Describe the defamatory/threatening content to certify (URL if available, preliminary screenshots, situation description). You’ll receive within 2-4 hours technical feasibility assessment, most suitable acquisition methodology, timeline and detailed economic quote.
Why screenshots are not sufficient evidence
❌ PROBLEM 1: Easily falsifiable
Screenshots can be created/modified with free online tools in minutes – modify text, change usernames, alter dates, add/remove comments. Opposing party can claim “it’s fake, manipulated” and judge has no technical way to verify authenticity retrospectively.
❌ PROBLEM 2: Volatile content can disappear
Defamatory content is often deleted by author after causing consequences (complaint, legal warning, negative reactions) precisely to make evidence disappear. Without preventive certification, you remain without evidentiary elements. Screenshot doesn’t prove content actually existed online at that date.
❌ PROBLEM 3: Lack of chain of custody
Screenshot doesn’t provide documented chain of custody – doesn’t prove WHO made acquisition, WHEN exactly, with WHAT tools, whether INTACT or modified after. Courts require evidence with certified chain of custody to consider it admissible.
✅ SOLUTION: Professional forensic certification
Our certification creates unassailable documentation: complete forensic acquisition according ISO/IEC 27037:2012, qualified eIDAS timestamp valid EU (RFC 3161 international option for worldwide recognition), SHA-256 hash guarantees integrity, qualified digital signature authenticates package, FEDIS declaration for court admissibility, complete documented chain of custody, expert witness availability for technical testimony.

Defamatory/threatening online content is often deleted after victim reacts legally. Accounts are closed, posts deleted, profiles made private. Every hour of delay increases risk of evidence loss. Preventive certification is the only way to guarantee content preservation with legal evidentiary value.
