Audit Trail

An audit trail is a chronological record of all events related to a document — who opened, signed or declined it — including timestamps and IP addresses.

Full Definition

In the context of electronic signatures, an audit trail is key evidence in a dispute: it proves that a signature was given by a specific person at a specific time and from a specific location. zipzipdoc generates a detailed audit trail for every document — with OTP verification, signer email, IP address and timestamp — and stores it alongside the PDF.
