One of the greatest strengths of e-signatures is the security and transparency they provide.

Signing documents electronically, you can be sure that the other party will validate their signature, even with simple methods such as two-factor authentication with their email address or phone number—making it pretty secure.

To further enhance the security you can check the identity of the person signing the document, verifying their ID documentation, use more advanced e-signatures, such as a Qualified Electronic Signature that uses advanced encryption technology, Public Key Infrastructure, and more to keep your signatures safe.

But besides just being extremely secure no matter the e-signature type, electronic signatures also offer full transparency over the whole process.

Thanks to something called an electronic signature audit trail you can always check the authenticity of the placed signatures, verify the exact date and time of the placed signatures, check the IP addresses of the devices used for signing, and be sure that the document remains tamper-free after signing.
