Don’t Be Lured by the Trap of Certain E-Signature Vendors

If you’re using e-signatures and digital documents for your business or organization, chances are you may need:

• A HIPPA compliant e-signature.
• A 21 CFR Part 11 compliant e-signature.
• A 34 CFR 99.30 compliant e-signature.
• An IRS compliant e-signature.
• An SEC/FINRA compliant e-signature.

The list goes on.

Unfortunately, many electronic signature vendors, including some of the most well-known, say they’re compliant, but their technology doesn’t back it up. We’ve seen it time and time again from our clients. They’ve tried a leading e-signature brand and, after purchasing the solution, they realized the technology did not meet the industry standards they needed. So, after wasting time and money—and increasing their company’s risk—they turned to us. 

Much of the headache can be avoided by understanding the differences between a digital signature and an electronic signature, and making sure your e-signature partner and its technology are trustworthy. 

Because jobs, reputation and regulatory fines could be on the line, our EVP Pem Guerry outlined 4 different ways to recognize and avoid this costly e-signature trap in an article for national technology news site CMSWire.

“The key is to build a relationship with an e-signature company that has the technology, expertise and support to keep your business compliant and your signatures valid forever,” Pem said in the article.
