DATA INTEGRITY

Self-healing integrity checks and file availability audits along with digitally signed metadata files and third-
Chain of Custody party secure time stamps work together for the utmost protection of files within Assureon. Together, this
applies a verifiable chain of custody to each data set throughout the retention period.

Files are continually verified against their fingerprints, repaired using their copies and safeguarded by RAID

disk arrays for days or decades.

Each time a file is saved, a unique fingerprint is generated using both an MD5 and SHA1 hash of its contents
Fingerprints
and metadata, so history and contents cannot be altered after the fact (WORM storage).

Secure Time Tampering with the system time clock is prevented by using a global, redundant, secure time source.

File Audit Each file is assigned a serial number which is used to ensure no files are missing or inappropriately added.

Each file and its fingerprint is stored twice in the Assureon. The second copy is either stored in a separate
