Signing directly in MS Word:

  1. Install the SigningHub for Word app – You can find it on Microsoft AppSource and download it as an add-in for Word 2013.

  3. Sign and share – Within your word document, use the SigningHub app to sign the document with your digital signature. You can choose from various signature styles, including typed signature, drawing your signature with a mouse or your finger on a touchscreen, or uploading an image of your signature from your device.

  5. Track progress – We provide real-time updates on the document’s signing status, notifying you when each signer completes their part.

What security measures are in place for signing online with SigningHub?

Security is our top priority. We take a multi-layered approach to security, offering various measures to protect your documents and identity when signing online. Here’s a breakdown of our key security features:

  • Public key infrastructure (PKI) encryption: SigningHub uses PKI technology. This means your signature is created with a unique private key only you can access, while the public key verifies your identity. This ensures strong non-repudiation, meaning you can’t deny signing the document later. Learn more about PKI technology on our parent website.
  • Storage options: You can choose where your private key is stored:
    • Server-held keys: Securely held in a hardware security module (HSM) or encrypted in the SigningHub database.
    • Locally-held keys: On a secure smartcard, USB token, or password-protected file.
    • Mobile-held keys: On your mobile device’s secure hardware chip or in a protected app.
  • Flexible user authentication.
    • Password login – Standard account protection with strong password recommendations
    • Two-factor Authentication (2FA): An extra layer of security, requiring a code from your smartphone or another device after logging in
    • One-time Password (OTP): Can be used for individual documents, requiring a unique code sent via email or SMS for signing
  • Additional security measures:
    • Audit trails – SigningHub records every action taken on a document, providing a complete history for accountability and dispute resolution
    • Admin controls – Organisations can manage user access, permissions, and audit trails for complete document tracking and control
    • Document tamper detection – Any changes made to a signed document after signing are easily identified and flagged.
