A system for secure storage audit verification includes a transaction pool and a processor. The transaction pool stores transactions records for a Key Release System (KRS) Audit Agent or a Key Management System (KMS) Audit Agent. The processor is configured to select a transaction, wherein the transaction is awaiting verification in the transaction pool; determine whether the transaction is old; in response to the transaction not being old, select a new transaction; and in response to the transaction being old, indicate to suspend processing of the transaction.
