External Archiving Using Trust Vault

Trust Vault enables organizations to securely store critical signed and completed digital agreements ensuring long-term viability and integrity that withstands the test of time.

Supported functionalities include:

  • Out of the box integration with OneSpan Sign
  • Granular user access management through OneSpan Sign Roles and Permissions functionality
  • Irrefutable Proof Certificate

If you are testing the Trust Vault in your Sandbox environment please note that proofs are stored using a blockchain partner. As this is a testing environment, proofs are routinely removed from the blockchain, meaning that once this is done the links in the proof certificate will no longer work. As such, you should not use Trust Vault in a Sandbox environment for anything other than testing purposes.

To enable Trust Vault on your OneSpan Sign account, please contact our Support Team.

If sub-accounts are enabled, Trust Vault cannot be used.

Archiving to the Trust Vault

Once Trust Vault has been enabled, any transactions that have been Completed for the enabled account will be archived in the Trust Vault. No additional actions are required.

Any transactions that were completed before the Trust Vault was enabled are not archived.
