Audit trail

Capture signer actions, timestamps, and document history in an Audit Trail attached to the completed Form DE 8401 From Edd record for review and controlled retention.

Signer authentication

Use SMS one-time passwords or other available authentication controls when the information on the EDD form requires stronger signer identity evidence than an email link alone.
