✍️ Control of Signature and Acceptance of Sensitive Contractual Clauses
Data protection, confidentiality, criminal compliance… all signed and traceable
In contracts with employees, suppliers, clients, or partners, there are clauses that are especially sensitive from a legal and reputational perspective.
Ensuring that these clauses have been read, understood, and legally accepted is a direct responsibility of the Compliance area.
These clauses usually include:
📄 Confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements (NDAs)
🔐 Obligations related to GDPR or data protection
🛡️ Anti-corruption, anti-bribery, or criminal compliance clauses (e.g., Corporate Criminal Liability)
📋 Business ethics, conduct, or sustainability (ESG) conditions
💼 Limitations of use, conflict of interest, or intellectual property rights
When their acceptance is not managed correctly:
❌ Signed on paper and archived without traceability
❌ Impossible to prove whether the signed version is the current one
❌ No clear evidence of date, IP, or signing person
❌ Risk of using contracts without updated clauses
⚠️ Risks of poor management of sensitive clauses
- Legal breaches with no defense capability
- Contractual risks due to lack of formal acceptance
- Weakness in criminal prevention or GDPR systems
- Loss of credibility with clients, partners, or auditors
- Difficulty resolving legal disputes or incidents
🧩 How does Consigne solve it?
With Consigne, you can ensure that all key clauses are signed with legal validity, centrally managed, and linked to the corresponding contract or process:
- Upload contractual documents and define which clauses require acceptance
(regardless of type of relationship: employment, commercial, corporate, etc.) - Assign clauses or annexes by profile, contract type, or risk
(e.g., tech providers, executives, staff with data access) - Enable electronic signature with full traceability
(date, time, IP, version, and signer identity) - Control which contracts or clauses are signed and which are pending
(with a visual, filterable dashboard) - Collect legally valid evidence for audits or litigation
(avoid disputes like “I wasn’t informed” or “I never signed that”) - Launch automatic updates when clauses are modified
(with redistribution and renewed signature if required)
