V-PROOF: Software Lifecycle Traceability in the Era of the EU Cyber Resilience Act
Category: Product & Engineering | Date: June 22, 2026 | Reading time: 3 min.
In a development project, the question is no longer just what the code does.
The question is whether you can show where each change came from.
The EU Cyber Resilience Act, which takeseffect in 2027, requires software manufacturers to demonstrate full traceability throughout the entire development chain: verified authorship, code integrity, and evidence of technical decisions recorded from the first commit through to the production version.

"A pipeline without traceability isn't just a technical risk. It's a legal liability."
Most organizations are not prepared.
A pipeline without traceability is not just a technical risk. It is a legal liability.
From end to end. Friction-free.
V-PROOF integrates directly into the existing development workflow, without changing how engineers work or requiring a redesign of the architecture.
Each commit is attributed to its author and cryptographically signed. Every change undergoes peer review and continuous integration with automated testing. The signature is preserved throughout the entire pipeline, all the way to the version deployed in production.
Traceability happens where the code happens.
A record that no auditor can dispute
The result is a verifiable and secure record of the entire software lifecycle: authorship, decisions, and versions.
V-PROOF anchors each SHA-256 hash to the L2 blockchain at the exact moment of each action, commit, approval, or deployment. From that point on, any auditor can verify the entire chain without accessing the source code, without intermediaries, using verifiable cryptographic evidence.
Every change is audited. Every commit is verifiable.
Three guarantees for three audiences
Traceability for your security audits.
Evidence for your software supply chain—SBOM-compliant.
Trust in the person who signs the release and assumes legal responsibility.
Compliance is no longer optional
The EU Cyber Resilience Act does not distinguish between critical and non-critical software. It distinguishes between organizations that can demonstrate their development chain of custody and those that cannot.
V-PROOF that demonstration into a permanent infrastructure, integrated into the workflow where your teams are already working.
