ChainProof

ChainProof is a desktop + web app for small digital forensics teams that need defensible chain-of-custody and repeatable evidence handling, without buying a full enterprise suite. It ingests common artifacts (disk images, mobile extractions, log bundles), generates cryptographic hashes, and tracks every access, transfer, and transformation with immutable audit logs. The AI component helps auto-label evidence, suggest standardized case notes, and flag missing documentation (e.g., unverified hash, unclear acquisition method, gaps in custody). It produces court-friendly reports and exports to common formats used by investigators and attorneys. Brutal reality: you will not beat EnCase/FTK/Cellebrite on deep acquisition or analysis. You can win by being the “boring but bulletproof” evidence governance layer that wraps around whatever tools a lab already uses, reducing mistakes that get cases challenged or thrown out.
