Granular permissions enable separation of duties between agents, approvers, and auditors. Verify that roles restrict send, view, and download actions to comply with internal controls and regulatory needs.

SAML or OIDC integration ensures centralized identity management and easier onboarding. Confirm compatibility with corporate IdP for consistent session policies and auditability.
Built-in reporting on signature events, document access, and user activity simplifies compliance audits and incident investigations. Ensure exportable logs and searchable metadata are available.
Configurable retention and deletion policies help enforce legal hold and record lifecycle requirements. Confirm retention durations and archival export capabilities for legal or regulatory requests.
Ability to embed legally valid signatures directly into support workflows, maintain certificates of completion, and attach signed documents to ticket histories for dispute resolution and compliance with ESIGN and UETA.
Granular role and permission settings that limit who can send, view, or manage documents attached to tickets, supporting separation of duties and minimizing unauthorized disclosure risks in support environments.
Consistent signing and review experience on mobile devices, enabling field engineers and remote users to complete approvals quickly without returning to desktop systems, improving SLA adherence.
Comprehensive, tamper-evident audit logs that record every action—views, signatures, and edits—timestamped and linked to support tickets for legal defensibility and troubleshooting.
