Security FAQs

Common questions about our security practices

We protect your documents using multiple layers of security. All documents are encrypted using 256-bit AES encryption while stored and TLS 1.3 encryption during transit. Access to documents is restricted through authentication mechanisms, and all document activities are logged in tamper-evident audit trails. Our infrastructure is hosted in SOC 2 Type II certified data centers with robust physical and network security controls.

Yes, electronic signatures created through GetDocumentSigned.com are legally binding in most countries around the world. Our platform complies with major electronic signature laws including the U.S. ESIGN Act, UETA, and the EU's eIDAS Regulation. Each signature is accompanied by a detailed audit trail that records the signing process, including signer verification, timestamps, and IP addresses, which strengthens the legal validity of the signatures.

We offer multiple methods to verify signer identities, depending on your security requirements. Basic verification includes email verification for all signers. Additional verification methods include SMS/text message verification codes, knowledge-based authentication (KBA) where signers must answer personal questions, and ID verification through government-issued ID scanning. Enterprise customers can also implement custom authentication workflows.

We have a comprehensive incident response plan in place. In the unlikely event of a security breach, our security team would immediately isolate affected systems, investigate the cause, remediate vulnerabilities, and assess impact. We would notify affected customers in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, providing transparent information about the breach and any actions customers should take. We would also work with law enforcement if necessary and implement additional safeguards to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Document storage duration depends on your plan. Basic plans include 30-day storage, Professional plans include 1-year storage, and Enterprise plans include unlimited storage. You can download your completed documents at any time during the storage period. We also offer custom retention policies for enterprise customers to align with their specific compliance requirements. When documents reach the end of their retention period, they are securely deleted using industry-standard data destruction methods.
