Online security and privacy

Which security and confidentiality options do I have when submitting documents and agreements using SignIt?

 

You can choose between 3 levels:

 

Email + social security number:

Complete protection (strongly recommended).

The most secure option where the recipient must validate their identity using their social security number to open the link and review and sign the document.

The document is locked to the signatory's social security number and can only be opened, read and signed by that specific individual. It also allows you to validate the identity of your signer better and more accurately.

It provides you with increased security if you, for instance, enter an incorrect email address since the document can only be opened and read by the person with the correct social security number.


Email + SMS:

Partial protection (recommended).

A legally approved solution where the signatory will receive a code via SMS to be able to open the link and read the document.

A lower level of security as the document does not use validation via social security number.

The document is not locked to a social security number and can technically be signed by anyone with access to the SMS and a digital ID or passport. You must check whether the right person has signed before the document is legally valid.

 

Email:

No protection.

The least secure option.

Anyone with a digital ID or passport and access to the link can sign the document.
