Compliance Layer

Compliance designed to operate investment vehicles.

Vefy integrates KYC, e-signature, document traceability, access controls and secure infrastructure into every SPV, SAFE and incorporation.

It's not a decorative layer. It's the invisible infrastructure that lets you operate with more order, evidence and trust.

Identity. Signature. Documents. Access. Data. All in one operational flow.

Why it matters

In private markets, risk doesn't live only in the contract.

It also lives in who signs, which version was signed, when KYC was completed, who had access to the information and where the evidence is stored.

An SPV can be well designed and still become fragile if the operation is handled with emails, loose PDFs, untraceable signatures and disconnected spreadsheets.

Vefy turns that friction into an operational layer: every identity, signature, document and relevant action is ordered within the process.

What it covers

Vefy's compliance layer covers five critical moments.

01

Identity

Validation of investors and relevant parties through KYC processes integrated into onboarding.

02

Signature

Documents signed electronically with timestamp, cryptographic hash, signer registry and audit trail.

03

Documents

Contracts, versions, evidence and records centralized to avoid operational dispersion.

04

Access

Role-based permissions, least-privilege principle and traceability over relevant actions.

05

Data

Processing limited to operating the service, with infrastructure in AWS Zurich and principles of sensitive-information protection.

Identity

KYC integrated into onboarding.

Vefy runs Know Your Customer processes through integrated digital identity-verification providers. In the user experience, KYC is part of the natural flow of entering an operation.

The goal isn't to add bureaucracy. It's to validate identity, reduce operational risk, improve traceability and professionalize the experience for investors, LPs and stakeholders.

The process may include
  • Identity verification with official documents
  • Biometric validation
  • Liveness check
  • Fraud and impersonation detection
  • Traceable records tied to onboarding
KYC ≠ AML

KYC included. AML when applicable.

Vefy's base onboarding includes KYC processes when applicable. Full AML can be added as an add-on depending on the type of operation, investor, structure or legal requirement.

KYC shouldn't be confused with full AML. Vefy communicates that difference explicitly to avoid incorrect regulatory promises.

Electronic Signature

E-signature with verifiable evidence.

Contracts signed inside Vefy use DocuSeal as the e-signature provider. Each document can be tied to a timestamp, cryptographic hash, signer registry, audit trail and downloadable documentation.

E-signature is always communicated with a jurisdictional nuance: its validity depends on the applicable framework, the document, the parties and the specific operation.

Frameworks communicable when they apply
  • ESIGN Act
  • UETA
  • eIDAS
  • SOC 2 Type II, when it applies to the provider
Data Protection

Privacy by design.

Vefy doesn't treat privacy as a policy at the end of the process. It builds it in from the product architecture. In private operations, data isn't a secondary input: it's part of the structure —identity, legal documentation, economic stakes, signature records, access and evidence.

That's why the platform is designed to process only the information needed to operate, limit access, logically separate sensitive information and keep records of relevant actions.

Operational principles
  • Data minimization
  • Role-limited access
  • Least privilege
  • Secure storage
  • Logical separation
  • Traceable records
  • No sale of sensitive information
Infrastructure

Infrastructure in AWS Zurich.

Vefy's backend is deployed in AWS Zurich, Switzerland. The choice reflects a decision about architecture, data protection and institutional stability.

When a platform manages investment structures, contracts, identities and sensitive documentation, the jurisdiction of the infrastructure isn't a technical detail. It's part of the trust design.

Security and operation layers
  • Recognized cloud infrastructure
  • Backups and redundancy
  • Logs and monitoring
  • Controlled internal access
  • Sensitive-information protection
  • Records for operational traceability
Traceability

Every operation needs a source of truth.

In a private investment, evidence matters.

Who signed. When they signed. Which document they signed. Which version was in effect. What information they loaded. What status their onboarding has. What access each party had.

Vefy organizes those records so the operation doesn't depend on memory, emails or scattered documents.

Two layers

Compliance protects the process. Expert Assurance protects the structure.

Compliance

It leaves evidence of who participated, what they signed, when they did it and under which version. It orders the traceability.

Expert Assurance

It builds legal-operational judgment into the workflows: reviewed structures, standardized documents and escalation of non-standard cases when applicable.

The first layer orders traceability. The second helps ensure that what's being traced has structural seriousness. We don't sell lawyer hours: we build infrastructure where legal-operational judgment is already built into the process.

Cross-cutting

Compliance lives beneath every Vefy product.

SPV

Investor onboarding, KYC, Operating Agreements, signature records, statuses by LP, capital calls and centralized documentation.

SAFE

Agreement generation, e-signature, technical evidence, traceability of parties and storage of the signed document.

Incorporation

Information collection, company documentation, legal-operational structure and records needed to prepare a startup or vehicle.

Dataroom

Organized documents, access control, versions and a more professional experience for investors and relevant parties.

Regulatory Positioning

Vefy is not a broker, not a fund and doesn't recommend investments.

Vefy provides infrastructure to structure and operate private processes: identity, documents, signatures, traceability, onboarding and operational coordination.

Vefy doesn't recommend investments, doesn't make investment decisions, doesn't guarantee returns, doesn't replace legal, tax or financial advice and doesn't promise regulatory approval in any jurisdiction.

The responsibility of the manager, sponsor, founder or investor is defined according to the structure, the documents and the contracted scope.

What's not included by default
  • Full AML by default
  • Guaranteed regulatory approval
  • Automatic coverage of every requirement in each jurisdiction
  • Tax compliance
  • Regulatory responsibility for fund administration unless explicitly in scope
  • Replacement of the manager's responsibilities
  • Legal, tax, financial or investment advice on demand
Trust is also designed

The operation feels simple because the complexity is structured underneath.

When an investor enters an SPV, signs a document or completes their KYC, the experience should feel clear. Behind that clarity there's validated identity, correct documents, technical evidence, controlled access and protected data.

If all of this feels calm, it's because someone absorbed the complexity for you.
