Document security, locked down

How does Signable keeps your documents safe? Well, compliance is key and you can be sure that your electronic documents are always secure with Signable.

How has Signable got you covered?

Our eSignatures are safe and secure, with SSL encryption on every page you visit on the Signable website. This means that no one can snoop on your password or the documents you send and sign using our services. You can also set up two-factor authentication on your account to log-in.

Every action from the point of uploading is logged in a full audit trail that’s attached to the corresponding envelope in your account. You’ll be able to see right down to the minute when the signee has opened the document.

Once a document has been signed and submitted by your client, you will receive an email that includes the completed electronic document attached as a PDF and a certificate of signature.

The certificate of signature is an important document that includes important information including:

  • Who each signing party is
  • Dates, times, IP addresses and fingerprints
  • A full audit log or audit trail

With Signable, the audit trail provided gives you an action by action breakdown of the electronic signing progress of the document, allowing you to see the status of it and what has happened in the past to the source document.

What is SSL encryption?

SSL encryption can be summed up as:

“SSL is the standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server and a browser. This link ensures that all data passed between the web server and browser remain private.”

What this means is you can be safe in the knowledge that the information you share on Signable is secure. As the Signable site is encrypted with SSL, your browser will form a connection with the webserver, look at the SSL certificate, and then bind together your browser and the server. This creates a secure connection that means the information you’ve submitted is safe.

Two Factor Authentication

Secure electronic signatures

We comply with regulations set out by the eIDAS to ensure your documents are legally binding in any court (check out our legal page here). Once everyone has signed the document, you’ll get a full copy of all signatures with a certificate showing you:

  • Each signing party
  • Dates, IP addresses, and fingerprints
  • A full audit log

Your documents are stored securely in your account for easy access. They’re only accessible to you (or anyone you give permission to view) and you can access them anytime.

To ensure Signable security is up to standard and all your documents are secure & legally binding we provide:

  • eIDAS compliance & exceedance of UK eSign regulation
  • Detailed audit log stored for each signature action
  • Identification of users verified before permitted to send documents
  • Document integrity checked, always
  • Unique  fingerprint IDs for each document
  • Secure storage of documents and data
  • Signatory identity verified via email address, timestamps and geo-tracking
  • SSL 256-bit AES/RSA encryption
  • Only you and people you’ve authorised can access documents

Encryption at rest

Signable uses encryption at rest to keep all your data safe, not just the files you’re actively using, but also archived data that isn’t accessed often. While firewalls and antivirus software protect stored data, encryption adds an extra layer of security by converting sensitive information into a form that unauthorized users can’t read. This ensures that only a few authorised people can access your data, providing peace of mind that it stays secure.

ISO 27001 certified

Signable is ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to keeping your data secure on our platform. This certification reflects our proactive approach to information security, ensuring that safeguarding your sensitive data is always our top priority.

AWS WAF

Signable also protects your documents by using AWS WAF.

AWS WAF (or Amazon Web Services Web Application Firewall)  is a web application firewall that protects applications and APIs against web attacks that may affect availability, compromise security, or consume excessive resources.

Brexit update:

The UK government intends to grant “adequacy” to all EEA countries for the purposes of personal data flows, so your information will be fully secure and legal post-Brexit.

Vulnerability scanning

Signable uses vulnerability scanning to help identify security weaknesses in our system. This means we are consistently alerted to any suspected vulnerabilities in our system and act on them, fixing any issues and keeping your data safe.
