Security
Assess encryption, access control, and audit logging to confirm the platform enforces strong protections for documents and user credentials across all signing flows.
A trial lets teams verify legal validity, security settings, and integration behavior in controlled conditions so they can assess fit before purchase.
A legal counsel typically reviews the trial environment to confirm that signature evidence, timestamps, and authentication methods satisfy ESIGN and UETA requirements, and to verify retention, redaction, and document export capabilities for audit readiness.
An operations manager uses the trial to validate templates, routing rules, Bulk Send workflows, and integration triggers with CRMs to ensure day-to-day processes run smoothly at scale without manual intervention.
Legal, HR, sales, procurement, and IT teams commonly evaluate eSignature functionality during a trial to validate controls and workflows.
Running a sign trial helps both individual power users and centralized administrators confirm day-to-day operations and compliance requirements before wider rollout.
