On November 2, 2022, IPVM published a report detailing Evolv's "deceptive marketing and colluding with NCS4, a public entity, to hide test results showing failures at weapons screening." That same day, BBC published reported that a previous National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security ("NCS4") report had been manipulated by Evolv employees, including deleting a reference to the system being incapable of detecting every knife. On this news, Evolv's stock price fell $0.08, or 2.7%.

Then, on March 13, 2024, the independent company, which Evolv claimed had "tested and validated" its technology, told BBC News that it was "not correct to say [it] ‘validated' the system." On this news, Evolv's stock price fell $0.13, or 3.5%.

Then, on October 25, 2024, Evolv announced that it would restate its financial statements since second quarter 2022 due to improper revenue recognition.
