Most teams have governance. What they do not have is evidence. ArcRelease records every ceremony as it happens, attributes it to a named owner, escalates the ones that slip, and exports the result as something an auditor accepts.
Release governance evidence is the timestamped, attributed record of who approved what, when, and on which release. ArcRelease captures it at the moment of the decision instead of reconstructing it from Slack scrollback before every audit.
The governance happened. The evidence did not get recorded, so it gets rebuilt from memory before every audit.
My sign-off is a Slack thumbs-up. Six weeks later, in an audit, nobody can prove I ever gave it.
Evidence collection is screenshots pasted into a spreadsheet, and we call it a control.
A control you reconstruct after the fact is not a control. ArcRelease records each ceremony as it happens, names the owner, escalates the ones that slip, and turns the trail into a one-click export.
QA sign-off, security review, deploy approval — whatever your gates are, each with a named owner.
Approvals are captured with a timestamp and a person, not reconstructed from chat later.
A gate that goes overdue escalates automatically to the next owner up the chain.
The whole trail exports as PDF or JSON — the evidence hunt before an audit disappears.
ArcRelease records governance signals from these tools. It is not a deployment engine and never writes to your code.
ArcRelease is built to SOC 2 controls and the Type II audit is in progress; we will not claim a report we do not hold. What ships today helps you evidence your own SOC 2 change-management controls.
Yes, and the override is recorded with a reason and a person. A control that cannot be overridden gets routed around invisibly, which is the worse outcome.
No. It records the ceremonies you already run and, if you use ServiceNow, reads change records as one signal. It adds evidence, not another workflow to maintain.
