Publish Time: 2026-01-13
On March 26, an announcement released by the listed company Jimin Health drew widespread attention. The announcement stated that the company's vice president, He Qinghong, and his team members were suspected of forging the company's seals and signing non-compliant agreements with some dealers. Currently, the public security organs have initiated an investigation into this case. This incident once again thrust the issue of enterprise seal management security into the spotlight, while also exposing the significant potential risks associated with unfiled electronic seals.
What are the pitfalls of unfiled electronic seals?1.Zero barriers to forgery; a screenshot can be used for counterfeitingCommon unfiled electronic seals on the market can be generated simply by uploading scanned copies of enterprise licenses. Criminal gangs can forge business licenses using Photoshop and create "high-imitation" electronic seals in just 10 minutes, which are visually indistinguishable from genuine ones.2.Inability to conduct online verification at any timeEnterprises often only discover that their seals have been forged during the litigation stage. However, due to the lack of filing data with the Ministry of Public Security, they cannot quickly verify the authenticity of signed documents, resulting in difficulties in recovering losses.These loopholes enable lawbreakers to easily forge electronic seals to sign contracts and handle business transactions. Enterprises often only become aware of the problem after their rights and interests have been compromised, and the cost of defending their rights is extremely high.The Safe Choice for Electronic Seals
Core Advantages of Physical-Electronic Homologous SealsFull-process verifiability:All documents signed through the platform of physical-electronic homologous seals can be verified for authenticity through the National Electronic Seal Management and Service Platform of the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security.Public security filing:The physical-electronic homologous seals issued by the branch center (Shenzhen) of the National Electronic Seal Management and Service Platform are accompanied by filing certificates issued by the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security, endowing them with authority and credibility.Comprehensive enhancement of security applications:Physical-electronic homologous seals deeply integrate public security authority certification with advanced technologies to create a secure and trustworthy electronic seal system. Relying on the professional equipment and servers of the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security and based on the public security's population, legal person, and seal basic databases, they significantly elevate risk control levels. Meanwhile, by adopting national and public security cryptographic security technologies, they comprehensively strengthen platform security. Combined with the authority of public security filing, they ensure that electronic seals have the same legal effect as physical seals, providing all-round guarantees in terms of technology, security, and legal effect.Suggestions for Enterprise Seal Security ManagementThe Jimin Health incident has sounded an alarm for enterprises. It is recommended that enterprises take the following measures to strengthen seal management:1.Strengthen internal seal usage management processes within the enterprise and raise risk prevention awareness.2.Choose physical-electronic homologous seals that are filed with the public security authorities and are interoperable and mutually recognizable, issued by the electronic seal management and service platform of the Third Research Institute of the Ministry of Public Security.
In the digital economy era, enterprises should fully recognize that convenience should not come at the expense of security. With the advantages of public security filing and nationwide interoperability, physical-electronic homologous seals build a solid legal security line of defense while ensuring efficiency, making them a wise choice for enterprises during digital transformation. Only by choosing compliant, secure, and verifiable physical-electronic homologous seals can enterprises effectively prevent legal risks and protect their legitimate rights and interests.
