Our eSignatures adhere to the regulations you need to make sure your signatures are legally binding. When designing our eSignature platform, we aimed to make it easy to use, whilst making it compliant at the same time, so there’s no extra work needed on your part.
The safedrop eSignature platform can also be useful for non-repudiation, as we use IP address verification to confirm that the signature belongs to the signee. This is a great idea if you’re looking to admit digital signatures to court.
- Our signatures are classed as an SES (Simple Electronic Signature).
What is an eSignature?
eIDAS defines eSignaures as the following: “data in an electronic form which is attached to or logically associated with other data in an electronic form.”
There are three main types of eSignature, all with varying degrees of complexity.
Why are they a good idea?
eSignatures can help speed up agreement processes as everything can be completed digitally, in a way that is suitable for all parties involved.
Good signature solutions also give you extra proof of signature authenticity. So you can rely on their integrity.
Do I need any special software?
With a wet signature, you have no idea if it is faked, especially as people can scan and send documents. You can sign a PDF and it will technically be legal, however our eSignatures offer an extra layer of security by verifying the user when they sign their document, including verifying their IP address, so you have peace of mind.
