Smart Security. Secure Waivers.

Smartwaiver’s WaiverVault™ is built with enterprise-grade security to protect sensitive waiver data at every stage. It uses the same encryption standards trusted by the US government to safeguard classified information, ensuring your data remains private, protected, and resilient.

WaiverVault™ utilizes Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256-bit encryption, one of the strongest encryption methods available today. This level of encryption protects data both at rest and in transit, making it extremely difficult for unauthorized parties to access or decipher stored information.

To further protect your data, waivers are securely stored using Amazon S3 with built-in redundancy across multiple geographic locations. This architecture ensures reliability, availability, and long-term data preservation, even in the event of system failures or regional disruptions.

Key security features include:

• AES 256-bit encryption, the same standard used by the US government for top-secret data

• Encryption applied to stored data and during transmission

• Secure storage using Amazon S3 infrastructure

• Automatic data redundancy across multiple geographic locations

• High availability and fault tolerance to prevent data loss

• Enterprise-grade protection designed for sensitive personal information

This approach ensures your waivers are not only secure, but also consistently accessible when you need them.

Smartwaiver is SOC 2 Type II compliant, demonstrating a strong commitment to protecting customer data through proven, independently audited security controls. This certification confirms that Smartwaiver’s systems and processes have been thoroughly evaluated over time, not just at a single point, to ensure consistent operational effectiveness.

SOC 2 Type II compliance means Smartwaiver has undergone an independent audit to validate that its service commitments and system controls meet the rigorous Trust Services Criteria established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).

The audit evaluates Smartwaiver against five key trust principles, ensuring data is handled responsibly, securely, and reliably throughout its lifecycle.

SOC 2 Type II covers the following Trust Service Criteria:

• Security: Protection against unauthorized access, both physical and logical

• Availability: Systems are operational and accessible as committed

• Processing Integrity: Data is processed accurately, completely, and in a timely manner

• Confidentiality: Sensitive information is protected from unauthorized disclosure

• Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, and disposed of appropriately

Smartwaiver received its SOC 2 Type II certification in 2022, providing assurance that these controls were not only designed effectively but also operated consistently over the audit period.

Every Smartwaiver is protected by a built-in Certificate of Authenticity that verifies the integrity of each signed document. Each digital waiver is assigned a unique document ID, creating a verifiable record that confirms the waiver is genuine and unchanged from the moment it was signed.

This certificate ensures that signed waivers cannot be altered, edited, or tampered with after execution. It provides confidence for both your business and your guests by validating that the stored waiver exactly matches the original document that was signed.

The Certificate of Authenticity helps support the enforceability and reliability of digital waivers by preserving a clear, auditable record of the signing event.

Key benefits include:

• Unique document ID assigned to every signed waiver

• Verification that the waiver has not been modified after signing

• Confirmation that stored records match the original signed document

• Tamper-evident protection for digital signatures

• Clear audit trail to support legal and compliance needs

• Added assurance for businesses and participants alike

This approach ensures every waiver remains trustworthy, verifiable, and defensible over time.
