Evidence that holds up when it matters most.

Regulators do not accept scattered files. Setara takes your emails, logs, messages, and documents and turns them into structured timelines, relationship graphs, and counsel-ready briefings your team can stand behind.

The challenge

The evidence problem compliance teams live with every day.

When a regulator issues a notice, or an internal audit escalates, the first question is always the same. Where is everything. Documents sit across shared drives, email threads, Slack channels, and spreadsheets held by people who may no longer be available. Pulling it together manually takes days. Gaps appear. Ownership is contested. The timeline that emerges is one person's best reconstruction, not a verifiable record. That is not a defensible position. Australian regulators including ASIC, AUSTRAC, and APRA now require measurable, time-stamped evidence that controls operated as claimed, not just that policies existed. The standard has moved from document production to continuous, traceable proof.
  • Evidence sits across siloed systems with no single view of what exists
  • Manual reconstruction creates gaps that regulators and opposing counsel will find
  • Privilege decisions are made under time pressure without a complete picture
  • Cross-functional coordination stalls as teams wait on each other for source material
  • Point-in-time snapshots pass audits but leave the organisation exposed between cycles

Flow

From raw material to a record you can rely on.

Setara ingests the sources your matter already contains. Emails, audit logs, Slack exports, CSVs, documents, screenshots, and open-source context. Setara·Core processes them into four resolved outputs. Each output is traceable to its source. Nothing is inferred without attribution.
  • Ingest: emails, logs, documents, Slack, CSV, screenshots, OSINT context
  • Timeline: every event placed in sequence with the source record attached
  • Evidence Map: which documents relate to which events and obligations
  • Relationship Graph: who communicated with whom, and when, across the full matter
  • Structured Briefing: a counsel-ready summary your legal and risk teams can act on

Feature · Timeline

A timeline that is also a source trail.

Reconstructing the sequence of events is usually the hardest part of a conduct review or regulatory response. Setara builds the timeline automatically from ingested material. Every entry links to the original document or message. Disputed events can be examined in context rather than argued over from memory. The result is a record that survives scrutiny. Auditable, consistent, and producible without further manual assembly.
  • Events ordered automatically from ingested source material
  • Each entry links to the originating document, message, or log entry
  • Disputed points can be traced to primary sources in seconds
  • Exportable in formats suitable for legal review and regulator production

Feature · Relationship Graph

See who was connected to what, and when.

Conduct reviews and regulatory investigations turn on relationships. Who knew what, who approved which decision, and who communicated with whom before an event. Setara maps these connections across the full corpus of ingested material. Clusters of activity appear visually. Isolated parties show as isolated. Nothing is hidden by the volume of records.
  • Maps communication patterns across email, messages, and document access
  • Identifies clusters of activity around key dates or events
  • Shows connections that would remain invisible in a document-by-document review
  • Supports privilege mapping by surfacing legal counsel involvement in threads

Feature · Briefing

Briefings your counsel and executives can sign off on.

The output of a Setara matter is a structured briefing. A coherent account of what the evidence shows, organised for the reader who needs to make a decision or respond to an authority. It is not a dump of raw material. It is a document with a clear narrative, supported by traceable citations to the source records Setara ingested. Your legal team can review and annotate. Your risk committee can read it without needing to interpret raw data. Your regulator receives a response built on a complete, consistent record.
  • Structured narrative organised around the obligations or allegations in scope
  • Every claim in the briefing is traceable to a source record
  • Supports regulator responses, board reports, and internal audit findings
  • Reduces the time from matter open to counsel-ready output

Benefit

Audit readiness is not a project. It is a posture.

Teams that wait until an audit notice arrives spend the next two weeks in crisis recovery. Setara lets compliance and risk functions maintain a structured view of their evidence continuously. When an inquiry comes, the record already exists. This matters because APRA's CPS 230, the Financial Accountability Regime, and AUSTRAC's expanded AML/CTF obligations all require organisations to demonstrate, on demand, that controls operated as designed. The expectation is not that you can eventually produce evidence. The expectation is that it is already traceable.
  • Maintain a live, structured evidence base rather than rebuilding it under pressure
  • Supports continuous compliance posture across multiple regulatory frameworks
  • Traceable control performance data available without manual reconstruction
  • Reduces preparation time when regulators exercise expanded information-gathering powers

Scenarios

Where compliance and risk teams use Setara.

Setara is not built for a single workflow. The same intelligence layer applies wherever your team needs to turn a body of scattered records into a clear, defensible account.
  • Conduct reviews: establish what happened, who was involved, and in what sequence
  • Regulatory responses: produce a structured record in response to ASIC, AUSTRAC, or APRA notices
  • Internal investigations: support HR, legal, and risk working from the same evidence base
  • Audit preparation: assemble control evidence ahead of internal or external audit cycles
  • Incident reconstruction: trace the sequence of events following a cyber incident or operational failure
  • Board-level reporting: turn matter findings into a briefing the board can read and act on
