliance without immutable records.
Context
How Orqit approaches this
Users define approval policies (e.g., change requests over $10k require CFO sign-off). The engine evaluates each request, routes to required approvers, tracks status, and records a tamper-evident audit log. Approvers receive contextual information and can approve or reject with a single click, triggering downstream workflows automatically.
