BSI PD 5000:1999

Electronic Documents and e-Commerce Transactions as Legally Admissible Evidence': the BSI code of practice, PD 5000:1999, enables organisations to demonstrate the authenticity of their electronic documents and e-commerce transactions, so they can be used as legally admissible evidence.

The parts are:

  1. Information Stored Electronically (DISC PD 0008:1999)
  2. Electronic Communication and e-mail Policy
  3. Identity, Signature and Copyright
  4. Using Certification Authorities
  5. Using Trusted Third Party Archives

PD 5000:1999 can help firms put management systems in place to show appropriate proof of:

  • delivery of e-mail and attached documents
  • authenticity and integrity of the messages
  • the use of encryption to ensure message privacy
