Solutions Group to Offer Next Generation ESI Integrity and File
Transfer Security
Solution for GRC and eDiscovery Markets
eDiscovery Solutions Group Announces
Partnership with Tru Data Integrity Limited to Market the TruSeal™
Electronically Stored Information (ESI) Integrity and File Transfer
Security Solution to Technology Vendors and End-users in the
eDiscovery and Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) markets
New York, New York (October 6, 2009) - eDiscovery Solutions
Group, an emerging leader in providing comprehensive eDiscovery and
Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) consulting, services and
technology worldwide announced today that it has entered into a
partnership with Tru Data Integrity Limited, a European-based
provider of next generation Electronically Stored Information (ESI)
file transfer security solutions.
TruSeal™ is a next generation “disruptive” technology that
enables users to digitally fingerprint and timestamp any
Electronically Stored Information (ESI), assign a unique digital
signature, store the signature and associated information about the
ESI on a secure cloud based server and then require any third
parties that need to read the ESI to verify their credentials. All
calls to and from the server are securely encrypted as is the
TruSeal record. In addition, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
based system keeps a complete audit log of all activities.
Packaged for use by both end-user as a stand-alone system and as a
component to be integrated with Governance, Risk and Compliance
(GRC), eDiscovery and other ESI management platforms that require a
high level of data security and integrity, TruSeal™ is easy to use
and will fulfill the integrity requirements of even the most
stringent users.
TruSeal™ has successfully completed extensive testing at IBM's
Research and Development facility in Hursley in the United Kingdom.
TruSeal™ has been granted both hardware and software clearance
status for incorporation into value propositions throughout the IBM
organization. With IBM’s "chiphopper" and “blue
stack” status, TruSeal™ is now immediately available to work
with DB2, Lotus Notes and Websphere. Integrations with Domino,
Content Manager, Web forms and Tivoli are key elements of the
TruSeal™ product roadmap.
In addition, Sun Microsystems has integrated TruSeal™ in a new
approach to data retention. Focusing on communication service
providers (CSPs), Sun’s Secure Data Retrieval Server (SDRS),
combines data storage, highly secure operating system and data
management software with TruSeal™ to provide a solution to the new
EU Communication Data Retention initiative.
Further, Tru Data Integrity’s TruSeal™ product is the sole UK
Government accredited product to lend integrity to any digital
information on a COTS (commercial off the shelf) product. The GGAP
objective is to establish and formalize partnerships with IT and
business suppliers, and thereby facilitate innovation to assist the
EDT in the implementation of the Transformational Government Agenda.
Under the terms of the partnership, eDiscovery Solutions Group will
immediately begin marketing TruSeal™ to the legal and IT
departments of the Global
2000, law firms and to Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC),
eDiscovery and other ESI management platforms that require a high
level of data security and integrity.
“ESI security and integrity is an issue that has been on the minds
of every CIO in the Global 2000 for the past 10 years. However, when
you now have the real requirements of GRC and eDiscovery brought on
by changes to the federal rules of civil procedure and beefed up
government statutes to address the collapse of worldwide financial
systems in 2008, ESI security and integrity may be the single most
important issue facing the Global 2000 in 2009 and beyond,” states
Charles Skamser, President and CEO of eDiscovery Solutions Group.
“Therefore, we are very pleased to have formed a partnership with
an organization with the reputation of Tru Data Integrity Limited
and believe that together we will be very successful addressing the
needs of the ESI security markets for years for come,” added
Mr. Skamser.
Tru Data Integrity Limited is a company of Singlepoint Holdings
Limited, a privately funded international group, founded in 2003 to
address the compliance and legality issues affecting digital data.
Singlepoint Data Services Ltd, Tru Data Integrity’s sister
company, was born to meet the requirements of the Regulation of
Investigatory Powers Act (2000) (RIPA). It is the only organization
accredited by the Home Office to act as a 'clearing house' for
acquisition of communications data, as held by Telecommunications
and Internet Service Providers for lawful business purposes. Access
is required by a range of Law Enforcement Agencies including the
Security and Intelligence Services, all Police Services, and a
number of National Regulatory Bodies for the purpose of supporting
criminal investigations.
“We are very pleased to be partnering with eDiscovery Solutions
Group and becoming a member of the eDiscovery Solutions Group
worldwide consortium, “stated Alun Thomas, Chief Executive Tru
Data Integrity Limited, “We believe that TruSeal™
will have an immediate and lasting impact on the GRC and eDiscovery
markets for both end users and solution vendors, ” added Mr.
Thomas.
The worldwide security
software market will total $14.5 billion in 2009, an 8 per cent
increase from 2008, according to Gartner, Inc. In 2008, it grew at
19 per cent, and Gartner anticipates the market to grow 13 per cent
in 2010 as revenue will total $16.3 billion. In Europe, the
security software
market will total €3.2 billion in 2009, representing 7 per cent
growth from 2008.
“Although the worldwide security software market is affected by
the economic downturn, the growth will continue to be strong in 2009
as security remains a critical area where drastic cuts cannot be
afforded,” said Ruggero Contu, principal research analyst at
Gartner. “In the medium term, the greatest growth opportunities
will come from software as a service (SaaS), appliance based
offering and small and medium businesses (SMBs), which are in
security catch-up mode compared with large companies and therefore
spend a higher percentage of their budgets on security.

available in the Gartner report “Market Trends: Security Markets,
Worldwide, 2007-2013.” The report is available on Gartner’s
