Voicevault receives certification under EU Directive

VoiceVault has announced that it has become the first organisation in the world to achieve an accredited certification by Certification Europe under EU Directive 1999/93/EC on Electronic Signatures using a biometric technology.

Certification Europe, the standard certification company that conducted the external certification is the first European company to achieve accreditation by the National Accreditation Board in the field of electronic signatures.

In addition to being a world first for Voicevault, this is a significant achievement for two further reasons, firstly because it gives legal significance to the use of voice verification as an electronic signing technology and secondly because it certifies VoiceVault as a trusted certification service provider.

In the area of electronic signatures and digital certificates the onus is on the certification provider to establish trust in the services it offers. It can do so by displaying that it is operating to best practice, implementing the highest levels of signature owner identity, managing signatures in a secure manner and achieving independent assessment and certification. Voicevault has demonstrated all of these through certification to the highest industry standards, BS7799/IS17799 and EU Directive 1999/93/EC on electronic signatures.

Ireland has been a constant leader in the area of E-Commerce, being the first to enact the EU Directive on Electronic Signatures in national legislation through the Electronic Commerce Act 2000. Voicevault continues this leadership in the E-commerce areas and believes that it’s offering will revolutionise the way trust is handled in the Internet environment.

Voicevault, world leaders in voice verification, provides a range of business solutions using the innovative patented Voicevault™ technology, boasting the best accuracy and highest speed of verification, and lowest cost of ownership.
