SAMS Black-Box Auditor

Immutable Ledger & Forensic Logging - Legal Admissibility for NIS2 Compliance

Overview

SAMS Black-Box Auditor is a sovereign technology solution providing immutable forensic logging and legal evidence preservation for critical infrastructure. Built for EU Digital Sovereignty and NIS2 Directive compliance, it delivers tamper-evident audit trails with quantum-safe cryptographic signatures while maintaining exceptional performance for industrial deployments.
