Many of us are familiar with a service called the Internet Archive (more commonly known as “The WayBack Machine”) which offers snapshots of previous versions of thousands of web sites, even small ones. It’s fun, and sometimes useful for information gathering, but hardly rises to the level of detail most of us would hope for in a litigation or compliance scenario.
What Hanzo does is take the idea of archiving web sites to a forensic level by comprehensively recording the content of a web site, including Flash and other non-html content, at frequent intervals. Once recorded, site archives are fully searchable and web content can be “replayed” exactly as it was published on a particular date, all in a manner that can be authenticated in court.
This fall I had the privilege of speaking with Mark Middleton, founder and CEO of Hanzo Archives, to satisfy my curiosity about what his product is capable of and who is using it.
Bruce: Mark, thank you for arranging to speak with me. I think I have a general understanding of what your archives do, but let me start off by asking you for some use cases that illustrate who needs your product and what they need it for.
