Compliance Center
Built for compliance.
Audited for trust.
Notara's platform is being engineered from the ground up to meet the strictest regulatory requirements for remote online notarization, electronic signatures, and identity verification across all 48 RON-enabled states. We are actively pursuing industry certifications and building compliance into every layer of the platform.
Certifications & Standards
SOC 2 Type II
Notara is pursuing SOC 2 Type II certification with an independent auditor covering security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
256-bit AES Encryption
Platform designed with AES-256 encryption at rest and TLS 1.3 in transit as core infrastructure requirements.
MISMO Standards
Notara is building to meet Mortgage Industry Standards Maintenance Organization standards for remote online notarization. Certification will be pursued once the platform is fully operational.
ESIGN Act / UETA
Electronic signatures designed to meet all requirements of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (15 U.S.C. § 7001) and UETA.
Security Architecture
Every layer of the Notara platform is designed with security and compliance as the foundation, not an afterthought.
Multi-Factor Identity Verification
Credential analysis with document authentication, knowledge-based authentication (KBA) using credit bureau data, and biometric facial matching.
Tamper-Evident Technology
Cryptographic hashing (SHA-256) applied to all notarized documents, recordings, and journal entries. Any modification attempt is immediately detectable.
Cloud Infrastructure
Designed for deployment on enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with redundancy, automated failover, and high-availability architecture.
Secure Data Retention
Architecture designed to retain session recordings, journals, and documents per state-specific requirements (5–10 years minimum) with automated lifecycle management.
Disaster Recovery
Platform designed with automated backup and cross-region replication capabilities to ensure data durability and rapid recovery.
Fraud Detection
Planned real-time fraud monitoring during sessions including document forgery detection, IP geolocation verification, and behavioral anomaly alerts.
Complete Audit Trail
Every RON session on Notara generates a comprehensive, tamper-evident audit trail that satisfies the most rigorous regulatory and title insurance requirements. The following data points are captured and cryptographically sealed for every session:
Audit trail requirements vary by state. Notara automatically captures all data required by the most restrictive state regulations, ensuring compliance regardless of which state's law applies to a particular notarization.
Data Points Captured Per Session
- Session start time and end time
- Notary name and commission number
- Signer name(s) and contact information
- Identity verification method and result
- KBA question topics and pass/fail status
- Credential analysis result with document details
- Biometric facial match confidence score
- IP addresses of all participants
- Geolocation data of all participants
- Document hash values (SHA-256) before and after signing
- Each signature and seal application with timestamp
- Notary journal entry with notarial act details
- Audio-video recording with tamper-evident hash
- Signer consent acknowledgments
- Recording start/stop timestamps
