COMPLIANCE & TRUST

What is an Audit Trail in VolkSign®?

An Audit Trail is an automatic, immutable record of every action taken on a document, from creation and sending through to signing and storage. Each event is timestamped, attributed to a specific user or recipient, and secured against modification. VolkSign® generates a complete audit trail for every document automatically ,no setup required. This trail forms part of the Digital Certificate attached to every signed document, giving you a single, comprehensive record of the document’s entire lifecycle.

Everything the Audit Trail Captures

Document Created & Modified

Every time a document is created, edited, or versioned, the action is recorded with the user's identity and timestamp.

Signed or Declined

Each signature ,including the signer's verified identity, IP address, and timestamp ,is permanently recorded.

Sent & Delivered

The exact time a document was sent and confirmed as delivered to each recipient is captured and stored.

Comments & Changes

All redline changes, comments, and approvals are logged as part of the trail ,capturing the full negotiation history.

Opened & Viewed

Every time a recipient opens the document, the date, time, and device information is logged.

Downloadable Certificate

The complete audit trail is embedded in the downloadable Digital Certificate PDF ,providing a portable, shareable compliance record.
