RIMAGE

Rimage, a global leader in on-demand digital publishing, helps track the data lifecycle and protects essential information from cyber security threats, including malware, ransomware and insider threats. It is an innovator in leveraging proven media like CD, DVD and Blu-ray ™ publishing to solve today’s data security problems. Rimage develops and manufactures digital data distribution and archiving systems for a multitude of state and federal law enforcement organizations and local police departments.

In evidence management, evidence needs to be validated and used in court without objection. For this need, Rimage provides ‘Defense in Layers,’ starting with its WORM technology, in which data can only be written once and cannot be modified. Combined with ‘chain of custody’ technology, this allows for complete transparency regarding the source of information, the parties involved in transferring information and who has control over the information at any given time. Even when the information is no longer needed, chain of custody continues to validate evidence by disclosing information on its location and method of disposal.

Rimage’s proprietary APIs digest a client’s data in any format. It is then converted to the client’s preferred media type and indexed for easy access. Through this workflow, clients can view the data, but the information cannot be modified.
“We’re helping people think outside the box with the technology we provide, the technology they already have in their company and the solutions we can customize for better evidence management,” says Christopher Rence, President and CEO of Rimage.

One example of how Rimage’s technology works: A government agency had collected sensitive data from different media types that was meant to protect vulnerable people. The information had to be presented in court and needed to be tracked to avoid being challenged. Rimage helped this client by validating their data, tracking the data lifecycle and making the data immutable. The evidence pieces did not need to be validated one by one and could be validated using the lifecycle management process.

Rimage understands and provides solutions to its clients from a technology, software and proof-of-concept standpoint. It is currently working with an agency on a new media type to meet their unique needs, with a 90-day sprint to deliver a customized solution.

With its 40 year history and global presence, Rimage has helped numerous clients in different verticals, such as finance, medicine, retail and law enforcement. The organization integrates its evidence management systems with its clients’ existing processes without changing them by leveraging its platform offerings of ‘Defense in Layers’ and ‘chain of custody.’ Rimage’s experienced and dedicated team is its cornerstone and strength.
