This gives you reliable digital records that support audits, disputes and long term compliance.

Qualified Trust Service Provider (eArchiving and Preservation).

OAIS aligned preservation.

European data residency (or where you would like your data to reside).

The problem: digital evidence often fails long before it is needed

Digital information is more fragile than many organisations realise. Signatures expire, formats become unreadable and systems are replaced. Information is often incomplete, poorly classified or stored in places that do not support long term trust. When a dispute, inspection or audit takes place, companies sometimes discover that records they relied on cannot be defended.

Why this is happening

Information enters the organisation through many uncontrolled channels.

Documents are stored in systems that were never designed for preservation.

Manual classification or tagging is inconsistent or missing.

Signed documents lose their evidential value when certificates expire.

Legacy systems become unstable, too expensive to maintain or exposed to cyber incidents.

What this means for you

Organisations cannot rely on their information unless they can prove:

What the document is?

Where it came from?

That it has not changed.

And that all context and metadata remain intact.

Without this, the organisation carries legal, operational and reputational risk.

From active document to evidence ready record

Step 1: Collect

Capture documents from any source, including DMS, email, portals, scanners, business applications and external platforms. Vault Collect, Vault Ingest and our integration connectors ensure that information arrives in a clean, controlled and complete way. We remove guesswork at the point of entry.

Step 2: Process

Document classification, metadata extract, completeness checks, signature validation, format identification and other checks that prepare content for long term preservation.

 

Our intelligent document processing capabilities ensure that:

Documents are recognised automatically.

Essential fields are extracted.

and the organisation knows exactly what it is preserving.

Step 3: Preserve

Convert documents into Archival Information Packages, seal them with evidence records and qualified timestamps and apply retention, legal holds and migration rules.

Step 4: Share

Provide secure and auditable access to internal users, auditors, inspectors and partners without exposing operational systems.

A standards based archive that delivers legal certainty and solves real information problems

Docbyte Vault is not simply a storage platform. It is a certified preservation solution designed to maintain evidential value and trust in your records over the very long term.

Certainty

Legal grade evidence for every record. Each document is preserved as an Archival Information Package with fixity checks, qualified timestamps and evidence records, so you can always prove its origin and integrity.

Continuity

Long term preservation and cyber resilience. Docbyte Vault keeps documents readable, renews evidence when technology changes and adds an additional resilience layer against cyber incidents. It preserves content independently of the original system and provides a secure backup of critical information.

Control

Retention and access under full control. Retention rules, legal holds, audit grade deletion and attribute based access ensure preservation is aligned with legal, regulatory and operational needs.

Preservation you can explain with confidence

Docbyte Vault is aligned with the OAIS reference model and uses recognised standards such as ETSI 119.511, ETSI 119.512, E-ARK and ISO guidance for digital preservation. Every action in the archive can be traced, explained and reproduced.

Key points

OAIS functional model applied to ingest, archival storage, data management, access, preservation planning and administration.

Evidence Record Syntax ensures long term proof of integrity.

Qualified preservation of electronic signatures and seals in line with eIDAS.

This gives auditors, regulators and internal risk teams a clear and trusted explanation of how your organisation preserves digital evidence.

What you can achieve with Docbyte Vault

Preserve digitally signed contracts, agreements and consents with full evidential strength.

Archive policies, claims and underwriting files so that they support audits, disputes and investigations.

Retire legacy applications while keeping their records accessible and trustworthy.

Bring together documents from multiple systems into one evidence ready repository.

Maintain readability through format validation and migration over time.

Apply consistent retention and deletion rules and demonstrate compliance whenever needed.

Modules built for preservation

Vault Ingest

Ingest high volumes of documents, transform them into SIPs and AIPs and validate their structure before accepting them into the archive.
