NISR 4400 certification certifies that the process was correct: that the request for proposals reached 100% of technically qualified suppliers according to Visualnet's taxonomy and directory. That is what the auditor signs — objective facts, not conventional thresholds.
If the market has a single capable supplier for that activity and date, a single bid is perfectly certifiable. In many cases it is more defensible before the tax authority than three quotes from a market of two hundred where only three were contacted.
If the market responds with twenty bids, the report includes a full benchmark. In both cases, the process is beyond reproach. The NISR 4400 report stands firm. That is what distinguishes an audited production from one that is not.
3 or more bids received
Certified process + full market benchmark (minimum / average / maximum). The NISR 4400 report is complete.
1 or 2 bids — 100% of market was contacted
Certified process + documented note of limited market. The available reference price is recorded. The NISR 4400 report stands firm.
Zero bids received
No NISR 4400 report is issued. The process is documented but not certified.
A minimum of three bids is a convention that does not reflect the reality of the film and TV market, where many specialised services have a single qualified supplier in a region for a specific date. Requiring three where there is only one does not improve the process — it distorts it. Visualnet's NISR 4400 report certifies verifiable facts: how many suppliers are in the market and how many received the request.
When each request for proposals is published, the system records the number of suppliers notified at that moment. The directory of 130,000+ companies classified by activity and geography automatically verifies that those notified equal 100% of those eligible. Coverage is not declared — it is mathematically irrefutable.
An award with one bid from a single-supplier market, correctly documented, is more robust before any regulatory body than three quotes from a market of two hundred where only three were consulted. Tax authorities do not ask for a minimum number of bids — they ask for evidence that the price is a real market price. That is exactly what Visualnet documents.
Read-only access to the complete process. No possibility of modifying any data.
Auditor access cannot modify any data on the platform. Auditor independence is guaranteed by architecture, not by policy.
Each event generates an identifier chained to the previous one. Independently verifiable. Impossible to alter the record without leaving a mathematical trace detectable by the auditor.
PDF of the complete history per project, ready to attach to the audit file. Signed CSV with all events for own analysis.
Access to all your clients from a single auditor panel. No need to manage separate access per production company or project.

Designed to integrate into the due diligence processes of leading audit firms in the film and TV industry. NISR 4400 report generated and digitally signed with a qualified FNMT-RCM certificate.
Every Phase B request for proposals generates NISR 4400-compatible documentation. The certification level is assigned automatically based on the number of bids and eligible market coverage.
Multi-tenant architecture with strict data separation, AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit. One client's data is never accessible from another's environment.
Each event generates a hash chained to the previous one. The auditor can independently verify the integrity of the entire history without needing to trust Visualnet.
