Frequently Asked Questions
调查发现，在泄露的 494 份审计报告中，有 493 份的内容几乎完全雷同，文字重合度高达 99.8%。这些报告不仅在描述不同公司的安全流程时使用了统一的语法错误（如整齐划一地漏掉单词“is”），甚至在关键的测试数据栏填写了如“sdf”、“dlkjf”等明显的键盘乱码。这表明报告并非基于实际审计生成，而是通过自动化模板预先设定的“复印件”。
根据行业准则，开发合规工具的公司与出具报告的会计师事务所必须保持独立。然而，Delve 被指控直接由内部团队生成审计内容，并利用位于印度的“认证工厂”批量生产报告。这些所谓的美国 CPA 事务所往往只有虚拟办公室，甚至在报告封面上出现了错误的审计师 ID。此外，Delve 还以远低于市场价的报价吸引客户，并宣称包含根本未实际执行的数百小时渗透测试。
Delve 被指控剽窃同为 YC 校友公司 Sim.ai 的开源产品。其标价昂贵的“Pathways”工具被发现大量克隆了 SimStudio 的核心代码库，且未按照开源协议署名。更具讽刺意味的是，Delve 的 CEO 在拒绝向原作者支付授权费的同时，转身就将这款克隆产品卖给了 Notion 和 Gusto 等知名大厂。
当合规外壳撞上真实的黑客攻击时，虚假的审计报告无法提供任何保护。例如，开源项目 LiteLLM 在通过 Delve 审计后不到 60 天，就被发现注入了恶意软件，证明了审计过程完全失效。对于企业创始人而言，合规责任是不可转让的，一旦被证实存在系统性造假，公司可能面临 HIPAA 或 GDPR 下的巨额罚金甚至刑事指控，同时还会遭遇品牌信任破产和明星客户流失。
