The All-in-One Digital Signature and Audio-Visual Call Platform Gaining Rapid Adoption Posted on March 3, 2022 - 12:00 am by John Webster Since the initial outbreak of COVID-19, Secured Signing has seen increased adoption of their video signing and remote online notarization platform. With organizations moving toward a hybrid work model, this trend will likely continue. The all-in-one video signing solution allows you to conduct online video signing sessions with customers and clients, in-person but remotely, and from the safety of your own home office. When getting serious documents signed digitally, it is legally important that you can identify who is signing, prove their intent and ensure document integrity. Secured Signing solves all three areas with video signing. In a live, real-time video and audio call between parties, identities can be verified through various authentication methods, documents can be explained to ensure non-repudiation, and documents can then be digitally signed and sealed using PKI encryption which ensures any future changes to the document will invalidate signatures. Since Secured Signing’s Video Signing solution release in 2020, many features and improvements have been added to Secured Signing’s video signing capabilities including signer authentication through identity proofing (adynamic Knowledge-Based Authentication) and credential analysis (ID Verification with Biometric check), automated meeting reminders and follow-ups, simpler rescheduling, and more. “Video signing is an essential tool for getting serious documents signed for remote working environments,” says Gal Thompson, CEO at Secured Signing. “Video signing is a fully integrated product that is a part of the Secured Signing platform, which means customers and clients do not need to install any third-party software. From the moment a customer or client is engaged, they stay within the Secured Signing ecosystem, making it simple and easy to use for all parties involved.” “The fact that you can get a document signed, in real-time, across a video call, with anyone in the world is exciting. It takes document signing to the next level.” Secured Signing also offers a Remote Online Notarization platform, with video signing being a key tool for notaries across the United States. With over 38 states having now approved remote online notarization as a legitimate way to get documents notarized online, Mike Eyal, CTO at Secured Signing, said releasing the remote online notarization product was logical. “With the direction of where we saw technology progressing in 2020, the pandemic, and new hybrid-work models being introduced, it made sense to invest our developmental resources into building a notary product off the back of our existing Video Signing technology.” Secured Signing is approved in 20 states as a remote online notarization technology provider. Allows many notaries to use Secured Signing Remote Online Notarization with Video Signing technology.

New features and product enhancements – September 2021 Posted on September 20, 2021 - 5:36 am by John Webster It has been an exciting year for Secured Signing with many innovations and new features added to your favorite signing platform. As a serious signing platform, we continue to build and improve our software to keep your documents secure. Take a look at some of our newest features and product enhancements. ID Verification One of our newest and innovative authentication features is ID Verification. Captures the front & back of client IDs using a mobile device. Performs 50+ forensic tests on IDs in real time for authentication. Engages facial recognition match & liveness test with a quick selfie. Accurate data matching between provided ID and documents used to verify key identifiers. E.g., Client first and last name matching. Visually checks IDs during video sessions and compares ID data captured with real-time audio-visual technology (video signing only). You can set up ID Verification Settings at the account level under My Account > My Settings. You can also adjust the ID Verification Settings on the fly within the invitation workflow at an invitee level. Video Signing & Remote Online Notarization Since launching Video Signing and Remote Online Notarization in 2020 we have added many improvements, including: Rescheduling video signing sessions There were times when users needed to reschedule signing sessions when invitees were no-shows, or a meeting clashed. Users can now manage scheduled video signing sessions from the In-Progress tab. All participants will receive a new email invitation to join the newly scheduled meeting. Added a meeting room To improve the video signing host’s experience, you can now enter a meeting room before the video signing session starts. Here you can see if signers have completed authentication processes and are ready to join. ID Verification Check In the case that a signer completes ID Verification as part of their document access authentication, users can now use the ID Verification check button. During the video signing session users can compare the captured ID Verification information with the signer, live, and in real time. We Sign WeSign is a foundational pillar to our software and without it, signing would not be able to take place. We have released the following product enhancements to improve user experience. Assign Form Fields to any Invitee We have always had form fields within the signing process, and we now let users assign form fields to specific invitees during document tagging using the form field settings box. Authentication Types and Settings We had users asking for flexibility in choosing authentication types for their invitees and signers. We have now added Invitee Authentication Type settings so you can set document access authentication at an account level under My Account > My Settings. You can also set the authentication type during the “Invitation Workflow” stage of the WeSign process. Save as a Draft We had users who were Tagging lengthy WeSign documents, only to lose all their progress when they had to leave. There is nothing worse than having to repeat something that you know you have already done. Now you can now save a WeSign process as a draft and come back to it later. Replace a Document to Existing process We had users who You can now replace a document while you are in the WeSign process. Add a Document to Existing process You can now add documents while you are in the WeSign process. Witness Nominated by the Sender Users can now nominate the witness for a signature during document tagging. Witness details are then assigned in the invitation workflow: Use Templates Folder when Adding Documents We have always allowed signing of documents that you upload from your own storage, that are in your Inbox, or are in your signed folder. Now we have added “Select from Template Folder” which lets you use any templates that you have built. Multiple Witness Signatures – Smart Tags At times when a customer using our Smart Tags, a witness signature is required in several positions throughout a document. Now you can add multiple signature fields to a document for the same witness. Just duplicate the witness smart tag at the position witness needs to sign: [!Sign.1.F.Witness,FirstName,LastName,email] Multiple Witness Signatures for the same invitee – Smart Tags We encountered scenarios where users using Smart Tags needed more than one witness for an invitee. You can now identify them by number. [!Sign.1.F.Witness,FirstName,LastName,email] – A [!Sign.1.F.Witness1,FirstName,LastName,email] – B [!Sign.1.F.Witness2,FirstName,LastName,email] – C Secured Signing Credits We have now begun to streamline our billing and payments process by introducing Secured Signing credits.

