Go beyond a simple signature. Secure your agreements with our ESIGN, UETA, HIPAA, and GDPR compliant platform, backed by court-admissible audit trails that eliminate risk and ensure enforceability.
In today's digital world, an unenforceable agreement or a failed audit can be catastrophic. The lingering fear—'Is this signature truly legally binding?'—costs businesses time, money, and peace of mind.
eSignly was built to eliminate that uncertainty. Since 2014, we have provided a fortress of compliance for over 100,000 users, from startups to global enterprises like Nokia and UPS. Our platform combines the simplicity of a one-click signature with the rigor of bank-grade security and an unwavering commitment to legal standards. We don't just help you get documents signed; we provide the certainty that they are secure, compliant, and legally defensible in any jurisdiction.
We differentiate eSignly by breaking down our value proposition into tangible, benefit-oriented points focused on security, legality, and auditability. Here is why industry leaders trust us with their most sensitive agreements.
Every action is captured in a detailed, time-stamped log, from document creation to the final signature. This creates a comprehensive, non-repudiable record that serves as powerful evidence, designed to be admissible in court.
Our signatures are designed to comply with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), as well as international standards like GDPR, giving your agreements legal validity across the globe.
We go beyond baseline laws with specific compliance for regulated industries. We are compliant with HIPAA to protect patient information and 21 CFR Part 11 for life sciences, ensuring you meet your sector's stringent requirements.
Your data is protected with AES-256 bit encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit. Our SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications mean our security controls are continuously audited and verified by third parties.
Once a document is signed, we apply a tamper-evident seal. Any subsequent changes, no matter how small, will invalidate the seal, ensuring the integrity of your agreement from the moment of signing.
Confirm the identity of your signers with multiple levels of authentication, from email verification to more advanced methods like SMS passcodes or knowledge-based authentication, strengthening the legal weight of your documents.
Control where your data is stored. For businesses with specific data sovereignty requirements (e.g., under GDPR), we offer options to store your sensitive documents in regional data centers in the USA or EMEA.
Integrate compliance directly into your applications with our secure REST API. We provide robust authentication, sandboxed environments, and detailed documentation so your developers can build with confidence.
Our expertise is your resource. From implementation to navigating complex regulatory questions, our team is available to help you configure your workflows for maximum compliance and peace of mind.
We go beyond baseline laws with tailored workflows for regulated industries. Whether you are in healthcare, finance, or global manufacturing, our platform ensures you meet your sector's stringent security and regulatory requirements.
"eSignly was more than a software provider; they were a compliance partner. Their team understood the nuances of HIPAA inside and out."
"The eSignly audit trail held up to the highest level of scrutiny. Their API was clean, reliable, and allowed us to build a compliant workflow directly into our platform."
"Knowing that our contracts are compliant in both Texas and Berlin, and that we can prove it with a detailed audit trail, has been a game-changer."
We don't just capture a signature; we capture the context. Our audit trail is a cryptographically secured, time-stamped ledger that provides indisputable evidence of every action taken on your document.
Every document is processed with SHA-256 hashing to create a unique digital fingerprint. This ensures the document's integrity from creation to completion.
Data at rest is secured with AES-256 encryption, while data in transit is protected via TLS 1.3. Your documents are inaccessible to unauthorized parties.
We confirm the identity of your signers using diverse methods including email verification, SMS passcodes, and PKI-based digital certificates for advanced assurance.
Every event—from opening to signing—is recorded with a timestamp, IP address, and device ID in an immutable log that cannot be altered or deleted.
Once signed, we cryptographically seal the document. Any subsequent changes to the document content will automatically invalidate the seal, proving unauthorized modification.
Our architecture is built to comply with the ESIGN Act, UETA, GDPR, and industry-specific regulations like HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11, ensuring your signatures are legally defensible.
We go beyond a simple signature. We provide a full suite of services designed to ensure your organization meets the highest standards of security, legality, and auditability in every document transaction.
Unsure where you stand? Our experts work with you to analyze your current workflows, identify compliance gaps, and develop a strategic roadmap for implementing a secure, legally-binding digital signature process tailored to your industry and risk profile.
We configure and deploy eSignly to meet the specific legal standards you require, whether it's ESIGN/UETA in the US, GDPR in Europe, or other regional laws. This service ensures your setup is optimized for enforceability from day one.
We go beyond a simple signature image. This service focuses on configuring your account to capture every piece of essential data—IP addresses, timestamps, user actions—into a single, easy-to-read, court-admissible Certificate of Completion for every document.
