Secure e-signatures

Sign with confidence, even when the stakes are high.

A+ Paperless pairs AES-256 encryption, digital signing certificates, immutable audit logs, and multi-factor authentication so sensitive agreements stay defensible from upload to final seal. Why gamble with a signature flow that can’t prove itself?

Five layers of protection

Document protection that holds up under scrutiny.

Every step is built to reduce risk. Can your current workflow say the same when a regulator, client, or counsel asks for proof?

Encryption, access control, and tamper evidence in one flow

A+ Paperless keeps documents protected in transit and at rest, then locks each signer into the right view permissions. If anything changes, the trail shows it. Fast.

Encryption

Protected with AES-256 across the workflow.

Audit logs

Immutable events record every action.

Tamper alerts

Redaction warnings flag suspicious edits.

Permissions

Set viewing rights per signer or reviewer.

Controlled signing

No loose ends. Only the right people get the right prompts, at the right time.

Verified signatures

Signature certificates help establish who signed, when, and from where.

Forensic traceability

Detailed records make internal reviews and external audits simpler.

Compliance-ready handling

Built for UETA, ESIGN, and data privacy expectations.

Audit trail preview

Every signature tells a story.

When someone asks, “Who signed this, and how do you know?” the answer should be immediate. That’s the point of a complete audit trail.

What the certificate includes

  • IP address and device data for signer verification and internal review.
  • Email, timestamps, and actions so every step is easy to trace.
  • Completion status that clarifies who viewed, signed, and finalised the file.
  • Integrity markers that help expose tampering attempts before they spread.

Need proof fast? The audit record is ready when your legal team is.

Compliance and trust

Built to meet stringent standards.

If your documents are regulated, the platform should behave like it. That means clear controls, secure hosting, and evidence you can point to without hesitation.

ESIGN

Electronic signature support aligned to accepted U.S. legal standards.

UETA

Structured signing records that help preserve enforceability.

SOC 2 Type II

Operational controls designed for disciplined handling and oversight.

US data centres

Hosting and storage practices built around domestic security expectations.

Signer identity control

Control who signs and who sees what.

Identity checks matter. If a signing event can’t prove the person behind it, what exactly have you secured?

Stronger identity verification, less back-and-forth

Pick the controls that match the deal: MFA, SMS OTP, access codes, or a layered combination. Each one strengthens signer intent and reduces the chance of an unauthorized click.

SMS OTP
A one-time code confirms the signer owns the device in front of them.
Access codes
Keep sensitive contracts limited to invited recipients only.
Multi-factor authentication
Add another proof step for PII, financial, or legal documents.
Method toggle
Switch based on risk level.
SMS OTP Access code Authenticator app Knowledge check

The goal is simple: the right signer, the right permissions, the right document. Anything else creates doubt.

Customer confidence

A compliance team can feel the difference.

Security isn’t abstract when your auditors are asking direct questions. It should feel clear, measurable, and ready for the room.

“Our compliance team was impressed. The audit trail was clean, the verification steps were easy to explain, and we passed review without the usual scramble.”
