SigningHub in the Philippines

Yes, SigningHub supports electronic signatures in Microsoft Word. In fact, it offers a dedicated SigningHub for Word app that seamlessly integrates with Word 2013. Here’s how it works:

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.
2. Prepare your document – Create or edit an existing document in Word as usual. You can even pre-insert signatures lines where you want signers to place their signatures. This can be done from the “Insert” menu.
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.
4. Manage your workflow – Define the signing order for multiple recipients if needed. SigningHub then securely shares the document with those individuals for their electronic signatures
5. Track progress – We provide real-time updates on the document’s signing status, notifying you when each signer completes their part.

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.
