C2PA for Compliance — Inspect Provenance, Integrity and Certificate Chains
C2PA Signer helps trust and compliance teams inspect Content Credentials across media assets, with exportable reports for audits, reviews and provenance documentation.
Trusted
Signed but untrusted
Invalid
No credentials
Why trust and compliance teams need C2PA
Compliance and trust teams need to inspect provenance, integrity and certificate-chain information across media assets, and keep an auditable record of what was checked. C2PA Content Credentials provide structured signals — manifest, actions, signature and signer — that support review and documentation.
C2PA Signer reads those signals locally in the browser and produces a report for each checked asset, including a JSON export for logs and archives. Teams can confirm whether a file carries credentials, whether it still matches its signed manifest, and whether the signer chains to a recognized trust source.
Compliance review workflow
Verify
Open C2PA Signer and drop the file into local verification.
Inspect
Review signer certificate, manifest actions and integrity status.
Export
Generate a report with JSON export for audit trails and records.
Archive
Store the result with the case or asset record for auditable history.
What the report can show
A clear breakdown of the C2PA evidence available for the checked media.
Standardized format
Manifest
The embedded C2PA manifest declaring claims, actions and assertions about the asset.
Actions
Declared editing and processing actions recorded in the provenance history.
Signature
Whether the manifest signature is valid and the asset still matches what was signed.
Certificate chain
The signer certificate and whether it chains to a recognized C2PA trust source.
Trust status
A clear badge system: Trusted, Signed but untrusted, Invalid, or No credentials.
JSON export
A machine-readable export of the report for archives, logs and compliance tooling.
Common review scenarios
Audit sample
Review a sample of assets for a provenance audit and export reports documenting each result.
Vendor asset
Inspect media supplied by a vendor to confirm recognizable credentials and intact manifest.
Disputed media
Surface signals for a disputed asset while clearly noting what C2PA does not prove.
Batch review
Review multiple assets to confirm credentials and export reports for the record.
What this does not prove
- It is not fake detection.
- No credentials is not evidence that content is false.
- It is not a replacement for legal, editorial or forensic review.
- Test certificates are not public production trust.
Clarifying signals, not verdicts.
C2PA provides technical provenance signals. C2PA Signer helps compliance teams interpret these signals correctly without overstating their evidentiary weight.
Mechanical integrity principleFAQ for compliance
Can we export reports for audits?
Yes. C2PA Signer can export a report including JSON, so each provenance check can be archived with the case or asset record for auditability.
What is a certificate chain?
It is the path from the signer certificate up to a recognized trust source. C2PA Signer shows the signer and whether it chains to a recognized C2PA trust source.
Are test certificates valid for compliance?
Test certificates produce valid signatures but are not publicly trusted. They are useful for demos and validation, not for public production trust claims.
Can we integrate with a CMS or DAM?
The core extension runs in the browser. For CMS, DAM or internal-dashboard integrations with custom reports, see the enterprise options.
