FileVision and the British Standard PD0008

FileVision has been specifically designed to include facilities that assist a company's compliance to the British Standard PD0008: 1999, Legal Admissability and Evidential Weight of Information Stored Electronically. The primary objectives of these facilities are to authenticate that the stored image is a true facsimile of the original and that it has not been altered in any way.

FileVision facilitates compliance to the British Standard PD0008 as follows:



Audit Trail - FileVision audits every action on a document, including who opens, prints, changes, reviews or deletes it. The audit trail cannot be altered or tampered with and would therefore support evidence of a document's integrity.

Version Control - All versions of a document are recorded and accessible to FileVision. No matter how much a document evolves, the "original" version can be accessed complete with date and time stamps. Users, dates and times are recorded against each and every version/change of a document.

Backup - FileVision allows for automated backup routines using compress database files. Provided that the company follows a backup policy, the whole system's integrity is maintained.

Archive - FileVision allows for documents to be "archived" off the sytem based on automated routines set up by the client. This is all audited through the Audit Trail. Archived documents can be retrieved if required for evidence.

 

System Security - FileVision has comprehensive customisable system security. Whole areas of the system, as well as specific functionality can be disallowed, to individuals or groups of users, therefore providing the ability to disallow modification or deletion (for example). The system can monitor, and report (by email if required) attempts at unauthorised access.

Document Security - Document, File, and Cabinet security provides impenetrable locking to users, or groups of users to prevent unauthorised access at the document level. Any changes to a document's security level are recorded by the Audit Trail.

Encryption - FileVision encrypts all scanned images into its own secure format. Once filed in FileVision, the images can only be viewed with FileVision's viewer, and cannot be opened by any other image manipulation software. This guarantees the integrity of the Scanned document image. The only alterations that can be made to a scanned image are (and they are fully audited) annotation layers (such as highlights and post-it notes) and appended or added pages.
