Is PEAX audit-compliant?
Audit compliance refers to the proper, secure, and traceable storage of electronic documents. Information must be stored in such a way that it is complete, unalterable, protected, and available at all times, with all accesses and changes being logged in a traceable manner.
PEAX places the highest priority on the legally compliant and audit-proof archiving of your documents. Our system meets the requirements of Swiss standards, such as the GeBüV and the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO).
What does this mean for you in concrete terms?
