Proof of presence for audits

No more Ghost Audits. Require a real, time-bound on-site virtual handshake to prove an on-site audit, is truly on-site.

As easy as a handshake

For end users it’s simple: click the link, open the Handshake page, scan each other’s QR codes — and you’re done.

Works on mobile (and desktop)

Tap the link and open the Handshake page — no installs, no special hardware.

Scan. Scan back. Done.

Each person scans the other’s QR code to confirm participation — it’s a two-way handshake in seconds.

Automatic location checks

GPS and IP checks run automatically and flag anything that looks wrong (wrong place, suspicious mismatch, expired token).

Purpose-built for certification bodies

Oversight-ready verification that scales across auditors and clients — with a clear audit trail and API integration into your systems.

Built for certification oversight

Avoid Ghost Audits across auditors, clients, and sites — without adding process friction.

Two-way, time-limited verification

Auditor and client scan each other — with short-lived QR codes to reduce screenshot reuse and "after the fact" claims.

Stronger location assurance

Combine GPS and IP checks with verification tokens to improve confidence and reduce spoofing at scale.

API-ready for your systems

Integrate the creation of 'handshakes' into your compliance tooling via API.