Secured Signing provides industry-leading ID Verification of foreign and US passports for Remote Online Notarizations Posted on August 10, 2021 - 12:00 am by John Webster Secured Signing’s industry-leading ID verification supports over 4,000 overseas and domestic IDs, from nearly 200 countries, making it the only RON platform that supports foreign passports in the market.ID Verification provides fast, secure & user-friendly workflow for you and your clients allowing you to verify signer identity. ID Verification offers a robust and flexible solution when compared to a standard email link and SMS for multi-factor authentication. “Since the outbreak of COVID and as we began entering new markets, like the US Notary Market for Remote Online Notarization, we saw an opportunity to add ID Verification to our authentication tool set,” says Mike Eyal, Founder and CEO at Secured Signing. “In a world where in-person signings are less likely to take place while social distancing practices are implemented, we wanted to give our users everything they needed to ensure that their clients and customers who are signing, are in fact who they said they are.” ID Verification’s two-step process is simple and easy to use, with clients capturing an image of the front and back of their ID. The images are then scanned and analyzed against a database of over 4,000 IDs from nearly 200 countries and uses industry-standard markers such as the magnetic stripe, OCR content, UV holograms and barcodes on an ID to verify its legitimacy. Clients will then take a selfie to score for liveness of the signer, utilizing the facial matching aspect of the software. Liveness ensures that you know the person who underwent ID Verification was in fact a live person. “This aspect [liveness score] of ID Verification is revolutionary as it prevents presentation attacks from fraudulent practices such as printed images, masks, recorded or synthetic video,” says Roger Castile, Senior Vice President of National Sales at Secured Signing Inc. “If a Liveness score falls below a certain threshold, the signer will be denied access to the documents and will be unable to sign.” Secured Signing enhances the ID Verification process by creating a strong link between the ID and the document through data matching. Data matching allows you to pull from the data analyzed during the ID capture phase of the ID verification process and compare it to data provided by your client. This is fully configurable letting you choose the parameters to be matched to your client’s ID. The system notifies you of the results and lets you decide on how you would like to proceed if the client passes or fails. Secured Signing customers are using ID Verification within legal, title and closing, and notary public industries. About Secured SigningSecured Signing provides a one stop digital signature service that delivers a full range of form completion and eSigning capabilities. Using advanced personalized X509 PKI Digital Signature technology, it is more secure than a plain electronic signature. Secured Signing’s Digital Signature and RON platform all in one enables its users to use any device to capture their graphical signature, fill-in, sign, seal and verify documents anywhere, anytime.
Secured Signing: Secure Video Technology for Remote Witnessing Posted on August 18, 2020 - 8:41 pm by John Webster Secured Signing continues to innovate by providing Video Signing as part of the online signing to assist businesses during the pandemic.Secured Signing’s Video Signing is a live, real-time video call between two (or more) parties, where identities can be verified, documents can be explained to ensure non-repudiation and documents can then be securely digitally signed using PKI encryption to ensure any future changes to the document will invalidate signatures.Mike Eyal, CEO, Secured Signing says:” At Secured Signing we’re serious about your signature so we ensure we can verify who signed every document with video signing – recording the person who signed.

A unique link and password for the video & audio recording are contained in the signed document. The tamper proof mechanism of the digital signature ensures the video recording details cannot be altered without invalidating the signature.Video Signing provides the highest confidence in the identity of the signer.Gal Thompson, General Manager, Secured Signing says “Our platform is fast and easy to use and has advanced features designed to safeguard businesses, documents and signatures.”“Every digital signing solution says its legally binding….. but…. are they really? Without the advanced Digital Signature, for signer’s Identity, signing intent and document’s data integrity and signatures’ time stamping features offered by Secured Signing you may find the serious business document you got signed, isn’t valid and legally binding at all. Is it worth the risk?”Industries that are using Secured Signing:Legal Firms and In-house Legal teams in Australia and NZIn New Zealand Secured Signing has partnered with Auckland District Law Society and embedded their Webforms Platform that is used nationwide.In Australia, Secured Signing can be used to sign wills and enduring power of attorney at the moment due to COVID-19.HR and Recruitment has been one of Secured Signing’s leading industries due to the high volume of paperwork and fast pace required when recruiting staff.Mike says: “We integrate the leading CRM or systems used by recruitment firms across the world such as Bullhorn and JobAdder.
