Case Study: Sprott Shaw College achieves litigation-ready record retention with PageFreezer

Sprott Shaw College - Customer Case Study

Sprott Shaw College, a leading Canadian post-secondary educator, faced strict record retention policies and growing litigation risks tied to online content on its website, blog and social channels. After finding that server backups and CMS revision controls were insufficient as admissible evidence, Sprott Shaw College selected PageFreezer’s website, blog and social media archiving solution to permanently capture and preserve its online communications.

PageFreezer implemented daily automated snapshots stored in the cloud with digital timestamps and signatures, retaining content in native, replayable formats and providing a browser-based SaaS portal plus export options (PDF, native, or self-service) for fast retrieval. The PageFreezer solution made Sprott Shaw College’s web records admissible and searchable, simplified compliance with record‑production timelines (e.g., the Canadian Evidence Act), and materially reduced litigation risk by ensuring archives meet and exceed the college’s stringent retention policies.
