Forensic & Compliance Systems is dedicated to the public sector's commitment to modernization. We work in partnership with all areas of Local and Central Government including the Criminal Justice and Emergency Services, Defence, Health and Education.
Cryoserver delivers cost effective improvements to public sector services that rely on access to data held in email systems. With e-communications now an everyday part of the information exchange between Government and citizens, reliable and fast access to historic email content, (much of which is often kept on difficult to search off-line backup tape), is essential for legal and records management purposes.
The Cryoserver solution provides a trusted, audited mechanism allowing confident access to original source material, in a manner consistent with Data Protection requirements.
At Forensic & Compliance Systems, we understand the risks and positive impact that changes in electronic communications technology such as email, instant messaging and mobile phone text messaging is making, and the challenges that public sector organizations face to operate under legislation such as:
- Civil Contingencies Act 2004
- Freedom of Information Act 2000
- Data Protection Act 1998
- Human Rights Act 1998
- Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000
- Employment Law
- Local Government Act 1972 Section(s) 224 & 228
- Local Government Act 1974 part 3
- Local Government (Access to Information) Act 1985
- BS7799 (ISO 17799)
