  • Publication number: 20240114058
    Abstract: A system and a method are disclosed for providing recommendations for sets of security operations for improving security of documents created or executed within an online document system. A supplier entity may select sets of security operations to be performed for a request provided to a signing entity. The online document system computes an aggregate measure of security for the selected sets of security operations and compares it to a threshold measure of security. If the aggregate measure is less than the threshold measure, the online document system uses a machine-learned model to identify additional sets of security operations that when added, results in an updated aggregate measure of security greater than the threshold. The additional sets of security operations are presented to the supplier entity for inclusion within a security operation workflow in combination with the selected sets of security operations.

  • Publication number: 20240070380
    Abstract: A document management system identifies policies specific to an entity's domain and applies relevant policies to documents managed by the entity. The document management system identifies a portion of the document with a triggering property associated with the entity's domain and tags that portion with an application programming interface (API) plug-in. After the document is transmitted to a recipient, the document management system activates the API plug-in. The API plug-in runs a function on the document, applying a subset of the entity's policies to the document.

  • Publication number: 20200389319
    Abstract: Various embodiments support or provide for an extensible electronic claim verification system that offers extensible support for electronic verification by one or more external electronic claim verification services that are external to the extensible electronic claim verification system. For some embodiments, the extensible claim verification system is readily configurable (e.g., by a user) to add or remove access to one or more external claim verification services available for use through the extensible electronic claim verification system by a client device. Some embodiments implement the extensible support by using a unified protocol for interfacing with different external claim verification services. By use of the unified protocol, various embodiments enable an external claim verification service to plug into an extensible claim verification system, thereby permitting a user to extend support of the extensible claim verification system to different types of external claim verification services.

  • Patent number: 10607023
    Abstract: A computing device includes a network interface, a storage controller, a sharing tool and a protection service. The network interface communicatively couples the computing device to one or more computing devices. The storage controller is configured to access a plurality of digital payloads. Each of the digital payloads is associated with a plurality of access tags including content tags and context tags. The sharing tool is configured to share, with a recipient computing device via the network interface, a selected digital payload. The protection service configured to automatically control sharing of the selected digital payload with the recipient computing device based on determining that a prospective recipient associated with the recipient computing device has a work designation or a personal designation that is inconsistent with one or both of a context indicated by the context tags and a content indicated by the content tags.
