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.

Solution
TrueScreen enables anyone who needs to produce evidence in court to certify photos, videos, screenshots and documents directly at the moment of acquisition. Each piece of content is digitally signed and timestamped, acquiring full evidentiary value under Article 2712 of the Italian Civil Code.
Certification at the source makes repudiation significantly more difficult for the opposing party, who would need to provide specific and detailed grounds for challenge. The entire evidence collection is managed in a structured way, with geolocation metadata and timestamps that document the circumstances of acquisition, eliminating the risk of unusable evidence.
Effective digital evidence preservation begins well before a dispute reaches the courtroom. A pre-litigation evidence preservation strategy ensures that critical digital assets, including emails, messaging conversations, social media posts, website content and electronic documents, are authenticated at the earliest possible stage. TrueScreen enables parties and their legal counsel to certify every relevant piece of content with digital signature, timestamp and forensic metadata, establishing the admissibility of digital evidence before opposing parties can challenge its integrity. The authentication of digital evidence through TrueScreen ensures that each file is sealed at the moment of capture, creating an immutable record that cannot be altered or backdated.
Courts across jurisdictions apply strict standards when evaluating digital evidence. Under the eIDAS Regulation, electronically signed and timestamped documents carry a presumption of integrity across all EU member states. In common law jurisdictions, the Federal Rules of Evidence (Rules 901 and 902) require authentication as a precondition for admissibility, a standard that TrueScreen satisfies through its forensic acquisition methodology and verifiable digital signature. By creating a complete, tamper-proof record at the point of collection, TrueScreen transforms digital evidence preservation from a reactive necessity into a proactive legal strategy that strengthens every stage of litigation.
