Security & Compliance

Built to hold up in court

These are legal documents. ToroDocs treats them that way — with real compliance, tamper-evident sealing, and a complete evidentiary record.

⚖️
Legally binding (ESIGN & UETA)

Signatures captured through ToroDocs are valid and enforceable under the U.S. ESIGN Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act — the same legal footing as ink on paper.

Explicit signer consent

Before signing, every recipient is shown an electronic-records disclosure and must actively agree — the consent step ESIGN requires, recorded with a versioned timestamp.

🔏
Tamper-evident SHA-256 sealing

When a document completes, the server stamps the values and signatures onto the PDF, flattens it, and computes a SHA-256 hash. Any later change to the file breaks the hash.

📜
Certificate of Completion

Each sealed document carries a certificate listing every signer, their email and IP address, and the exact timestamps for viewing, consenting, and signing.

🧾
Full audit trail

Every event — sent, opened, consented, reminded, signed, completed, sealed — is logged to an immutable timeline for a complete evidentiary record.

🔒
Encrypted private storage

Documents are stored on private object storage, never publicly accessible, and streamed only through authenticated, per-recipient links.

🔗
Secure signing links

Each recipient gets a unique, unguessable signing link. Links expire when you set a deadline and stop working once a document is voided or completed.

👤
Account security

Single active session per account prevents credential sharing, and every sensitive action is scoped to your team.

No. Signers receive a secure, unique link and can review and sign without creating an account.

On private, encrypted object storage. Files are never public and are served only through authenticated links.
