Surety’s Data Integrity Service Selected by Law Enforcement Services, Inc. to Secure Files for Personnel Screening
HERNDON, VA, May 5, 2003 – Surety, Inc., a leading provider of data integrity services, today announced that LESI® (Law Enforcement Services, Inc.) has selected its AbsoluteProofSM Data Integrity Service to secure files used for personnel screening by law enforcement, corrections, and public safety agencies.
AbsoluteProof, powered by Surety’s Digital Notary® Engine, generates irrefutable evidence of exactly what electronic records were created and precisely when—without using private keys or certificates. AbsoluteProof helps clients validate that digital information was created exactly when claimed and has not been altered since.
“Now more than ever, law enforcement agencies are relying on technology to streamline and strengthen their personnel selection process,” said Ellen Cuttler, President of LESI. “When creating, storing, and emailing sensitive electronic records—like personal history questionnaires and applicant suitability reports—it is imperative to ensure that they are complete and unaltered. Surety’s AbsoluteProof service gives our clients and us complete confidence in the integrity of those documents far into the future.”
LESI offers two solutions that help law enforcement agencies quickly target their recruitment efforts towards the most-qualified applicants: onlinePHQ™ automates the collection and analysis of personal history information, and Multi-domain Screening™ aggregates various measures of applicant suitability into a single report. AbsoluteProof protects the authenticity of the personnel records created with those systems indefinitely.
\"Surety’s patented process creates a unique digital ‘fingerprint’ for any electronic record, including word processing documents, email, spreadsheets, and PDF files. Once notarized, any tampering of the record is easily detected,” said Jim Clements, Vice President of Partner Development for Surety. “With this service, LESI can maintain a reliable chain of evidence for the personnel records created with its solutions. At any point in time, the company can prove exactly what information was originally captured and reported.”
