In an increasingly demanding regulatory environment (AI Act, GDPR, NIS2, MiFID II\/MiFIR, DORA, MiCA, Data Act\u2026), businesses must demonstrate the traceability<\/strong>, authenticity<\/strong>, and above all the integrity<\/strong> of their critical data.<\/p>\n

Qualified timestamping<\/strong>, as defined by the eIDAS regulation, enables compliance with these requirements. By recording the fingerprint (hash) of each strategic event or data point via API, organisations gain legally admissible evidence: the date and time are legally presumed accurate<\/strong>, and the integrity of the content is guaranteed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Legal advantage<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Qualified eIDAS timestamping provides legally admissible evidence during inspections, audits, or litigation. Under the eIDAS regulation, it carries a presumption of reliability and shifts the burden of proof to anyone who disputes it.<\/span>\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Operational advantage<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Qualified timestamping helps streamline verification processes and reduces exposure to penalties when compliance can be demonstrated.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Rising data volumes<\/span>
to trace and prove<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Evidency\u2019s qualified timestamping integrates at scale via API into your business systems to ensure a reliable audit trail across all critical data flows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • ERP \/ Finance:<\/strong>\u00a0orders, invoices, accounting closures, journal entries<\/li>\n
  • Trading \/ MiFID:<\/strong>\u00a0orders, executions, cancellations, voice or instant messaging records<\/li>\n
  • AI & data:<\/strong> dataset versions, models, artefacts, inference logs<\/li>\n
  • Security \/ Incidents (NIS2 \/ DORA):<\/strong> SIEM logs, incident timelines, alert notifications<\/li>\n
  • R&D \/ Industry:<\/strong> specifications, test reports, validations, PLM\/MES, laboratory notebooks<\/li>\n
  • Legal \/ Contracts:<\/strong> consents, NDAs, amendments, proof of notification<\/li>\n
  • Crypto \/ MiCA:<\/strong>\u00a0operational logs, transactions, compliance reports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Depending on the size and sector of the organisation, these flows can represent several million, or even tens of millions, of events per year. Qualified timestamping automates the generation of legally admissible proof<\/strong>, ensuring complete traceability<\/strong> that is enforceable and compliant with European regulations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    Step 3<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

    The client system hashes the data and sends the hash to be timestamped<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
