Web Evidence Capture and Monitoring

Release.art provides web evidence capture and monitoring as a service, designed to support regulated and high-trust workflows where public web content must be captured, referenced, and reviewed as evidence.

The service produces structured, WORM-style snapshots of web pages, including rendered content and supporting metadata, that can be reused across compliance, audit, and governance processes.

This capability is used as part of the Regulatory Compliance Assistant, but can also be deployed independently.

What this service does

Rather than traditional web scraping for data harvesting, this service focuses on:

• Capturing public web content as evidence, not just data
• Preserving how content appeared at a specific point in time
• Supporting review, annotation, and citation in regulated workflows
• Producing artefacts that can be referenced by multiple teams

The result is reliable, inspectable web evidence, not transient page extracts.

Evidence-grade web snapshots

Captured artefacts typically include:

• Full rendered page content
• Screenshots of relevant sections or pages
• Metadata describing capture time and source
• Optional annotations highlighting relevant statements

Snapshots are designed to behave as write-once, read-many (WORM) records and can be stored in controlled locations such as:

• Evidence repositories
• Secure shared storage
• Data lakes
• Case management or compliance systems

Where required, snapshots can be digitally signed or integrity-checked to support evidentiary use.

Monitoring and change tracking

Where ongoing oversight is required, we design monitoring workflows that:

• Capture pages on a defined schedule or trigger
• Detect and record meaningful changes over time
• Preserve historical versions for comparison
• Surface changes for human review

This supports defensible claims about what was visible, when, and how it changed.

---

Integration with compliance workflows

Web Evidence Capture is commonly used to support:

• Advertising and marketing compliance reviews
• Verification of required disclosures
• Monitoring of regulated entities’ public representations
• Audit and investigation workflows
• Preparation of evidence-backed compliance reports

In the Compliance Assistant, captured web evidence is used directly to support draft compliance assessments with traceable references.

---

Designed for regulated environments

This service is delivered with regulated operating assumptions in mind:

• Capture of publicly available content only
• Transparent capture logic and scope
• No modification of captured content
• Clear separation between capture and interpretation
• Outputs suitable for audit, peer review, and assurance

The service supports evidence collection. It does not make compliance determinations.

---

Typical use cases

Organisations typically use this service to:

• Produce defensible evidence of website content
• Support advertising and promotions compliance
• Maintain records of disclosures and public statements
• Enable repeatable compliance checks over time
• Reduce reliance on ad-hoc screenshots or manual archiving
• Support investigations, audits, or regulatory enquiries

---

Delivery model

Web Evidence Capture is delivered as a consultancy-led service, typically including:

• Definition of capture scope and targets
• Design of capture and monitoring pipelines
• Storage and access model design
• Integration with existing compliance or evidence systems
• Documentation and handover

There is no packaged scraping platform and no vendor lock-in.

Limitations and safeguards

Explicit limitations

This service:

• Captures publicly available web content only
• Does not interpret regulatory meaning autonomously
• Does not replace human compliance review
• Does not guarantee legal or regulatory outcomes

It provides evidence artefacts, not decisions.

---

Safeguards by design

• Transparent capture and storage processes
• Evidence integrity preservation
• Human review by default
• Clear provenance and timestamping

These safeguards support responsible use in regulated and high-trust environments.
