How to create value with Digital Timestamping and Electronic Seal
Some companies may need to track and ensure the integrity of the data they generate, for regulatory reasons (such as electronic invoicing), compliance (certification and standards), or auditing (for example, inspections by the DGCCRF).
By offering options for creating digital proof embedded within their IT systems, software and platforms meet their clients’ needs for proof and integrity, which they use daily to manage their processes.

- Upsell opportunity
- Increase in perceived product value
- Development of user satisfaction and loyalty
Time and efficiency gains
- Automated API interfacing
- Seamless and rapid integration, with no impact on the product roadmap
Security and integrity of data
Our timestamping solution is eIDAS qualified to meet your clients’ needs for irrefutable proof and data integrity.
The role of software publishers
in digitisation
Faced with the challenges implied by the digital transformation, companies are seeking sustainable and reliable solutions to ensure the traceability and integrity of their data. This is where software publishers can add value by integrating traceability and digital proof creation solutions into their systems.
Qualified timestamping certifies the date and time of creation or occurrence of a document or transaction, providing an unalterable proof of its existence at a specific moment. The electronic seal, on the other hand, is the digital equivalent of a company stamp. It guarantees the origin, integrity, and authenticity of a document while detecting any unauthorized modifications.
Why choose
an eIDAS-qualified trust service provider?
Evidency is a qualified eIDAS provider. This qualification ensures that our certified services meet the highest standards of data security and integrity, through rigorous controls and regular audits by competent authorities such as ANSSI in France.
eIDAS qualification ensures that the evidence generated is admissible in all courts within the EU, as well as in the UK.
By collaborating with a qualified provider, software publishers can offer their clients an irrefutable guarantee of traceability and immutability for digital transactions, which is crucial in sensitive sectors such as healthcare, finance, and logistics.
Moreover, these services help ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, thereby avoiding potential penalties and enhancing client trust in the proposed solutions.

FAQ
Software publishers
Why should a software publisher integrate a timestamping service into their solution?
Integrating a qualified timestamping service allows your software to guarantee the authenticity and integrity of your users’ data over time. It strengthens the digital evidence, secures electronic transactions and documents, and provides strong legal value in the event of a dispute or audit. By adding this feature, your software stands out and becomes a higher-value tool for your clients.
What types of software can benefit from timestamping?
Electronic timestamping is useful for any software that handles sensitive documents or data: document management systems, invoicing and accounting tools, legal software, collaborative platforms, CRM systems, or workflow applications. In fact, any software requiring traceability, security, and regulatory compliance can benefit from timestamping and electronic sealing.
How can I integrate Evidency timestamping into my software?
Integration is straightforward via our secure REST APIs, designed to automate timestamping and electronic sealing directly from your application. You can timestamp documents or data streams in real time, with a process that is fully transparent to the end user. Our team provides documentation and support for a fast integration that is compliant with eIDAS regulations.
What impact does timestamping have on the security and compliance of software?
Qualified timestamping and electronic sealing enhance security by ensuring that data has not been altered after creation. They contribute to legal compliance (eIDAS, GDPR) and the reliability of electronic archives. For software publishers, this translates into increased credibility with clients and partners, as well as stronger legal protection.
Can timestamping be used for high-volume flows or bulk operations?
Yes. Evidency solutions support high-volume timestamping and batch operations, allowing large sets of documents or data to be processed automatically. This makes our solution ideal for document management software, ERP systems, digitalisation platforms, or electronic archiving systems, while maintaining legal value and digital evidence.
Can data be timestamped without exposing its content?
Absolutely. Thanks to secure hashing mechanisms, data can be timestamped without ever being transmitted in plain text. This ensures confidentiality and integrity while providing indisputable digital evidence of the existence and original content at the time of timestamping.
