How do I attach a certificate or report to a provider?

Upload the document once, attach it to every record it supports, and keep a hash that proves it has not changed.

  1. 1

    Open Evidence and choose Upload a document.

  2. 2

    Give it a name a colleague would recognise and upload the file.

    You should see: The document listed with its size and the date, and a content hash recorded at upload.

    Names in any alphabet are accepted, including Cyrillic and Greek, and download correctly. That was not always true here.

  3. 3

    Open the record it belongs to - a provider, a service, an arrangement - and attach it from the Evidence panel there.

    You should see: The document listed on that record.

Worth knowing

One document can be attached to as many records as it supports. A single ISO 27001 certificate usually covers several services, and uploading it repeatedly is how a workspace ends up with four versions and no idea which is current.

Use Verify all integrity on the Evidence screen to re-check every stored document against the hash taken at upload. That is the difference between saying a certificate has not been tampered with and showing it.
