DocuSign provides a comprehensive method for ensuring that all legal elements of proof are managed throughout the electronic document signing cycle, including:
- Audit Trail – DocuSign ensures the transaction is secure, and all signer actions are tracked in a way that is admissible in court, if required. An audit trail is attached to every DocuSign electronic envelope.
- Security – DocuSign encrypts all files to ensure only people designated by the sender can read and sign documents. DocuSign uses RSA AES encryption and SHA1 hashing algorithms.
- Unique Signatures – DocuSign users create unique electronic signatures that combine an ID number and a digital image stamp of their signature and initials. The user controls this e-signature, which is stored securely online.
- Signature Blocks – DocuSign allows signers to 'initial' and 'sign' specific areas in documents, as well as the whole file, which is critical for many documents.
- Authenticate Users – DocuSign leverages email and 3rd-party systems to provide auditable authentication of every signer.
- Time-Stamping – DocuSign timestamps and records all signing events, including document submission, forwarding, viewing and signing.
- Transaction Summary – DocuSign attaches a document history at the end of every transaction, showing exactly who signed what. Other recorded data include signing party ID, timestamps for each step, and authentication information.
