Key Focus Areas
Platform Compliance
Many platforms claim to be state compliant but may not meet actual requirements. We work to ensure proper certification and compliance standards are maintained.
Expert Insight: Greg Lirette of Notary Geek, a remote online notary and cybersecurity expert, highlights the importance of moving beyond self-certification programs like MISMO.
Digital Certificate Education
There is a significant lack of education in digital certificates and cybersecurity. Many rely too heavily on AI information rather than verified facts.
Our Goal: Provide comprehensive, fact-based education to notaries and stakeholders about digital security requirements.
