Certified digital evidence for litigation: guaranteed legal validity

Certify photos, videos, documents and screenshots at the source with digital signature and timestamp for indisputable evidence in court.

In civil or commercial disputes, the ability to demonstrate facts with reliable digital evidence is decisive. Article 2712 of the Italian Civil Code grants full evidentiary value to digital reproductions, unless the opposing party specifically contests their authenticity.

Screenshots, photographs and videos without authenticity guarantees risk being challenged and losing all value in court. Without certification at the source, reconstructing when and where content was acquired becomes impossible. TrueScreen certifies every piece of digital evidence at the moment of collection with digital signature and timestamp, ensuring authenticity, integrity and certain temporal placement.
