1. Modernized Platform Upgrade
Region: Global
Overview emSigner is now powered by a modernized architecture built on .NET Core. This transition delivers measurable improvements in document processing speed, platform reliability, and security posture. The platform is now cloud-native by design, supporting Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD deployment pipelines, and runs natively on Windows, Linux, and containerized environments. This release also introduces a refreshed user interface designed for greater clarity and ease of use, with improved navigation and a more responsive layout across devices, and adds full Content Security Policy (CSP) support to strengthen protection against cross-site scripting and related browser-based threats.
Key Benefits
Faster document processing and improved responsiveness across all workflows
Enhanced platform stability and reliability under high transaction volumes
Strengthened security aligned with current industry standards, including full CSP support
Improved scalability to accommodate growing signing volumes
Cloud and DevOps readiness: Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipeline support
Cross-platform compatibility: Windows, Linux, and container environments
Robust 3-tier architecture for better long-term maintainability
Use Cases
Enterprises handling high-volume document signing workflows
Organizations adopting cloud-native or containerized deployment strategies
Businesses requiring faster document turnaround times
IT teams seeking a scalable, future-ready infrastructure
2. Self-Service Subscription Management
Region: Global
Overview Administrators can now manage their emSigner subscription directly from within the platform. The application provides real-time visibility into usage, flexible controls for plan upgrade, and renewal workflows, reducing the need to contact the account team for routine subscription tasks.

Cloud customers benefit from the performance and UI improvements automatically, without any manual intervention. As part of this transition, the Advanced Plan has been discontinued for new subscriptions. This migration includes a pricing update: the Aadhaar eSign charge has been revised from Rs. 5 to Rs. 10 per transaction, effective from the date of migration.
Key Benefits
Consistent experience across all plan tiers on the unified Core platform
Access to improved performance, security, and the refreshed UI
Use Cases

4. Bulk Signing — Desktop Tool & Enhanced Dashboard
Region: Global
Overview emSigner introduces a new desktop application for bulk signing, enabling users to sign large volumes of documents directly from their desktop without navigating through the web dashboard for every batch. Alongside this, the in-dashboard bulk signing experience has been redesigned for greater clarity, with improved document selection, progress tracking, and error handling during large-batch operations.
Key Benefits
Dedicated desktop tool for high-volume signing outside the browser
Refreshed in-dashboard bulk signing workflow with clearer progress and status indicators
Reduced turnaround time for large batches of documents
Improved visibility into failures or exceptions during bulk operations
Use Cases

Users who prefer a desktop-native experience for repetitive signing tasks
5. Activity Logs & Audit Trail
Region: Global
Overview emSigner's activity logging has been strengthened with tamper-evident audit trails, combining SHA-256 hashing with HMAC to ensure that logs cannot be altered without detection. Coverage has been expanded to capture a broader range of platform events, and the audit trail interface now supports rich filtering to help administrators and auditors quickly locate specific activity.
Key Benefits
Tamper-evident logging using SHA-256 and HMAC for verifiable integrity
Expanded event coverage across the platform
Rich filtering options for faster investigation and reporting
Stronger audit posture to support compliance and internal governance
Use Cases

IT and security teams investigating specific user or document activity
6. API Enhancements — OAuth & Modernized Contracts
Region: Global

Additional protections include multi-factor authentication at login, configurable password policies, account lockout after repeated failed attempts, and rate limiting for secure service-to-service communication.
Key Benefits
Streamlined, secure login via SSO (Google, Microsoft 365, SAML)
UAE PASS integration for national digital identity authentication
Login-level multi-factor authentication for stronger identity assurance
Configurable password policies and account lockout protection

Key Benefits
Departmental structuring for better organization of users and workflows
Granular roles and permissions for precise access control
Delegation support for continuity when users are unavailable
Co-branding options to reflect organizational identity
Custom statuses for workflow states tailored to business needs
