PMFA

Compliance

Why Audited Reality Matters

PMFA was designed for environments where compliance is not optional.

The architecture does not support compliance.
The architecture is compliance.

Why Most Systems Fail Compliance

Most enterprise systems treat compliance as a layer—
something added on top, documented afterward, audited separately.

This approach fails because:
— State can be mutated without a trace
— Decisions cannot be explained by the system itself
— Audit trails are reconstructed, not inherent
— "What happened" and "what the system said happened" can diverge

Under regulatory pressure, these gaps become liabilities.

The PMFA Compliance Model

In PMFA, compliance is not a feature. It is a consequence of architecture.

• Every state change is an event
• Every event is immutable
• Every decision is traceable to the policy that made it
• Every policy is versioned and auditable

This means:
— Replay is always possible
— Evidence is generated automatically
— The system can explain itself

Regulatory Trust Model

Regulators do not ask for promises.
They ask for evidence.

PMFA provides evidence by construction:
— What happened (events)
— Why it happened (policy at that moment)
— When it happened (bitemporal truth)
— Who authorized it (identity and permission record)

This is not compliance support.
This is compliance proof.


Audit Trail Is Automatic

Because every state change is an event, and events are immutable, every PMFA system has a complete, tamper-proof audit trail by default. This is not a feature to enable—it is impossible to disable.

Temporal Queries

Regulators often ask: "What did you know, and when did you know it?" PMFA systems can answer this precisely. Bitemporal modeling means the system knows what was true at any point in time, and what the system believed at that moment.

Policy Traceability

Business rules are not hidden in code. They are explicit, versioned, and auditable. When a rule changes, the change is recorded. When a decision is made, the rule that made it is traceable.

Immutable History

Retroactive changes are tracked, not hidden. If a correction is made, the original record remains. The correction is a new event that references the original. Nothing is ever lost.
