Overview

Security is a top concern for any organization looking to bring customer transactions online - even more so when those transactions involve regulated processes, documents and signatures. Secure electronic signatures should not only protect the integrity of signed records, they should also:

• Identify parties to a transaction
• Provide control over e-transactions
• Comply with data security and privacy policies
• Produce reliable electronic evidence

The security of your electronic signature implementation is important as it can affect legal and compliance risk, as well as user experience. Indeed one of the biggest challenges when bringing transactions online is balancing risk concerns with usability in order to ensure adoption.

In this free 60-minute Webcast, a leading expert on electronic transactions breaks down in lay terms the security components of an e-signature and share best practices for ensuring your customer-facing electronic transactions are secure.  The presentation addresses the most common questions on the topic of security, including:

• How do I identify and authenticate unknown users over the Web?
• How can I prove who clicked-to-sign in a face-to-face transaction?
• What is a digital signature and why is it important?
• What is the best approach to distributing documents?
• How do e-signatures impact data security and information privacy requirements?