For healthcare organizations, we implement eSignly within a HIPAA-compliant framework. This includes signing a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) and configuring workflows to ensure the security and privacy of Protected Health Information (PHI).
For life sciences and pharmaceutical companies, we enable our 21 CFR Part 11 module. This provides features required by the FDA, including specific signature manifestations, strict access controls, and validation documentation.
Navigating European privacy law is complex. We provide a signed DPA and tools to help you manage data subject rights. This service helps configure your account for GDPR, including data residency options and consent management.
Embed our compliance engine directly into your own software. Our team assists your developers in using our REST API to build seamless, secure, and compliant signing experiences for your users, without them ever leaving your platform.
The legal strength of a signature depends on knowing who signed. We help you implement the right level of authentication for your risk level, from simple email links to multi-factor methods like SMS codes or even ID verification for high-value transactions.
This service ensures your document integrity is non-negotiable. We help you implement workflows where every signed document is cryptographically sealed. We'll show you how to manage versions and prove that a signed document hasn't been altered.
While a standard feature, this service involves consulting on your overall data security posture. We explain our encryption standards (AES-256, TLS 1.3) and how they protect your data at every stage, helping you document this for your own security audits.
Different documents have different lifespans. We help you set up automated retention and archival policies within eSignly to ensure you're storing documents for as long as legally required, and securely disposing of them when they're not.
For organizations with the strictest data governance policies, such as government agencies or certain financial institutions, we offer an on-premise deployment option. This places the eSignly platform within your own infrastructure, giving you ultimate control.
When you need to send a single document, like a policy update or a disclosure form, to thousands of recipients for their signature or acknowledgment, this service ensures it's done efficiently and with a full audit trail for each individual recipient.
For the highest-value transactions, we can integrate advanced identity verification. This service involves matching a signer's government-issued ID against their self-portrait, providing an unparalleled level of identity assurance for your agreements.
A tool is only as good as the team using it. We provide tailored training sessions for your users, administrators, and legal teams to ensure they understand how to use eSignly in a compliant manner, maximizing adoption and minimizing risk.
Clear, definitive answers to help you navigate compliance, legality, and the security of your digital agreements.
While many services meet basic requirements, we specialize in verifiable, audit-proof compliance for high-stakes industries. We provide specific certifications like HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11, backed by immutable audit trails that are designed to be indefensible in court. We don't just check a box; we build your defense.
We believe foundational compliance is a right, not a luxury. That's why our core legal and security framework is built into all plans, including our free and professional tiers. You get enterprise-grade legal protection from day one, at a price that scales with your growth, so you never have to choose between your budget and your business's security.
That's a common and prudent concern. Federal laws like the ESIGN Act and UETA give electronic signatures the same legal weight as handwritten ones, provided certain standards are met. eSignly is built to exceed these standards, capturing comprehensive intent and evidence in an audit trail that is often more defensible than a wet signature, which can be easily forged or disputed.
Your data security is our highest priority. We use bank-grade AES-256 encryption for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit. Our infrastructure is fortified by our ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II certifications, which involve rigorous, ongoing audits of our security controls. Your documents are safer with us than on a local server or in a filing cabinet.
We offer specific modules tailored to highly regulated fields. HIPAA compliance is integrated into our healthcare plans with Business Associate Agreement (BAA) support, and our 21 CFR Part 11 module provides the exact validation controls and electronic signature manifestations required by the FDA for life sciences.
Your audit trail is your legal armor. It captures the who, what, when, and where of every signing event, creating an immutable record of intent. If a signature is ever challenged, you possess a forensic map of the entire transaction, providing the evidence necessary to establish non-repudiation in a court of law.
Yes. We support GDPR compliance through robust data residency options. You can elect to host your data within our EU-based infrastructure, ensuring you meet sovereignty requirements while leveraging our full suite of signing tools. We also provide the necessary tools to manage data subject rights effectively.
Absolutely. For organizations with extreme security mandates—such as government agencies, defense contractors, or financial institutions—we offer on-premise deployment. This puts our technology directly inside your infrastructure, giving you 100% control over your data governance and connectivity.
Our API is built on the principle of "Compliance by Design." When you build with our REST API, you inherit our entire security and compliance framework. You get the same bank-grade encryption and immutable audit trails as our web users, ensuring your application remains compliant as it scales, without adding development overhead.
You own your data. You can export your documents and audit trails at any time via our platform or API. If you discontinue your service, we provide an off-boarding process to ensure your data is transferred or purged according to your internal retention policy, keeping you in full control of your legal records.
Understanding the difference between simple signature tools and a compliance-focused platform is critical for mitigating legal and operational risk.
