 -- Casdex, Inc., a California firm that specializes in secure data storage solutions, today announced the launch of its new, state-of-the-art digital archiving technology at the LegalTech Show, the legal industry's most important technology trade show.

Casdex provides remote data storage and digital archiving capabilities that are fully-secured, user-friendly and wholly compliant with SEC, HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act of 1996, Public Law 104-191) Also known as the "Kennedy-Kassebaum Act," this U.S. law protects employees' health insurance coverage when they change or lose their jobs (Title I) and provides standards for patient health,  and SOX (1) (Schema for Object-oriented XML) An XML schema developed by Veo Systems and Muzino Communications, which was submitted to the W3C. SOX is based on DTD, but adds data typing and reuse mechanisms.  regulations. The Casdex technology is the first to gear itself specifically towards the budgets of small and mid-sized businesses and solo law firms This list of the world's largest law firms by revenue is taken from The Lawyer and The American Lawyer and is ordered by 2006 revenue:[1]
  1. Clifford Chance, £1,030.2m – International law firm (headquartered in the UK);
  2. Linklaters, £935.
 while proving that affordability does not mean sacrificing quality and reliability.

"Small businesses and solo practitioners today have the same archiving needs and face the same federal regulations as larger firms," said Casdex Founder and Chief Technology Officer David Barley. "We found, however, that when it came to providing effective and secure data archiving solutions, the price tags of today's technologies automatically discounted these smaller firms. What we've done is provided a way for start-ups, solo practitioners and small firms to have immediate access to a highly-sophisticated data storage and archiving technology at an affordable price."

At only $99 per month, Casdex requires no manuals or expensive training, uses an easy drag-and-drop interface and needs only an Internet connection for immediate access from any location worldwide.

Casdex's double-layer protection system, which employs both encryption The reversible transformation of data from the original (the plaintext) to a difficult-to-interpret format (the ciphertext) as a mechanism for protecting its confidentiality, integrity and sometimes its authenticity. Encryption uses an encryption algorithm and one or more encryption keys.  and multiple remote points of storage, means that small businesses and firms can rest assured that their documents are safe against data theft and man-made or natural disaster. An algorithm-based technology encrypts documents, and these documents are then transmitted in pieces to various remote access locations, to be reassembled only when retrieved by their owner via password-protected authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message.

Retention times will also no longer pose a hassle for small businesses and firms, as the Casdex technology allows users to specify their own document retention times based on their customizable policies.

This all-important authentication feature is unique to Casdex, and it involves creating a fingerprint fingerprint, an impression of the underside of the end of a finger or thumb, used for identification because the arrangement of ridges in any fingerprint is thought to be unique and permanent with each person (no two persons having the same prints have ever been  of each archived document and recording the date and content of any changes made. The result is court-admissible, authenticated electronic copies of important legal and business documents that meet the evidence requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) are rules governing civil procedure in United States district (federal) courts, that is, court procedures for civil suits. The FRCP are promulgated by the United States Supreme Court pursuant to the Rules Enabling Act, and then approved .

"We want small businesses and solo firms to know that the best in data storage and archiving is no longer reserved only for large firms," said Barley. "Casdex makes big business solutions available for small business budgets."
