WE DID IT!

At Secured Signing, we believe that security isn’t just a feature – it’s the foundation of everything we build. Today, we are proud to share a major milestone in our journey: Secured Signing has officially achieved SOC 2® Type 2 compliance. 

Following a rigorous audit by the experts at Sensiba LLP, this achievement serves as a formal validation of our unwavering commitment to protecting your most critical information assets. 

What is SOC 2® Type 2? 

For those unfamiliar with the terminology, SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls) is a gold-standard attestation within the tech industry. It proves that an organization has established robust systems and processes to safeguard data and protect user privacy. 

While a Type 1 audit looks at a “snapshot” of a company’s controls at a single point in time, a Type 2 audit is much more demanding. It involves an in-depth review by an independent third party to ensure that those security systems are not only well-designed but are operating effectively over an extended period. 

In short: It’s proof that we don’t just “talk the talk”—we live these security standards every single day. 

What This Means for Our Customers 

As an organization dedicated to putting security at the forefront of the digital transaction, we understand that our customers trust us with their most sensitive legal and professional assets. Attaining SOC 2® Type 2 compliance is our way of honoring that trust and ensuring the integrity of every document processed through our platform. 

  • Integrity of Digital Contracts: Whether you are signing a high-value commercial lease or a simple employment agreement, our compliance confirms that your contracts are handled within a strictly controlled and monitored environment. 
  • Protection of eSignature Metadata: Beyond the document itself, the digital audit trails and metadata associated with every eSignature are protected by verified internal controls, ensuring their admissibility and reliability. 
  • Security for Remote Online Notarizations (RON): Notarized documents often contain the most sensitive “life event” data. Our SOC 2® Type 2 status provides a verified layer of protection for the video recordings, identity verification data, and confidential records generated during the online notarization process. 
  • Confidentiality of Information Assets: We have successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of our security measures over an extended period, ensuring that your confidential business data remains private and shielded from unauthorized access. 

Looking Ahead 

While we are incredibly proud of this “certificate on the wall,” we view this achievement as a beginning, not a finish line. The digital landscape is constantly evolving, and so are we. We remain committed to investing in the latest security technologies and refining our processes to stay ahead of emerging threats. 

We want to extend a huge thank you to the team at Sensiba LLP for their partnership during this audit, and an even bigger thank you to you – our customers – for your continued trust and partnership.

Secured Signing Achieves SOC 2 Type 1 Certification: A New Benchmark for Your Data Security 

We’re thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to your data’s security and privacy: Secured Signing, your trusted platform for Digital Signatures, Video Signing, and Remote Online Notarization, has successfully achieved SOC 2 Type 1 certification! 

This accomplishment isn’t just a badge; it’s a testament to our unwavering dedication to providing you with the highest level of protection, compliance, and reliability for your valuable information. 

What is SOC Reporting and Why Does It Matter? 

Service Organization Control (SOC) reporting is a framework used to evaluate and report on the internal controls of service organizations. In short, it serves as an independent health check for a company’s data security practices.

Given this importance, these reports are vital for third parties like our customers who rely on our services. Importantly, unlike many other reporting standards, SOC certifications require a mandatory independent audit.

Specifically, an impartial auditor thoroughly examines our systems and processes before signing off on a report.

As a result, this rigorous validation provides an unbiased assurance of our security posture.

Understanding SOC 2 Type 1 Certification 

SOC 2 is an auditing standard developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Our SOC 2 Type 1 certification specifically covers 3 key “Trust Service Principles”: 

  • Security: Protecting your data against unauthorized access. 
  • Availability: Ensuring our systems are consistently operational and accessible. 
  • Confidentiality: Safeguarding sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure. 

This certification involved a rigorous examination of our controls and processes over a defined period, validating our unwavering commitment to maintaining a secure environment for your data. 

 

What Does This Mean for You, Our Valued Customer? 

As a Secured Signing customer, our SOC 2 Type 1 certification provides you with benefits that extend beyond our core digital automation solutions: 

  • Peace of Mind: You can be confident that your data is handled with the utmost care, meeting the highest industry standards for protection.

    No more guessing about whether your information is secure – we’ve got the certification to prove it. 
  • Streamlined Compliance: Our certification can simplify your own audit processes.

    By using the Secured Signing platform, you can be assured that your compliance requirements are upheld, making your internal audits smoother and more efficient. 
  • Increased Efficiency and Productivity: With the assurance of our secure infrastructure, you can focus on your core business functions, knowing that your data is safe and sound.

    This frees up your time and resources to concentrate on what matters most. 

At Secured Signing, we understand the critical importance of securing your data and the trust you place in us as your technology partner. Our certified compliance is a clear demonstration of our commitment to maintaining the highest levels of protection, confidentiality, and reliability. 

By choosing Secured Signing for your Digital Signature and Remote Online Notarization needs, you’re not just getting powerful automation; you’re choosing a partner with an unwavering commitment to the security of your data.
