archive

Presentation of the speakers
• Vincent Sterken (Functional Consultant)
• Danny Roefflaer (IT Infrastructure Architect)
= Complete coverage of the archival chain

Concepts
• Archiving in view of legal requirements– “Legal archiving” = marketing term!– The key objective is to legitimate electronic
information by conferring it the same legal value as paper information
• Evidence– Admissibility– Probative value– Conclusive force
![Page 6: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Concepts
• What do I need? – Archive in such a way that the record is preserved
with all the elements necessary to confer legal value
– Compliant procedures• Capture• Archival processes• Archival storage
![Page 7: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Legal context
![Page 8: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Applicable laws
• Law on VAT, Art. 60– Concerns
• Physical and electronic financial records on Belgian soil• Electronic financial records in the EU member states
– Conditions for conservation– Preservation guarantees need to be provided– Data concerning the preservation must be conserved as well– Invoices received in paper format may be digitized (art. 32, L.
27/12/2005) if the preservation guarantees are maintained– Retention period = 7 years
![Page 9: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Applicable laws
• Royal Order (RO) n° 1 art. 8, 29/12/1992 (modified by Art. 5, RO 17.05.2007)– Royal Order = Koninklijk Besluit (KB)-Arrêté Royal
(AR)– A double must be preserved of every outgoing
invoice by the supplier or the service provider
![Page 10: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Applicable laws
• AFER 16/2008 (E.T. 112.081) dd. 13/05/2008– Administrative circular
• FPS Economy• Transl.: Omzendbrief – circulaire
– Condition and terms for storing and archiving the e-invoices and e-data based on the VAT law
– Legal context on the production and the archiving of e-docs
![Page 11: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Conditions
• Documents to be archived– Incoming invoices– Outgoing invoices– Contracts– Related financial records
(e.g. ledgers, fixed assets table, …)
![Page 12: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conditions
• Conservation– Original form or digitized if in paper form– Guarantees for the preservation of:
• Authenticity of the invoice's origin; • Integrity of the invoice's contents;• Readability during the retention period
![Page 13: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Capture
![Page 14: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Goal
• Identify the scanning operator for every image• Guarantee
– the tracability of every image– the inalterability
• of the scanned images• of the sequence of the scanned images
Ex. delete an image, move an image from one document to another document, etc...
![Page 15: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Goal
• The integrity and authenticity of the images must be guaranteed during the whole workflow:– Scanning– Indexing– Quality control– Export
![Page 16: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
IRIS Powerscan 9
• Advanced scanning software• Legal Scanning Mode
– Available as an add-on– Compliant with AFER 16/2008 (certified by FPS Finance
since January 2010)
![Page 17: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Implementation• Identification
– Certificate or Belgian eID– “Legal Scanning” role with limited rights
• Scanning– Digital Signature – Time Stamping
• Validation: – Integrity– Authenticity
• Processing– “Legal Scanning” option to ensure that the images won’t
be modified during the export

Archival storage
![Page 19: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Goal
• Manage archival storage in a cost effective way
• Guarantee– Readability during the retention period– Inalterability of the object and its contents
![Page 20: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Typical archive infrastructure
• Application services– Collection of data from existing electronic data
repositories– Access to data for applications and users– Managing, indexing and routing the (pointers of) data
• Repositories– Database Storage Area(s)– File Storage Area(s)– Fixed Content Area(s)
![Page 21: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Secure storage
• IBM Information Archive– Universal archiving repository
• Optimizes storage infrastructure• High performance
– Modular– Highly scalable
![Page 22: Archiving for legal purposes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070416/568150a8550346895dbeb7d9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Secure storage
• Tamperproof– Set each file’s expiration date
– never permitted to shorten them– Mark files “read only”– No alterations, overwrites or
deletions possible until file expiration

Secure storage
– System Storage Archive Manager (SSAM)• Specialized version of Tivoli Storage Manager• Provides variety of data retention policies
– Chronological – Event-based– Deletion hold
• Automated data migration services• Sharing of tape libraries
– Industry’s most advanced data protection features

Data Deduplication
and Compression
Storage capacity optimization
Improved productivity.
Data Shredding
Explicit overwrite of deleted data to make it difficult to discover or reconstruct that data later.
Enhanced Tamper
Protection
Limited access to unrestricted administrative accounts within the archive system.
Protect data when transmitted over the network
Enhanced security via 128-bit AES or 56-bit DES encryption technology.
Data Encryption
Secure storage

Archiving invoices
• Legal context– We can digitize and subsequently destroy paper invoices– If we provide guarantees regarding the preservation of
• Authenticity of the invoice's origin; • Integrity of the invoice's contents;• Readability during the retention period
• Compliant procedures– Capture (e.g. scanning with IRIS Powerscan 9)– Archival processes– Archival storage (with e.g. IBM Information archive)
