The following features guarantee the legal archiving of electronic documents through a secure web environment, accessible 24 hours a day from anywhere with an internet connection.
How does EDICOMLta attribute evidentiary value to the archived documents?
One of the main values provided by an approved e-Filing system is the legal evidentiary value of the documents in the event of a possible confrontation with a third party or litigation.
An electronic seal and an electronic time stamp qualified by the eIDAS Regulation are applied sequentially. With a qualified electronic seal, we guarantee the integrity of the document. With the Time Stamping, we objectively prove the exact moment (date and time) the document was preserved.
Qualified electronic time stamps are applied regularly over time (usually every two years) to extend the reliability of the electronic seal beyond its usual technological validity. In this process, we use the qualified, trustworthy service of electronic seal preservation.
An Internationally-Certified Platform
The EDICOMLta solution is designed and certified in compliance with the highest international digital archiving standards.
In addition, it has local certifications in regions where specific electronic preservation laws exist, such as Conservazione Elettronica or NOM151 in Mexico.
