The Digital Evidence Preservation Toolkit (DEPT) WordPress Plugin transforms WordPress into a secure, verifiable evidence management system, allowing teams to capture, authenticate, and manage digital content with built-in chain-of-custody tracking and court-ready exports.

Whether you’re an investigative journalist, a legal professional, or a compliance officer, our plugin ensures that every piece of digital evidence is verifiable and tamper-proof.

Key Features:

• ✅ Metadata Analysis – Automatically extract, verify, and log key metadata for every uploaded file.
• ✅ Content Credentials Integration – Display cryptographic proof of authenticity and authorship using Content Credentials technology.
• ✅ Chain of Custody Tracking – Ensure secure, tamper-proof documentation of every change, action, and transfer.
• ✅ Court-Ready Exports – Generate reports in legally admissible formats with a verifiable audit trail.
• ✅ Seamless WordPress Integration – Works with existing media libraries, post types, and workflows.

How It Works

Built with PHP and JavaScript, the DEPT WordPress Plugin seamlessly integrates with your WordPress media library and enables automatic metadata analysis upon file upload. Using SHA-256 hashing and a tamper-proof ledger database (QLDB or alternative immutable storage), each file’s authenticity is recorded and tracked.

For enhanced proof of authorship, the plugin incorporates Content Credentials (C2PA), ensuring that digital files include secure, verifiable identity markers. Through the admin dashboard, users can annotate, track revisions, and generate court-admissible reports with full chain-of-custody documentation.
