Data is stored in a way that prevents it from being altered; any changes are documented and can be traced at any time.

Audit compliance is not a technical luxury, but a requirement
What makes an archiving system truly audit-proof?
The theory is clear, but what happens when things get serious?
A local savings bank was preparing for an internal audit. However, financial and contractual documents had not been archived in an audit-compliant manner, which created audit risks and resulted in additional work. Using FileLock, the bank was able to quickly implement audit-compliant archiving on its existing infrastructure—documents are now tamper-proof, changes are traceable, and audits are significantly faster.
The result:
- No fines, full audit certification
- 70% time savings on internal audits
- Verifiable data integrity spanning more than 15 years
- Audit-proof archiving without changing systems
