Lawyers, law firms and corporate legal departments handle growing volumes of digital information every day: emails, messages, web pages, contracts, photographs and videos. Evidence collection often relies on screenshots, manual saves and non-forensic tools, producing material that is easily challenged in court. At the same time, contracts, mandates, settlements and legal instruments require a signature that is legally robust and resistant to repudiation.

TrueScreen combines forensic-grade certification of digital content with a qualified electronic signature compliant with the eIDAS Regulation, delivering full evidentiary strength equivalent to a handwritten signature under EU and international frameworks. The result is a workflow that simultaneously ensures data security, regulatory compliance and faster case management.

FAQ: certified digital evidence for lawyers and law firms

1) How does TrueScreen certify digital evidence for use in court?
Every piece of content is sealed with a qualified digital signature, eIDAS-compliant timestamp and contextual metadata including geolocation, operator identity and certified date and time, producing evidence with full legal validity and complete chain of custody.
2) What makes TrueScreen’s digital signature harder to challenge than a standard e-signature?
TrueScreen’s qualified electronic signature complies with the eIDAS Regulation and carries the evidentiary strength of a handwritten signature. Repudiation requires the challenger to provide concrete proof of forgery, making it far more resistant to challenge than a simple electronic signature.

Yes. The attorney sends a simple link and the client captures content guided by the TrueScreen app directly from their device, with no technical expertise required. Files arrive already certified and organized.
4) Is TrueScreen-certified evidence admissible in both civil and criminal proceedings?
Yes. Qualified digital signature, eIDAS-compliant timestamp and geolocation render every piece of content authentic, tamper-proof and verifiable, admissible in civil, criminal and administrative proceedings and aligned with ISO 27037 standards.
5) How does TrueScreen integrate with practice management and case management systems?
Via API and SDK, TrueScreen connects to practice management platforms, case management tools, document repositories and archival systems, eliminating manual steps and centralizing evidence and signed documents in one traceable ecosystem.
