Free · No credit card · No signing limits

Account protection

Mandatory two-factor authentication adds a second verification step to every sender account.

Protected workflow data

Sensitive field values and signature data support AES-256-GCM encryption at rest.

Evidence after completion

Audit activity and SHA-256-based certificate records help reveal later changes.

Layered security from account to recipient

A signing workflow crosses several trust boundaries: the sender account, the stored document, the email invitation, the recipient session, and the completed record. Bond4Docs applies controls at each stage rather than relying on one login screen.

  • Two-factor authentication for account access
  • Cryptographically random recipient tokens
  • Automatic link and document expiration options
  • AES-256-GCM encryption support for sensitive stored values
  • Timestamped event and IP activity records
  • SHA-256-based tamper-evident completion information

What a completion certificate tells you

Bond4Docs completion records use hashes of the document, signature information, and captured audit activity. A public certificate identifier can be used to check the stored certificate record. Hash comparison is designed to make later modification detectable; it is not the same as notarization or government identity verification.

Choose the right signing method for the risk

Routine business agreements and acknowledgements may use standard electronic-signature workflows, while wills, court documents, notarized instruments, regulated transactions, or high-value agreements may require additional controls. Consult qualified counsel about the document and jurisdiction when the consequences are significant.

Frequently asked questions

Does Bond4Docs use encryption?

Bond4Docs supports AES-256-GCM encryption at rest for sensitive values including document titles, signer-entered field values, and signature data when document encryption is configured.

Does Bond4Docs require two-factor authentication?

Yes. Account holders must use a second factor through email verification or a compatible authenticator app.

Are signing links public?

Each request uses a cryptographically random token. Signing URLs are excluded from the public sitemap and marked to stay out of search indexes.

Is Bond4Docs a notary or identity-verification service?

No. Bond4Docs provides an electronic-signature workflow, not notarization, knowledge-based authentication, or government ID verification.
