Due to an increasingly interconnected environment, information is exposed to a larger and wider variety of risks. With continuous threats such as computer viruses, Trojan horses, Denial-of-Service (DoS) Attacks and Phishing becoming more common, ambitious and sophisticated, it makes implementing, maintaining and updating information security in an organisation more of a challenge.
However, here at E-Sign we have robust policies and procedures in place to protect a secure information infrastructure. We are ISO 27001 and Cyber essentials accredited, have been approved as an authorised supplier on the Government’s PSN and are ITHC compliant.
At E-Sign, security and privacy are at the heart of everything we do. With both the latest cyber and physical security measures in place, you can be sure your data and network are protected with E-Sign.
Operating from UK-based, ISO 27001-certified data centres, our state-of-the-art servers are protected with commercial-grade firewalls, border routers, and network management systems, as well as 24-hour on-site security and strict physical access controls.
Compliant with industry- recognised standards, you can rest assured that our security system will protect your data from loss, damage and cyberthreats.
Our IT security team monitors the E-Sign network, providing assurances for all staff to focus their efforts on other objectives. We have implemented the latest security tools throughout our systems, which focus on any particularly high-value or high-risk integrations and touchpoints.
Our access control and compliance policy ensures your data is never compromised. At E-Sign, we leave nothing to chance; we’re constantly testing and improving our security system for the ultimate protection.

An ITHC, or IT Health Check, is an IT security assessment that’s part of the compliance process for many government computer systems in the UK.
Generally performed by an external service provider, an ITHC touches on both applications and infrastructure and involves an element of penetration testing.
This accreditation is essential for any company wishing to supply services to public sector organisations via the Public Service Network.
By meeting these requirements and more, E-Sign is able to supply our digital solutions on the PSN, making us the only e-signature on the market with the ability to do so.
With the ability to select a customisable password for the E-Sign platform, you can be sure that all users set hard-to-break passwords that effectively protect your sensitive business information from prying eyes.
