How to Choose a Secure RON Vendor

Remote Online Notarization (RON) has transformed the notary industry by enabling secure, digital-first notarizations from anywhere. With growing adoption across real estate, insurance, healthcare, and financial services, choosing the right RON vendor is one of the most important decisions for notaries, businesses, and enterprise partners.

But with so many platforms available—ranging from national leaders to smaller startups—how do you decide which solution is truly secure and future-ready?

Key Factors to Consider

1. Security & Compliance

Your chosen vendor must adhere to strict compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, MISMO certification, and industry-specific standards (HIPAA, GLBA, etc.). These independent audits prove that your vendor protects sensitive customer and transaction data.

 Many smaller competitors may offer a basic RON platform, but without SOC 2 or MISMO, they can’t guarantee enterprise-grade security.

2. Trust & Reputation

A secure RON vendor should be recognized by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and backed by proven references in multiple industries. Longevity and strong client partnerships show that the platform is more than a short-term tech experiment.

Some smaller providers may operate regionally or without third-party accreditation, which could pose risks if you handle high-value or multi-state transactions.

3. Technology Infrastructure

Look for a vendor with:
- Single Sign-On (SSO) support for enterprise logins
- Multi-signer, multi-device capability for real estate and insurance transactions
- Robust API integrations to connect with CRMs, title software, and workflow tools
- 24/7 availability through scalable cloud infrastructure

By contrast, smaller RON platforms often offer only single-signer functionality and lack enterprise integrations, limiting their use for large organizations.

4. Scalability & Enterprise Readiness

Your business may start small, but it needs a platform that grows with you. Whether you’re an independent notary or a Fortune 500 enterprise, the right RON vendor should offer tiered plans, enterprise pricing models, and dedicated support teams.

Many smaller competitors focus only on individual notaries, offering “one-size-fits-all” pricing without the infrastructure to support enterprise-scale deployments.
