Read-only when complete.
Protection is applied only to administrator-selected business folders or non-system data drives.
Completed content becomes view-only.

- Blocked Create, edit, overwrite, rename and move
- Blocked File and folder deletion
Filesystem enforcement
A Windows minifilter enforces delete and archive restrictions at the selected location—not merely through a visual warning.
Authenticated administration
Adding or removing locations, changing protection, Archive/Unarchive and controlled audit clearing require a RivoShield administrator session.
Audit evidence
Review UTC time, path, action, result, computer, Windows identity, application/process and reason when available. Export CSV or JSONL.
Persistent policy
Protected-location and archive state are designed to reconnect across service startup and Windows reboot, followed by verification checks.
AUDIT TRAIL
From blocked action
to reviewable evidence.
Search by filename, action, result, computer or user. Export before an authenticated administrator clears records. A log entry supports verification; acceptance must also confirm the target file physically remains.
