Real answers to the questions compliance officers ask before they sign up.

How is this different from Google Drive + DocuSign?

Google Drive stores files. DocuSign gets signatures. Neither one proves compliance.

When the auditor asks: "Which version was approved?", "Can you prove all 47 staff acknowledged it?", "When was this last reviewed?" — Google Drive can't answer in 30 seconds. Veracord can.

We're not replacing Google Drive. We're replacing the two weeks of hell that happens when the auditor shows up.

Why not just use ChatGPT to write policies?

Three reasons:

  • ChatGPT hallucinates — it'll confidently cite regulations that don't exist. Policy Builder only references documents the clinic uploads.
  • No accountability trail — an auditor can't verify where the language came from. Our system shows exactly which source document informed each section.
  • No version control — ChatGPT is just a drafting tool. Veracord creates the immutable, timestamped record that stands up in an audit.

Drafting gets you started in minutes. Veracord makes it defensible forever.

Why not use PowerDMS, Compli, or another compliance platform?

Those platforms were built for hospital systems and Fortune 500 compliance teams — not independent clinics. They come with implementation timelines measured in months, pricing starting at $500–$2,000/month, and features you'll never use.

Veracord is built for the 10–50 person clinic where the compliance officer might also be the office manager. Setup under an hour. $249/month. One job: make you audit-ready.

Getting Started

How long does it take to get set up?

Most clinics are fully onboarded in under an hour. Upload your existing policies, invite your staff, and Veracord handles the rest — acknowledgment requests, review scheduling, version locking. No IT required.

If you have 10 policies and 20 staff, you can be audit-ready before lunch.

What if we already have policies written somewhere else?

That's the most common starting point. Upload your existing policies, approve them, and they become your locked record from that point forward.

Policy Builder is optional — useful if you want to modernize outdated language or align with recent regulatory changes. But plenty of clinics just bring their existing policies over and immediately become audit-ready.

Your existing work isn't wasted — it becomes the foundation of your defensible record.

Do staff need training to use Veracord?

No. Staff log in, see the policies they need to acknowledge, click to acknowledge, and they're done. There's no learning curve because there's nothing to learn — it's one action.

Admins have a bit more to navigate, but the dashboard shows exactly what needs attention today and nothing else. If you can use email, you can use Veracord.

What types of clinics is Veracord built for?

Any outpatient healthcare setting with compliance obligations — primary care, dental, specialty practices, mental health clinics, physical therapy, urgent care.

We're focused on independent and mid-sized clinics (typically 5–100 staff). If you have staff who need to acknowledge policies and an auditor who will eventually ask for proof, Veracord is built for you.

Audits & Proof

What does the audit export actually look like?

A complete, timestamped package — not a dashboard screenshot. You get a PDF with:

  • Every current policy (locked, read-only)
  • Full version history with change logs
  • Staff acknowledgment table with names, roles, and timestamps
  • Review schedule with ownership assignments

Designed to hand directly to an auditor without explanation. We show you a sample on every demo call.

What if we don't get audited that often?

That's exactly the problem. When the audit finally happens, you're not ready — because you only think about it once a year. The scramble is proportional to how long it's been since the last one.

Veracord keeps you audit-ready every single day, automatically. When it happens — and it will — you're done in 30 seconds instead of two weeks.

What happens when compliance requirements change?

That's exactly when clinics need Veracord most. Upload the updated regulatory document to Policy Builder, review the suggested changes, approve and lock the new version, and staff get notified automatically.

We don't just handle compliance — we handle compliance changes. In healthcare, that happens constantly.

Product & Security

Is our policy data secure?

All policies are stored with encryption at rest and in transit. Access is role-based — staff see only what they need to acknowledge, admins manage policies, and owners have full access.

The immutability that makes Veracord audit-proof also means no one can alter or delete records after approval — not even us. Your compliance record is yours, locked, and permanent.

How much does Veracord cost?

$249/month per clinic — unlimited policies, unlimited staff, unlimited exports, Policy Builder included. Or $2,490/year — that's two months free. No per-user fees, no setup costs, no feature tiers.

$249/month is less than what most clinics spend in coffee during two weeks of audit scramble. First time you avoid that nightmare, it pays for itself many times over.
