What is the difference between Valid8 GovCloud and the commercial Valid8 platform?
They run the same investigative workflow. GovCloud is a separate deployment reserved for government agencies, hosted only in US regions, isolated from commercial tenants, and operated under the elevated control set being assessed for FedRAMP authorization. Commercial customers use regional instances in the US, Canada, the EU, the UK, and Australia under Valid8's standard SOC 2 Type II program.
Does any GovCloud data leave the United States?
No. Storage, processing, and backups for GovCloud are confined to US regions. There is no cross-border replication and no routing through international instances.
Can Valid8 process the volume of financial evidence in a large investigation?
Yes. Valid8 is engineered for completeness and processes high volumes of financial evidence for thousands of federal, state, and local investigations annually. It automates roughly 90% of the manual work, which lets a unit carry a larger caseload with existing headcount.
How does Valid8 handle handwritten checks, poor-quality scans, and mixed productions?
Valid8 extracts and verifies data from handwritten instruments, low-quality scans, and mixed-format documents, which are common in subpoena returns and seized records. Items that cannot be verified are flagged rather than silently guessed.
Does Valid8 support restitution and loss quantification?
Yes. Because the platform works from the full population of transactions rather than a sample, investigators can calculate total misuse, unauthorized withdrawals, or improper reimbursements with figures that trace back to source exhibits.
What is the status of FedRAMP authorization?
Valid8 Financial GovCloud holds FedRAMP In Process designation and is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. The sponsoring agency is the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection, with full authorization targeted for 2027. SOC 2 Type II, TX-RAMP, HIPAA, and GDPR coverage are in place today.
Will the output hold up in court?
Every figure in a Valid8 report opens to the transactions inside it, and every transaction opens to the statement page, check image, or deposit slip it came from. Reconciliation is deterministic, so an opposing expert running the same production reaches the same result.
Can co-counsel, outside experts, or task-force partners work in the same case?
Yes. Unlimited users work from one controlled record with permissions your agency sets. Nothing has to be exported and emailed to collaborate.
