Frequently asked questions
- What is the main benefit of self-hosted signing?
- Data residency and control—you own the keys, storage, and audit logs instead of exporting trust to a foreign SaaS.
- Does SealRoute support qualified signatures?
- Deployment models vary by jurisdiction; we integrate with your PKI and process requirements during implementation.
- Who typically deploys SealRoute?
- Regulated enterprises, system integrators, and SaaS vendors white-labeling signing for their customers.
Cloud e-signature tools are fast to adopt—and hard to justify when legal, security, or procurement mandates data stays in Indonesia or keys never leave your VPC.
Why do teams self-host e-signature?
- Residency — Contracts and KYC documents remain on infrastructure you control.
- Auditability — Immutable event logs tied to your SIEM, not a vendor export.
- Integration — Embed signing into ERP, CRM, or loan origination without iframe hacks.
- Cost predictability — Per-seat SaaS fees explode at enterprise scale; self-hosted flattens the curve.
