Digital trust and Arclib
Compliance with local and international standards and regulations
Building digital trust with clients is one thing; having that trust audited and validated by independent organizations is another.
This process is both demanding and costly, requiring the involvement of various third-party providers (consulting firms, external auditors, etc.) to obtain certifications. It stands as a strong guarantee of quality for our Arclib service.
Achieving digital trust is a true obstacle course toward certification: ISO 27001, NF Z42-013, NF 461, eIDAS, PSCo, and more. Arclib has successfully met and validated all of these certifications through independent audits.
Our commitment does not stop there, as these certifications must be renewed every two to three years with the same external auditors. This approach is fully aligned with a long-term perspective.
Continuous verification, guaranteeing the integrity of your archive repository
Contrary to common belief, nothing is more dynamic than an electronic archive. The integrity and legal evidential value of each item are regularly exposed to technological change and evolution: storage migrations, format migrations, technological disruptions, all carried out with the aim of preserving the evidential value of archived objects.
Once an electronic document has been fed into the Arclib solution and its metadata assigned, the system immediately calculates a digital fingerprint (hash) at capture time and applies electronic signatures and timestamps.
It is the continuous monitoring of these markers, performed by Arclib in the background, that guarantees the digital original injected is indeed the same original that will be presented as evidence to a judge or court-appointed expert in the event of legal proceedings.
Implementing state-of-the-art records management with OAIS
Although Arclib is not an EDM, it must still ensure that the lifecycle of all electronic documents fed into its repository is managed in full compliance with applicable rules.
This is why the service design strictly adheres to the OAIS (Open Archival Information System) framework, an international recommendation widely recognized by the records management community. This initiative defines best practices for designing an electronic information management system, and the Arclib service has been built around these recommendations and their updates.
Compliance at the core of Arclib’s strategy
At the core of Arclib’s mission is the protection of companies’ critical data. By complying with strict standards such as the NF Z42-013 certification and the European eIDAS regulation, the platform guarantees optimal long-term preservation of documents.
These standards are not just legal obligations; they are the foundation of impeccable records management. The NF Z42-013 standard, for example, governs electronic archiving systems in France, ensuring the reliability, traceability, and integrity of data.
The eIDAS regulation strengthens this framework by introducing European-wide standards for trust services, particularly regarding electronic signatures and the secure preservation of archives.
With Arclib, organizations benefit from a compliant environment that offers enhanced protection for their data while reinforcing their alignment with European regulatory requirements.
Thanks to its digital safe, companies’ critical data is stored in a secure environment, protected from any alteration or unauthorized access. The use of advanced encryption technologies and rigorous access control ensures that only authorized individuals can view or handle these documents. This security-driven approach goes beyond simple data storage: it also guarantees the long-term availability and integrity of information, while meeting the expectations of auditors and regulators.
Traceability and data integrity management
With Arclib, every action performed on a document creation, modification, or consultation is recorded and timestamped, ensuring complete traceability of events.
This granular log management enables organizations to prove a document’s validity at any time and to reconstruct the full history of all interactions related to it. This mechanism is crucial not only for meeting legal and regulatory requirements, but also for maintaining full transparency in archive management.
