Without question, email has become the most dangerous form of electronic record in memory. Increasingly, organizations must produce archived emails as evidence in a legal, regulatory, or patent dispute. And the ease with which email records can be backdated, deleted, or altered puts organizations at extreme risk. How can you be certain that the emails you retrieve from your archiving system are authentic and have not been altered since they were first sent or received? Now more than ever, you need AbsoluteProof® from Surety.
Email archives now pose one of the greatest legal risks for most organizations.
Indefinite proof | Date…time…content
In numerous highly visible court cases, doctored email records have proven to be the deciding piece of evidence. Today, your ability to prove the time, date, and content of electronic records is pivotal in defending the integrity of archived emails in a legal dispute.
AbsoluteProof provides indisputable evidence of exactly when an email was created and that it has not been tampered with, deleted, or backdated since. By using AbsoluteProof to archive and time-stamp all of your emails, you maintain a tamper-evident record of all electronic mail that can be cost-effectively retrieved and defended in court.
Audit trail | Records all email traffic
With AbsoluteProof, every email is automatically archived with a digital time-stamp that stands the test of time. As part of this process, you’ll maintain an independent audit trail of all email traffic. Because the records in the audit trail are cryptographically linked and securely time-stamped, it is impossible to add or delete items from the email archive without detection.
Fraud deterrent | Tamper-evident email
Because it’s never been easier to tamper with email archives—and to hide the tracks—it’s imperative not only to implement a data integrity solution, but to publicize it with a secure time-stamp placed on every email message.
By capturing all email traffic in a tamper-evident archive, you create a strong, visible deterrent against email forgery and fraud. And you can offer compelling evidence in disciplinary or legal actions.
