Veritas Compliance capability
Readiness and hold-point gates
Configure readiness and hold-point gates so work does not proceed without required test evidence, certifications and approvals.
Readiness and hold-point gates enforce the sequence compliance programmes depend on. Before downstream work proceeds, the workspace checks that required tests, certifications, photos and approvals are present.
Gates reduce the pattern where work continues on trust and paperwork catches up weeks later. Missing evidence becomes visible at the point of decision rather than during audit.
Gates integrate with Safety ITP hold points where both modules are enabled, but Compliance gates focus on test and certification evidence rather than general SWMS authoring.
The problem this solves
Hold points fail in practice when checks live on paper sign-off sheets disconnected from the test record. Approvers sign without seeing whether evidence actually exists.
Digital gates tie approval to retained evidence so hold points mean something at mobilisation time.
Workflow narrative
- 1. Define gate rules
Configure which evidence and approvals are required before each downstream step.
- 2. Capture prerequisite evidence
Complete tests, certifications and attachments that satisfy gate requirements.
- 3. Review and release
Authorised reviewers approve hold points when evidence is complete.
- 4. Audit gate history
Retain who released each gate, when and against what evidence.

Limitations
Gate design quality
Gates only work when configured to match real project sequencing and authority requirements.
Cross-module dependencies
Some hold points may depend on Safety or Workforce records when those modules are enabled.
