eSign tools all look the same…until they don’t. On the surface, most platforms offer a simple workflow: upload a document, tag a few fields, send for signature. Easy.

But under the hood, there’s a world of difference between platforms built for speed, and those built for security, compliance, and scale. For businesses that care about fraud prevention, identity assurance, and full lifecycle visibility, the default options are starting to show their limits.

Proof Sign offers a smarter alternative.

Key takeaways

• Identity-first security: Identity verification (ID scans, biometrics, liveness detection) is built into the workflow, not an optional add-on.
• Unified workflows: Manage standard eSign and notarized signatures within a single, seamless process.
• Proactive risk detection: Real-time monitoring for behavioral anomalies and liveness checks helps prevent fraud before it happens.
• Enterprise scalability: Built-in multi-org functionality and EasyLinks allow for rapid, branded deployment across large organizations.
• Proven ROI: Customers report up to 40% cost savings and 50% faster closing times.

Head-to-Head: What Really Sets Us Apart

Identity Isn’t an Add-On. It’s the Starting Point.

Proof builds identity directly into the signing experience. That means:

• Government ID scan
• Live selfie match and presence detection
• KBA where needed
• Real-time fraud signals if something looks off
  

You don’t need extra tools or manual reviews. Identity assurance is baked in:

• EasyLinks: Simplicity at Scale - With Proof, you don’t need a developer or admin panel to launch secure, customized workflows. EasyLinks let you share a branded, pre-configured signing experience in seconds. You can embed links in email, SMS, or internal use. Plus, you can eliminate back-and-forth by collecting verified signatures on demand. For fast-moving teams, it’s a lightweight, high-trust solution that scales with ease.
• One Workflow for Every Signature Type - Need to collect a notarized signature and an internal sign-off? With Proof, you can handle both in a single, seamless workflow. This is especially useful for complex transactions like real estate closings, equipment financing agreements, or loan origination and servicing, where different types of signatures are often required at different steps. Instead of bouncing between tools or chasing multiple versions of a document, your team and your signers get a smooth, unified experience - and your records stay complete and compliant.
• Risk Detection Built In - Proof doesn’t just capture signatures; it helps you actively prevent fraud. Every signing session is monitored for behavioral anomalies, such as unusual signing patterns or inconsistencies in signer behavior. The system also detects mismatches between IP addresses and devices, flagging potential spoofing attempts. Liveness checks confirm the signer is physically present, not just a photo or recording.

All of these signals are logged in real time and available for review, investigation, or audit whenever you need them.

Built for the Enterprise

Whether you manage five brands or fifty business units, Proof makes it easy to stay in control. You can set user permissions across multiple organizations, enforce brand consistency for customer-facing experiences, and monitor activity from a single dashboard, without stitching together manual workarounds.

Multi-org functionality is built in from the start, not bolted on later.

Real Results from Real Customers

Organizations across industries are already seeing the impact. One credit union that added Proof Sign reduced their combined eSign and ID verification costs by 40%. A nationwide real estate platform cut their closing time in half. And a leasing company fully eliminated fraud in high-risk applications after consolidating onto Proof.

These aren’t marginal improvements; they’re meaningful outcomes made possible by a smarter platform.

The Bottom Line

Legacy platforms weren’t built for today’s trust-driven, fraud-sensitive environment. Proof was.

With Proof Sign, you can verify every signer, reduce your fraud exposure, simplify your tech stack, and stay audit-ready - without the overhead of multiple tools. It’s not about having more features. It’s about having the right foundation for how modern business gets done.
