When you're signing contracts, employee agreements, legal forms, and financial records, security isn't optional. It's everything.
That's why we're sharing that Xodo Sign has achieved SOC 2 Type 2 compliance. An independent auditor reviewed our security controls over several months and confirmed they work as designed in real conditions. Not just on paper - in practice.
This certification means Xodo Sign meets rigorous security standards for electronic signature platforms, giving you verified protection for your most sensitive documents.
What SOC 2 Type 2 means for an E-signature platform
SOC 2 Type 2 is an independent audit that checks how our security controls perform over time, not only on a single day. The review covers a period of 6 to 12 months and tests how well a company protects:
- Security - Unauthorized access is blocked and monitored
- Availability - The system stays up and reliable
- Processing integrity - Documents get processed accurately and completely
- Confidentiality - Sensitive information stays protected and private
- Privacy - Personal data is managed according to strict criteria
If you work in insurance, finance, legal, healthcare, real estate, or franchises, you know how critical secure document signing and compliant e-signature platforms are. Your industry demands it because the stakes are high.
Benefits of SOC 2 Type 2 certified e-signatures
Your documents are better protected
Every signature you collect runs through systems that have been independently verified for security. When clients or employees send you sensitive information through Xodo Sign's secure e-signature platform, you can trust it's being handled with the level of care it deserves.
Your customers' data stays secure
If you're collecting signatures from customers, you're responsible for their data. SOC 2 Type 2 means the platform protecting that data meets rigorous, tested standards. That matters when you're managing NDAs, client contracts, or any document with personal information.
Vendor approval gets easier
Yes, this helps with procurement. If your IT, legal, or compliance teams need SOC 2 certification to approve a tool, we've got you covered. But it's not just about getting through a checklist - it's about actually deserving their trust with a compliant digital signature solution.
Your compliance gets simpler
When you need to demonstrate you're handling data properly for HIPAA, GDPR, state privacy laws, or industry regulations, your vendors matter. Using a SOC 2 Type 2 certified e-signature platform is one less thing your auditors question.
Growth comes without security concerns
As you take on larger clients or more complex work, security scrutiny increases. Having a SOC 2 Type 2 compliant electronic signature solution means you're ready for those enterprise-level security conversations from day one.
Enterprise-grade security at SMB pricing
We completed SOC 2 Type 2 because we're growing, our customers are growing, and the work you're doing with Xodo Sign demands this level of security. But we didn't change our pricing model to reflect it.
You still get:
- Unlimited digital signatures on paid plans
- Custom branding for multiple businesses
- Robust API for custom integrations
- Team collaboration features
- Audit trails and tamper-proof documents
- SOC 2 Type 2 verified security
Whether you're a 50-person HR firm digitizing onboarding, a franchise network managing agreements across locations, or an accounting practice handling client contracts, you shouldn't have to choose between real security and reasonable pricing.
What comes next
SOC 2 Type 2 is part of our ongoing work on security, but it's not the finish line. We'll keep investing in our infrastructure and processes as our customers' needs evolve and security standards change.

Frequently asked questions
What is SOC 2 Type 2 compliance?
It is an independent audit that confirms a company’s security controls work effectively over time. The auditor reviews real activity across several months rather than checking a single moment.
Does SOC 2 Type 2 make e‑signatures legally valid?
No. Legal validity comes from e‑signature laws such as ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS. SOC 2 Type 2 supports legal validity by showing that the platform handles documents and data in a responsible way.
How is SOC 2 Type 2 different from Type 1?
Type 1 verifies that controls are set up. Type 2 tests how they function over a longer time period. This provides stronger assurance for document‑handling and e-signature workflows.
Does Xodo Sign hold any other security certifications?
Yes. Xodo Sign follows practices that align with industry standards. You can read more on our e-signature compliance and security page. For vendor reviews, reach out and our team will provide detailed information.
Is Xodo Sign secure for remote or distributed teams?
Yes. SOC 2 Type 2 confirms that Xodo Sign protects documents and account data across all access points, including remote logins. Teams can send, sign, and manage documents from different locations without weakening security standards.
How does SOC 2 Type 2 help with GDPR or HIPAA requirements?
SOC 2 Type 2 reviews how a company protects data in real conditions. Many of the tested controls overlap with expectations in GDPR and HIPAA, such as access rules, logging, data handling, and incident response. It supports your compliance posture but does not replace GDPR or HIPAA.
Which industries need SOC 2 Type 2 compliant e‑signature tools?
Financial services, insurance, legal, healthcare, real estate, franchises, and government contractors often require SOC 2 Type 2 level of security. Any business handling private or regulated information benefits from using a certified platform.
Can SMBs use SOC 2 Type 2 tools without technical expertise?
Yes. SOC 2 Type 2 reflects how the platform operates behind the scenes. It does not add extra steps for your team. Small businesses can use Xodo Sign without any configuration or technical setup.
Can I request access to the actual SOC 2 report?
Yes. The report is confidential and shared under NDA as part of the vendor review process. Contact our team if you need access.
