Every signature on Zignt is protected by strong AES-256 encryption and captured with a detailed audit trail, designed around international e-signature frameworks like E-SIGN, UETA, and eIDAS.
Recognized and enforceable worldwide
The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (2000) gives electronic signatures the same legal status as handwritten signatures for most business transactions.
European electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services regulation provides legal framework across all 27 EU member states.
Uniform Electronic Transactions Act adopted by 47 US states provides consistent electronic signature standards at state level.
For most common business contracts, signatures collected through Zignt are intended to carry the same legal weight as a traditional handwritten signature. Actual enforceability depends on your jurisdiction, the document type, and the signing process, so we recommend consulting a qualified attorney for regulated or high-risk agreements.
Your documents are protected at every step
All documents are encrypted using AES-256, a widely adopted industry-standard algorithm. Your contracts are protected both in transit (TLS) and at rest.
