Audit by default

Every change is logged. Logs cannot be edited or deleted.

Cardem keeps a running record of every action that touches money, inventory, customers, or auth. Entries are tamper-evident, so any change to a previous record is detected automatically. Retention is seven years by default.

CAPTURE

What gets logged

Auth events, financial transactions, inventory adjustments, fulfilment events, customer-data changes, GDPR requests, admin role changes.

INTEGRITY

How tampering is detected

Each entry is cryptographically linked to the previous entry. A daily integrity check verifies the whole chain. A break is reported immediately.

EXPORT

Where it lives

Inside your store's database. Available to your authorised admins. Exportable on request, signed and timestamped, suitable for compliance review.
