Our security and engineering teams have completed validation testing and have been actively rolling out patches to address the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities across all of our environments. We have taken a methodical approach to remediation using a canary system with telemetry and monitoring as a guide to ensure customers continue to have a stable, performant and secure experience on our platform.
DocuSign has prioritized and remediated devices in a deliberate manner using a risk based approach working diligently over the past week and patching the vast majority of our infrastructure. Next steps are to continue remediation for all remaining devices and as additional vendor patches become available we will continue testing and deploying in the same manner.
Our Incident Response team continuously monitors our systems for any evidence of attempts to exploit vulnerabilities such as 'Spectre' and 'Meltdown' and we have seen no indications of attempts to target our platforms using these vulnerabilities.

On January 4th three information security vulnerabilities were released, CVE-2017-5753, CVE-2017-5715, and CVE-2017-5754, which exploit critical vulnerabilities in modern processors. These hardware bugs, known as Meltdown and Spectre, allow an application unauthorized access to read system memory.
Upon learning of these vulnerabilities, DocuSign initiated incident response procedures to ensure the security of the company’s servers, core systems and online properties. We have reviewed all of our sites and supporting infrastructure to identify systems which require patching. DocuSign’s operations team is actively testing these updates in non-production environments and, once this is complete, will roll these updates out to our production servers.
In addition, DocuSign has identified a number of partners who may be affected by these vulnerabilities and are working closely with them to ensure their systems are updated as quickly as possible.
DocuSign will continue to monitor the status of the situation and provide updates as needed.

Our BCRs will help establish vigorous data protection practices throughout the Company and meet the European standards of data protection processed by DocuSign through our core Signature service.
Only you and individuals authorized by your company have access to your documents. Your personal information stays private – even from DocuSign. There is no greater priority at DocuSign than the privacy and security of our customers’ information, data and documents.

Read about our top pointers to help you stay safe online.
DocuSign uses the latest innovations and industry knowledge to keep our customers safe, but it takes awareness and dedication from everyone involved to reach maximum security.
Remember: online safety starts with you, and you are the first and best line of defense in fighting online fraud. Learning how to identify and steer clear of phishing scams, social engineering attempts, and other types of online fraud is the best way to protect yourself and your information.
Here are a few tips to help get you started:
Create complex, unique passwords and keep them secure – don’t write down or share passwords, and be extra careful when using public or shared computers
Take IT precautions to protect against spam – keep your anti-virus software up-to-date, provide trainings on phishing and fraudulent activities, etc.
Be on the lookout for fraudulent emails and unsafe websites – proceed with caution when accessing unfamiliar emails and websites. Unrecognizable links, bad grammar and misspellings, and fake greetings can all be red flags that indicate a phishing email. For website safety, make sure “https” is in your browser address bar if you are entering any personal information.
