Editorial Team and Methodology

TrueScreen protects, verifies and certifies data authenticity, protecting it from fraud, disputes and tampering. On this site we publish articles and insights on digital evidence, content certification and the rules that govern them. These are subjects where an outdated figure or a misquoted regulation can mislead you.

This page explains how that content is researched, checked and updated.

Who Writes Our Content

Articles and insights carry the byline of the TrueScreen editorial team. It is a collective byline: it stands for the team at TrueScreen that produces the site’s editorial content and sets its rules.

The byline does not point to the titles or expertise of individuals, and we do not use invented author profiles or generated author photos. The site and its content are published by TrueScreen Srl, based in Bologna, Italy.

Where the Information Comes From

Each kind of information follows its own rule.

• About TrueScreen. Products, features, limits and the legal value of certifications are described from the company’s official documentation. The rule is that anything not documented there does not go into the text.
• About laws, rulings and standards. We start from the primary source: the text of the law, the published ruling, the technical standard, or the document issued by the authority or institution.
• About market data and statistics. We use surveys and reports from identifiable bodies and organizations, with their publication year. The rule is to remove a figure we can’t verify, or to present it as an estimate.

In content written with the current method, every external figure or principle links to its original source. In content that uses our latest layout, sources are also listed at the bottom of the page under “Sources and verification”, with type and date.

Content published before this method was in place doesn’t always meet this standard: some pieces cite few external sources, or none. These pieces are due for review.

How Links and Legal References Are Checked

• Links. Links are checked at publication: each one must open a working page. Later checks across the site can flag links that stop working, and those are then replaced.
• Legislation. As a rule, a reference to a law names the article and, where one exists, links to the text published by official sources such as government gazettes and public legislation databases.
• Legislation and language. English content cites international legal frameworks, such as eIDAS and ISO/IEC 27037. It does not present Italian law as if it applied elsewhere.

Legal Value and Regulation: How Claims Are Checked

This is where accuracy matters most, because you may rely on the information in a decision or a dispute.

• Statements about the legal value of TrueScreen certifications use company-approved wording and go through a dedicated automated check before publication. When a text mentions the qualified electronic seal and qualified timestamp, for example, it must make clear that TrueScreen is not a trust service provider or a certification authority.
• As a rule, our content does not promise the outcome of a proceeding: how evidence is weighed depends on the specific case and on the court.

These checks verify the wording used; they are not a legal review of the content.

Updates and Dates

• Articles and insights show their publication date. When a piece is substantially revised (new data, a change in the law, a rewritten section), an update date appears as well.
• Minor edits, such as a replaced link or a fixed typo, leave the date unchanged: an update date with no real change behind it would mislead you.
• Published content can be reviewed to refresh data, legal references and links.

How to Report an Error

If you spot a mistake (an outdated figure, an imprecise legal reference, a broken link), write to TrueScreen through the Contact page, with the page address and what needs fixing.

Reports are reviewed and checked against the source. If the error is confirmed, we correct the text; if the correction changes the meaning of the information, the update date changes too.

Data you submit in a report is handled as described in our privacy policy. Please do not include other people’s personal data.
