The Opportunity

Problem

Regtech platforms lack real-time audit trails for remote distributed teams, exposing them to compliance risks and failures during virtual audits.

Solution

TrailAudit captures timestamped screenshots and mouse/keyboard events during regtech sessions, building an immutable visual audit trail accessible via a secure dashboard. Compliance managers review, annotate, and export trails for virtual audits in seconds. It integrates seamlessly with existing regtech platforms without code changes.

Target Audience

Compliance managers and audit teams in regulated industries (e.g., fintech, healthcare) with remote distributed workforces using regtech platforms.

Differentiator

Screenshot-based visual logging with pixel-perfect event mapping, reducing audit prep time by 80% vs text-only logs.
