Ratifio vs Secured Signing
Secured Signing is a New Zealand-based e-signature platform that uses PKI digital certificates for document signing. It takes compliance seriously — digital certificates provide strong tamper evidence. But the platform itself feels dated, and the user experience reflects an era when compliance meant complexity.
Modern compliance signing that's auditable without being painful
Digital certificate-based e-signatures with strong legal validity
Secured Signing pricing typically requires annual commitments and per-user fees. Here's what Ratifio offers instead.
For regulated teams getting started with e-signatures
For organisations with regulatory reporting obligations
For financial services, healthcare, and government
Every action is logged with IP address, user agent, ISO 8601 timestamp, and document hash. Consent text recorded verbatim. Not a summary — the actual evidence trail your regulator expects.
Financial regulators expect 7 years. Healthcare expects 8-10. Ratifio stores documents and audit trails for the full retention period with immutable logs and automated retention management.
SHA-256 hash at upload, recorded before signing begins. Any modification to the document after upload is cryptographically detectable. This isn't a feature — it's the architecture.
REST API, webhooks, bulk operations, and white-label embedding. Ratifio fits into your existing compliance stack. Integrate with your GRC platform, case management system, or internal workflow.
Secured Signing deserves credit for taking digital certificates seriously — PKI-based signing provides genuine cryptographic tamper evidence. But compliance doesn't have to mean complexity. Ratifio delivers equivalent audit trail depth with a modern interface that signers actually want to use.
