PAdES digital signatures
Every signature is sealed with a verifiable certificate chain. Any change after signing breaks the seal — tamper-evidence is built in.
Built on cryptographic signing
AppliFlo defaults to PAdES — a stronger, tamper-evident signature standard than the simple click-to-sign most tools ship.
How we protect your documents
AES-256 encryption
Documents are encrypted at rest and in transit, so they are protected end to end.
Complete audit trail
Every action is logged with IP address, timestamp, and geolocation for full traceability.
Access controls
Workspaces scope who can see and act on documents, with sign-out and session controls.
How signing works
AppliFlo seals signatures using PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures), which embeds a cryptographic signature into the PDF and binds it to the document's contents through a certificate chain. If the document is altered after signing, the seal breaks and the change is detectable independently — not just within our system.
Encryption
Documents are encrypted with AES-256 at rest and protected with TLS in transit, so your files are secured throughout their lifecycle.
Audit trail
Each envelope carries a complete record of activity: who acted, when, from what IP address, and approximate geolocation — so you can show a full, time-stamped history of every signature.
AI data handling
AppliFlo uses AI to detect fields and summarize documents. Our intent is that customer and CRM data is used to operate the service for you — not to train foundation models. We are confirming the exact wording of this commitment with our team before publishing it as a formal policy.
AI data-handling statement is being finalized with our team — treat this as our current intent, not a contractual commitment yet.
Compliance
We are deliberate about compliance language. PAdES cryptographic signing is real and built. AppliFlo is designed to support ESIGN/UETA and eIDAS signing workflows.
We do not claim certifications we do not hold. We are not making “SOC 2 certified,” “HIPAA compliant,” or “eIDAS qualified” claims. As formal programs progress, we will state their status plainly here.
Sub-processors & status
A list of sub-processors and a public status page will be linked here as they are published. If you need details for a security review in the meantime, please reach out.
