Blockchain? NO, we are not talking about cryptocurrencies! We are talking about security.
Our CB Blockchain Seal solution, launched in 2019, ensures data integrity. If you care about auditability and compliance, read on.
Companies now realize that blockchain is more than Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. A great example of this is using blockchain technology to secure documents and processes.
Why is blockchain not a mainstream solution for data integrity yet? What problems are companies facing?
- Not grasping how it can benefit their company
- Not understanding how it works
- Not knowing where it will fit with their existing software
- Worrying that it will take too long or be too expensive
- Not knowing where to start
Benefits of using Blockchain Technology to Secure Documents
Let's start by addressing the benefits of securing documents and processes using blockchain technology. Companies know that their data needs to be:
- Accurate
- Complete
- Consistent
This is data integrity. In the end, data integrity means trustworthy data. But where does blockchain come in?
Securing Documents and Maintaining Data Integrity using CB Blockchain Seal
The second question is how CB Blockchain Seal helps in securing documents. The key thing to understand is that you can use blockchain to prove there was no document tampering.
If you are curious about the technical aspect of it, here is how CB Blockchain Seal works: for each document you want to seal, the software creates a digital fingerprint of that document (called a hash). Then it picks up multiple hashes and hashes them again. The result is what we call a super hash. That super hash is what the software sends to the blockchain.
The fact that the blockchain is a distributed ledger means that whatever you store there cannot be tampered with. The fact that we are sending the super hash (and not the data) to the blockchain means you can use the blockchain power at a fraction of the cost. It also means you can write up to 1 million transactions per second, even on public blockchains. And in the end, what all that means is what really matters: you have trustworthy data.
You can do data verification at any time after the document is stamped. The check is done with a simple click. By using blockchain technology, there is a way to prove no one has tampered with the data, the documents and the processes.
Can I have a Solution Now?
The good news is that this is not theoretical research. You can implement CB Blockchain Seal right now, in a cost-effective way.
Watch a live demo of CB Blockchain Seal and the full webinar "Data Integrity Solution based on Blockchain Technology" presented by Connecting Software (Austria/US) and Cryptowerk (US).
This solution allows sealing documents in standard business programs on everybody's desktop — no need to learn blockchain or any new software.
On the demo, you will see the solution working with Microsoft SharePoint. Nonetheless, you can seal documents with one click in any business system. Here are some examples: CRM (Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce, SugarCRM), enterprise resource planning systems (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365 BC, FO), document management platforms (Microsoft SharePoint).
Users keep working with the software they are familiar with, and they can seal and verify documents with a simple click or automatically. CB Blockchain Seal ensures data compliance and trust to businesses. It is faster and more cost-effective than the certificates you might currently use and any other sealing technology.
You can integrate any system with any blockchain (public or private). Make no mistake: we leverage this technology for you, so you don't need to learn about blockchain, hashes or distributed ledgers. This means lighter and faster projects and no risk.
What about Data Compliance?
There is a multitude of regulations to comply with these days: GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, SOX, and New York's SHIELD act are among the main ones.
For any of these, it is important that document under the control of the company. That's why with CB Blockchain Seal, the documents do not leave the internal network. As no sensitive data is transferred outside of your internal network – only digital fingerprints - compliance is guaranteed.
Business Use Cases
The spectrum of cases to which you can apply Smart Stamps is broad. It all depends on what do you want to do:
- Accelerate your business data compliance
- Ensure full data auditability
- Prove the integrity and authenticity of documents and processes
- Prevent data tampering and fraud
All these can be achieved with CB Blockchain Seal.
What Areas Can Benefit from Using Blockchain Seals?
There are several types of companies that can benefit from using Blockchain seals:
- Companies with external or internal audits
- Research
- Healthcare
- Manufacturing
- Government and public organizations

What underlying token and blockchain are used to seal the documents? Is this a private blockchain controlled by you or a public, auditable blockchain?
Author
We are using public, auditable blockchains, namely Bitcoin and Ethereum. We will get in touch with you soon so we can go over any questions you would like answered. We can also schedule a live demo if you want to see how this all works for yourself.
