RatiVault vs Nitro Sign
Nitro Sign is part of Nitro's document productivity suite — good for general business signing, PDF editing, and collaboration. But financial services firms have requirements that go beyond productivity: tamper-proof storage, 7-year retention, FCA-ready audit trails, and cryptographic document integrity. That's infrastructure, not a feature checkbox.
Vault-grade signing infrastructure for financial services
Document productivity and e-signatures for business
Nitro Sign pricing typically requires annual commitments and per-user fees. Here's what RatiVault offers instead.
For advisory firms and small financial practices
For regulated firms with compliance obligations
For banks, insurers, and large financial institutions
SHA-256 hash at upload, before any signer touches the document. Immutable audit trail throughout. Any modification is cryptographically detectable. Not a feature flag — the architecture itself.
Financial regulators expect years of retention. RatiVault stores documents and complete audit trails for 7 years by default, with immutable storage that prevents deletion or tampering during the retention period.
Per-event logging: IP address, user agent, ISO 8601 timestamp, verbatim consent text, document hash. Exportable as signed audit certificates. Designed for the questions your FCA supervisor will ask.
The signing experience runs zero analytics, zero tracking pixels, zero third-party scripts. Your clients' financial data and signing behaviour is never shared with anyone. Full stop.
Nitro Sign is a solid choice for general business document management and signing. If you're in financial services and your compliance team needs tamper-proof storage, FCA-grade audit trails, and 7-year retention, RatiVault is built for that specific requirement.
