Security Best Practices

Recommendations to maximize your security

  1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication

    Add an extra layer of security to your account by enabling two-factor authentication in your account settings.

    Create a password that is at least 12 characters long with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using the same password across multiple services.

  3. Verify Signer Identities

    Use multiple authentication methods (email, SMS, security questions) to verify the identity of your document signers, especially for high-value or sensitive documents.

  4. Regularly Review Account Activity

    Periodically check your account's activity logs to ensure there are no unauthorized actions or suspicious behaviors.

  5. Set Appropriate User Permissions

    If you have a team account, assign appropriate permissions to each user based on their role and need-to-know basis.

  6. Keep Your Devices Secure

    Maintain up-to-date antivirus software and operating systems on all devices used to access the DocuAuthorize.com platform.

  7. Log Out When Finished

Frequently Asked Security Questions

Answers to common security concerns

Electronic signatures are often more secure than traditional handwritten signatures. Our platform creates a comprehensive audit trail that tracks every action taken on a document, including who signed it, when they signed it, and from what IP address. This provides much stronger evidence than a simple handwritten signature, which can be forged. Additionally, our tamper-evident seal ensures that any modifications to the document after signing will be immediately detected.

Your documents are stored in secure, SOC 2 Type II certified data centers with redundant infrastructure across multiple geographic regions to ensure high availability. All documents are encrypted at rest using 256-bit AES encryption and protected in transit with TLS 1.2+ encryption. Access to our storage systems is strictly controlled and monitored, with multiple layers of security controls in place.

DocuAuthorize.com employs strict access controls that limit employee access to customer data. Only authorized personnel who require access to perform specific job functions can access customer data, and all access is logged and monitored. We follow the principle of least privilege, ensuring employees only have access to the minimum information necessary to perform their tasks. Additionally, we require background checks for all employees and provide regular security training.

We have a comprehensive incident response plan in place. In the unlikely event of a security breach, we will: (1) Promptly investigate the incident to determine its scope, (2) Take immediate steps to contain and mitigate the impact, (3) Notify affected customers as required by applicable laws and regulations, (4) Work with law enforcement if necessary, and (5) Take corrective actions to prevent similar incidents in the future. We regularly test and update our incident response plan to ensure we're prepared for emerging threats.

Our legal and compliance team continuously monitors changes to relevant laws and regulations worldwide. We regularly update our platform, processes, and documentation to ensure ongoing compliance. We also work with independent auditors to verify our compliance status and identify areas for improvement. This proactive approach ensures that our customers can confidently use our platform to create legally binding documents that comply with the latest regulations.
