AUDIT TRAIL • TAMPER-EVIDENT LOGS

Keep a Clear Record of Every Signing Activity

When important documents are signed, knowing who signed, when they signed, and what happened during the signing process matters.
Indigo e-Sign provides detailed audit trails that help you keep a clear record of document and signing activity from the moment a document is sent until the signing process is completed.
Track the activity. Keep the record. Sign with confidence.

Know What Happened to Your Document

Once you send a document for signature, Indigo e-Sign helps you keep track of its progress in real-time.

👁️ Step 1

Viewed

Know the exact moment signers open and review the agreement, with authenticated access timestamps.

✍️ Step 2

Signed

Capture legally binding signatures with cryptographic hashing, signer IP address, and timestamp metadata.

✅ Step 3

Completed

Automatic certificate of completion generated with full event history available for download and review.

This gives you a simple way to follow the signing process without relying on follow-up emails, phone calls, or manual tracking spreadsheets.

Detailed Audit Trails for Every Agreement

An audit trail keeps a record of important events associated with your document.

Instead of only seeing the final signed agreement, you can review the activity that took place throughout the signing process.

This helps you maintain better visibility over your agreements, verify participant actions, and establish an unbroken chain of custody for your organization's records.

Tamper-Evident Audit Logs

Indigo e-Sign uses tamper-evident audit logs to help maintain the integrity of document and signing records.

🛡️ Cryptographically Verified Integrity

Important activity associated with the signing process is recorded, giving you a more reliable record of what happened to your document.

Each recorded interaction is locked with SHA-256 cryptographic hashing to ensure that neither documents nor logs can be altered after signing.

Track Documents From Send to Completion

Keep track of your documents without switching between different tools.
