Risk & Controls

TrusCodes is designed for real-world adversarial conditions—copying, replay, transfer, and fabricated history—using enforceable controls and evidence outputs.

The main risks TrusCodes is built to address

Four failure modes, four primary controls

1) Copy and replay (screenshots, duplication)

A code may be genuine but reused.

Primary control: lifecycle enforcement + audit logging.

2) Transfer (peel-and-transfer to counterfeit products)

A genuine label is moved to fake goods.

Primary control: tamper-evident labels + lifecycle policy.

3) Misrepresentation of claims (certification, lab, origin)

True documents can be reused out of scope.

Primary control: single-use claim consumption + binding rules.

4) Fabricated traceability history

Records exist, but the history is not enforceable.

Primary control: TracePro sequencing + RBAC + state transitions + audit logs.

Control categories

A simple framework

A) Preventive controls

Cryptographic identity validation
Tamper-evident physical controls
Lifecycle rules that stop reuse
Role-based permissions (TracePro contexts)

B) Detective controls

Repeat attempt detection
Out-of-sequence event detection
Invalid transitions and unauthorized attempts
Anomaly indicators and exception flags

C) Evidence controls

Structured outcomes and reason codes
Lifecycle state transitions
Event logs and exception trails
Exportable audit views

Exception handling

What happens when something looks wrong

When the system detects misuse or policy violations, it can:

reject verification,
flag the attempt for review,
preserve evidence for investigation,
support escalation workflows in your operating model.

Frequently asked

FAQs

What is a regulator-ready verification system?: It is a verification system that enforces controls against misuse and produces structured evidence that regulators and auditors can review.
How does TrusCodes prevent fake records?: By enforcing lifecycle rules for claims and sequencing / permissions for traceability events, and by recording structured evidence for every outcome.
