Declarations, Attachments, and Certificates

Governance Service coordinates the evidence lifecycle for controls and applied policies.

Declarations capture evidence, assertions, or automated findings for a project control. They can be submitted by users or created by worker workflows.

Evidence files are uploaded through Governance Service and stored in the configured object storage provider. The database stores attachment metadata and service-generated storage keys or access URLs, depending on the configured provider.

Certificate workflows depend on Governance Service, Auth Service, and Integrity Service. Governance Service coordinates policy and project context while Integrity Service handles integrity records and credential-related operations.

Use a real object storage provider in production and confirm that evidence upload, download, and retention expectations match customer policy.
