Consent Repository
Find structured consent records and their historical state in one place.
Records spread across applications, forms, and service teams are slow to locate and reconcile. Evidence lookup can become a manual search across disconnected sources.

Records spread across applications, forms, and service teams are slow to locate and reconcile.
It indexes records by relevant identifiers and preserves their decision, purpose, artefact, and state history.
Why Consent Repository matters
Records spread across applications, forms, and service teams are slow to locate and reconcile.
Evidence lookup can become a manual search across disconnected sources.
Teams often rely on exports or screenshots whose provenance is hard to establish.
How Consent Repository works
- Receive structured records and artefact references.
- Validate the record shape.
- Index key search fields.
- Retain historical states.
- Return matching records for authorized review.
Key capabilities
- Record search
- Structured record fields
- Artefact references
- Historical state lookup
- Authorized retrieval
Configuration & controls
Choose record identifiers, searchable fields, retention practices, and the record structure used across contributing journeys.
Workflow & architecture
The repository is a retrieval layer for records created elsewhere; it is not the interaction that collects a decision or the audit-event mechanism.
The repository finds and returns structured records created elsewhere. It does not collect consent, produce the chronological audit trail, or assemble evidence packages for delivery.
Integrations
It can receive normalized records from consent workflows and make them available to approved internal processes. Data mappings should be defined per source.
Security & audit
Searches should return enough context to identify the record, its source, relevant artefacts, and historical state.
Implementation
- Define the canonical record shape.
- Map source fields.
- Choose search keys.
- Load representative historical records.
- Test authorized lookup scenarios.
