We are officially an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) Provider!
As part of our ongoing commitment to providing top-tier eSigning solutions, we are thrilled to announce that Signable is now officially an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) Provider!
What is an Advanced Electronic Signature (AES)?
An Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) is a type of electronic signature which adds an extra layer of security to your documents. Through robust digital signing measures and identity verification techniques, AES shields your documents from tampering and fraud, keeping your sensitive information safe.
How do Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) work?
To meet AES requirements, we have implemented two key features:
-
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Signers: This feature requires recipients to verify their identity with a one-time code sent to their mobile device via SMS. This step ensures that the person signing the document is who they claim to be, securing your transactions and maintaining the authenticity of each signature.
-
Digital Signing: Digital Signing enhances the security of your documents by automatically applying an electronic seal to each one. This eSeal verifies that the document within is genuine and has not been altered - guarding against potential tampering and fraud.
Why is this important?
In highly regulated industries such as legal, government, and financial services (particularly those regulated by HMRC), Advanced Electronic Signatures are quickly becoming a standard requirement for compliance. With AES enabled through Signable, you can rest assured that your most critical documents are fully protected, enhancing trust in your brand.
How do I enable AES?
Activating AES is straightforward. Simply enable the Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for Signers feature when creating an envelope. Alongside our automatic Digital Signing capabilities, this simple adjustment in your document sending process ensures that all your documents sent through Signable meet AES standards.
We’re excited for you to experience the added protection and peace of mind that AES brings to your transactions with Signable!
Happy signing!
