Go paperless: what are the legal issues?
The dematerialization of documents is a current phenomenon affecting companies and administrations as well as private individuals. All types of documents are potentially targeted: contracts, invoices, quotations, pay slips, car registration documentation, etc.
In France, dematerialization has recently been taken into account by the legislator, whose ambition, through various successive reforms, is to go paperless (“zero paper”). However, applicable law remains extremely technical and, in some respects, unclear.
As a result, new questions are likely to be raised, at the forefront of which are two major legal issues:
- What is the evidentiary value of a scanned document?
- How to ensure that a scanned document remains intact, traceable and properly stored?
Electronic signature and archiving: what's the point?
E-signature and electronic archiving are central elements in the resolution of the two above-mentioned problems: electronic signature ensures, depending on its qualification, a more or less probative value for a digital document, whereas electronic archiving is supposed to secure the conservation of a scanned document.
That being said, these two tools, namely e-signature and e-archiving, remain subject to the application of a plurality of highly technical, sometimes obscure regulations and standards which require great vigilance in the way they are implemented: the combination of different texts (Law n°2000-230 of 13 March 2000, E-IDAS Regulation, RGPD, decree n°2016-1673 etc.) and applicable standards (NF Z 042-13, NF Z 042-26, ISO 27001 etc.) is not easy and is a source of legal uncertainty.
In addition, there are different types of electronic signatures that may have legal value and varying levels of security; likewise, obligations pertaining to archiving change according to the nature of each scanned document: for example, an invoice will have a different retention period and retention constraints than a payslip or an accounting document.
