Built for US legal & professional services.

Built for the US workflow

Most confidential exchanges in the US run on a familiar stack: DocuSign or Adobe Acrobat Sign for signatures, Drive or OneDrive for files, the firm DMS for retention. Arkin Vault does not replace any of that. It sits between them, governs the handoff from agreement to release, and produces the evidence pack that the existing tools cannot.

Signature methods we support

• Electronic signatures aligned to ESIGN and UETA — clear consent language, intent-to-sign, retained records, reproducible from the audit trail.
• External signing platforms — DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat Sign, Zoho Sign, Dropbox Sign, PandaDoc. Treat the completion event as the release condition.
• Wet signature with manual approval — recipient uploads a scanned wet-signed PDF, admin reviews and approves, evidence pack labels completion as manual.
• Confidentiality acknowledgment — for lighter-weight workflows where a full NDA is overkill.

Privacy posture

We respect customer document ownership: no sale, no training of general AI models on private customer documents, no covert collection. Recipients see a clear access notice before they begin. Our retention and deletion workflow supports state-level privacy statutes (CCPA / CPRA and analogues) and works for firms with sector-specific obligations (HIPAA-adjacent, GLBA-adjacent — though we are not a covered entity ourselves and do not claim to be a substitute for sector-specific compliance).

Verticals we focus on first

• Law firms — client confidentiality, vendor onboarding, M&A diligence, dispute exchanges, opinion delivery.
• In-house counsel and General Counsel — vendor NDAs, partner agreements, IP disclosures, employee confidentiality.
• CPAs and accounting firms — engagement letters, tax records, audit-firm document handling, client intake.
• Consulting firms — client NDAs, SOWs, confidential deliverables.
• Government contractors — procurement records, compliance documentation, restricted release workflows.

What we do not claim

Honest scope:

• That Arkin Vault is "legally valid" or court-admissible in every US state and every matter — that depends on the agreement type, the signature method, the jurisdiction, and counsel review.
• That we are a substitute for counsel. We replace the workflow tooling around the agreement, not the legal judgment that goes into it.
• That we are SOC 2 or HIPAA certified today — those certifications are roadmap items, scoped to demand.

We will earn trust through what we deliver, not through claims on the homepage.
