Yes. The U.S. Federal ESIGN Act, enacted June 30, 2000, defines an electronic signatures as “electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.” Electronic signatures are legally binding in the U.S. and in many other countries. Our e-signature stores the exact time, location, and IP address of the completed signature.

We understand that schools handle sensitive staff and student information on a regular basis. We have designed our system in accordance with FERPA/HIPAA guidelines and have taken significant measures to protect and secure our users' data.

We never share or disclose any information publicly and all data are encrypted before being stored in our database. Data are transferred securely to and from our servers via industry-standard SSL encryption. Each message sent through our system is further protected with a personalized token that ensures each recipient is only able to view his or her specific document.

The cloud application platform and data center operations we use have been accredited under:

ISO 27001
SOC 1 and SOC 2/SSAE 16/ISAE 3402
PCI Level 1
FISMA Moderate
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)

Our datacenter providers offer both encryption-at-rest and Continuous Protection which keeps your data safe by archiving your new data every 60 seconds and performing 20 diagnostics health checks to your database every 30 seconds. If a diagnostic should fail, then our automated systems repair the database automatically.

Even in the most catastrophic failures imaginable, important business data stored in our databases is recoverable.

With encryption-at-rest, in the exceedingly unlikely event of a physical breach of their underlying infrastructure (i.e., if someone broke into the datacenter and removed the disk drives), your data would remain safe and secure.
