Security & Compliance

SOC 2 Certified with Identity Verification

Zignature is SOC 2 Type II certified, meaning an independent auditor has verified our security, availability, and confidentiality controls. For high-value financial transactions, built-in identity verification (government ID + liveness check) provides Know Your Customer (KYC) documentation alongside the signature.

  • SOC 2 Type II — annual third-party security certification.
  • Government ID verification — for account opening and high-value transactions.
  • Complete FINRA-aware audit trail — for regulatory examination readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know.

Are e-signatures legally valid for financial agreements?

Yes. Under the ESIGN Act and UETA, electronic signatures are legally binding for the vast majority of financial documents including account opening agreements, investment advisory contracts, loan documents, and insurance applications. Documents that still require wet signatures (certain negotiable instruments, wills) are statutory exceptions.

Is Zignature compliant with FINRA recordkeeping requirements?

Zignature's audit trail — including signer identity, IP, timestamp, and document hash — satisfies FINRA Rule 4511 and SEC Rule 17a-4 recordkeeping requirements. The platform supports WORM-compliant storage options for broker-dealer record retention on enterprise plans.

Does Zignature support identity verification for KYC?

Yes. Zignature integrates with Stripe Identity for government ID verification and liveness detection. This creates a documented KYC record alongside the signature — useful for anti-money laundering (AML) compliance and high-value account opening.

Can wealth management advisors send documents from within their CRM?

Yes. Zignature's Chrome Extension lets advisors send documents directly from inside Salesforce FSC, HubSpot, Redtail, and Wealthbox. Client data auto-populates from the CRM record. Signed status writes back automatically when the client completes their signature.

How does Zignature handle SEC Rule 17a-3 and 17a-4 recordkeeping?

Zignature stores all signed documents with non-alterable audit trails. Enterprise plans support integration with SEC 17a-4 WORM-compliant storage providers (Iron Mountain, Smarsh, etc.) for broker-dealer compliance. The audit trail satisfies electronic recordkeeping requirements for examination purposes.

Is there a waiting period before countersigning financial documents?

Yes. Zignature supports configurable time delays between signing parties. For example, you can require a 3-business-day waiting period before your advisor countersigns a client investment agreement — useful for suitability documentation and regulatory compliance.

Can Zignature be used for mortgage closing documents?

Yes. Zignature supports mortgage closing document packages including the Closing Disclosure (CD), Promissory Note, Deed of Trust, and TILA disclosures. Integration with closing software like Qualia and RamQuest is available via API.

How does Zignature protect against signature fraud?

Zignature uses email authentication (unique signing links), optional SMS OTP, and government ID verification as authentication layers. The cryptographic document hash ensures any post-signing modification is detectable. Comprehensive IP and geolocation logging creates a fraud-detection evidence trail.
