    ProofMark offers fast and irrefutable proof that the content of a record has not changed since the ProofMark was applied, no matter where the information resides or who controls it. ProofSpace's patented Transient Key™ Trusted Timestamping technology tags electronic business records with a self-validating cryptographic seal that acts as a "tamper indicator" based on a true and provable time-reference datum, impossible to manipulate, even by trusted insiders. Mixed with Symantec Enterprise Vault's Discovery Accelerator module, it significantly simplifies the process of authenticating business records during e-Discovery, resulting in lower legal and forensics costs.

    Paul Doyle, CEO of ProofSpace, stated: "Unfortunately, today's courts are less trusting of corporate America than ever before, and corporations increasingly need stronger authentication of electronically stored information that is capable of holding up during discovery and in the courtroom. We are pleased to be partnering with Symantec, combining our patented ProofMark cryptographic technologies with their industry-leading enterprise archiving solution to address this problem."

    Even more, George Paul, Esq., Partner at Lewis and Roca LLP, stated: "Companies have become pretty diligent in the past few years about archiving their business communications, but few realize that this might not be enough to get records admitted into evidence during a trial. Judges are beginning to demand authenticity guarantees. With solutions like the one ProofSpace offers, which achieves the key functionality of an ability to test data integrity through time, businesses can more easily show that the records stored in their archive have an intrinsic integrity that will stand up in a court of law."

    The company, Symantec, has partnered with a number of content classification and records management software providers to assist customers with Enterprise Vault in reducing their storage costs, removing unnecessary litigation risks and decreasing the time and cost related to discovery and search. ProofSpace is part of the Symantec Intelligent Archiving Partner program, developed to offer customers more data connected with the content and context of their information in order to make more informed decisions around archiving, storage, retention and discovery.
