When most people think about contracts, the final step of the process usually gets all the love — signing their name with a flourish.
At Recombo, digital signatures are one part of an entire process. We help our clients every step of the way. We model and automate their process, store and create an authentication framework that drives their contracts, provide a secure audit trail, and yes, get digital signatures too.
How our Secure Digital Signature Process Works
All contracts are maintained on Agreement Express servers in SAS70 bank-grade secure facilities. When contracts are published and ready for sign-off, people receive an email inviting them to click on a URL and review their contract on Agreement Express servers.
Next, people need to be authenticated using one of these following methods depending on the level of security needed for the contract:
- For low-sensitivity contracts or when signatories are well known, authentication can be set to a simple password.
- Moderately sensitive contracts use wallet-based authentication. Prior to logging into Agreement Express, the signatory is asked a series of questions, such as their driver’s license number, partial social security number or credit card number.
- For highly sensitive contracts, credit-based authentication is needed. The signatory must answer questions about their credit history, such as the bank where they do business, mortgage amounts, monthly payments and so on.
And for every contract, a full audit trail of activity is maintained to make sure agreements have not been fraudulently altered. It makes the experience of signing a contract that much sweeter.
