Open with an executive summary that HIPAA, SOC 2, and ISO 27001
are organizational programs. Verae DataCubes supply store,
communicate, timestamp, verify, and audit tools for the technical
portion only. Chapters cover transit (HPKE, visible routing), rest
(IPFS/Peergos hash-verified restore), receipts, EU Peergos
evaluations (Cure53 2019, ROS 2024), cross-blockchain timestamping,
and write-once Iceberg archive. PDF is branded with the Verae logo

# Making yourself audit-ready with Verae DataCubes
**Software alone does not make an organization HIPAA certified,
SOC 2 attested, or ISO 27001 certified.**
The Verae DataCube Solution gives you tools to **store**,
**communicate**, **timestamp**, **verify**, and **audit**. To
obtain those certifications and attestations, the organization
still has to write **policies**, run **procedures**, operate
**internal controls**, and sit with an **independent auditor**.
Verae provides the tools, the background, and the software
infrastructure for the **technical portion** of that work.
A Verae DataCube Server Solution provides secure communications
and storage for **data in transit** and **data at rest**:
point-to-point encryption (routing remains visible), IPFS
content-addressed encryption at rest with Peergos hash
verification, global timestamped receipts, and a write-once
Iceberg archive.
Peergos was independently evaluated **twice in Europe** (Cure53,
Berlin, 2019; Radically Open Security, Amsterdam, 2024). Those
reports are public component evaluations. They are **not** a
HIPAA, SOC 2, or ISO certificate.
