What is ProofMark?

ProofMark’s patented Transient Key℠ technology tags your electronic business records with a self-validating cryptographic seal that acts as a “tamper indicator” based on a true and provable time-reference datum. A ProofMark irrefutably proves that the content of a record has not been changed since the ProofMark was applied, no matter where the data resides or who controls it. Learn more
