The regulatory framework assumed someone had already done this. We did.

Minnesota LLC · Founded April 2026

The regulatory framework for data erasure assumes organizations have a statistically defensible verification methodology. Almost none do — because no tool has ever provided one.

NIST SP 800-88 Rev 2 defers verification to "IEEE 2883, NSA specifications, or an organizationally approved standard." CMMC requires verifiable proof of destruction. HIPAA and PCI-DSS carry penalties in the millions for inadequate disposal. The standards are clear. The tooling hasn't caught up.

We built RASA to change that: a patent-pending verification engine that turns any erasure event into a cryptographically signed, audit-defensible certificate — with a real statistical confidence interval and a real pre-commitment proof.

Founder-market fit.
Industry insider. Federal closer. Manufacturer access.
