Summary
Headline
boldsign.com scores 68% (34/50 points on the items that could be checked) for midsize and enterprise buyer fit. That is the same score as the 2026-11-10 run. Pricing, integrations, the API and the core security facts are strong. A buying committee still hits these gaps:
- There's no "Book a demo" in the header, even though a demo page exists (/request-demo/).
- Uptime claims conflict across pages: 99.9% durability, 99.99% and 99.999%.
- Compliance and procurement documents are only in the Legal Center.
- The HIPAA and PCI DSS wording is inconsistent.
- Customer stories have no labels.
- There's no accessibility statement.
9 of 15 objections are fully answered where the objections file places them. The other 6 are partly answered, and none is missing.
Score
68 / 100. 3 of 28 items (S7.1, S8.1, S8.2) weren't checked and are left out of the denominator.
Top 3 actions
Reconcile the uptime and SLA claims, and publish the SLA as HTML linked from the security page. The pages say three things today:
- Security page: "99.9% durability over a year."
- Enterprise page body: "99.99% monthly uptime commitment."
- Enterprise FAQ, API page and Docusign-alternative page: "99.999%."
Tell product marketing today. (S1.3, objection 14)
Fix the compliance wording and build one trust and procurement hub off the security page.
- Wording: the Legal Center and /hipaa-overview/ say HIPAA "certified", but the same HIPAA page says "no official HIPAA certification". The homepage badge says "PCI DSS LEVEL 1", while the security page says card data is handled by Stripe.
- Hub: link the SOC 2 request form, HIPAA, DPA, sub-processors, SLA and responsible disclosure. Offer a security questionnaire, W-9 and MSA on request.
(S1.2, S2.2, objection 2)
Add "Book a demo" (→ /request-demo/) to the header, and add a company-size field to the contact form for routing. (S2.1, S2.4)

Not checked
- S7.1 Core Web Vitals: the PageSpeed Insights API returned HTTP 429 for both home and pricing. No Search Console MCP was connected for this run.
- S8.1 Keyboard navigation and focus: no interactive browser was available.
- S8.2 Contrast and alt text: no Lighthouse or axe was available, and PSI was rate-limited.
- Partly checked:
- SLA PDF: it loaded (HTTP 200), but its text couldn't be extracted, so its uptime and response-time figures weren't re-read this run.
- Pricing page: its FAQPage count (13) and JSON-LD prices came from a fetch summary, not raw markup.
- Legality page: the FAQPage check was truncated.
- Rich Results Test: not run.
- Compliance request form: the form is loaded by script and didn't render, so its fields weren't read.
- Mobile rendering: not audited.
- Logo permissions: can't be verified from the public site.
- Broken links: key paths only, not a full crawl.
Proposed changes (need approval)
None of these were made. All are website changes.
Reconcile the uptime figures and publish the SLA as an HTML page linked from security, pricing and enterprise (S1.3).
Correct the HIPAA and PCI DSS wording. Add a compliance block and a responsible-disclosure link to the security page (S1.1, S1.2).
Add "Book a demo" to the header (S2.1).
Build a procurement documents hub (S2.2).
Add a company-size field and routing to the contact form (S2.4).
Name SAML/OIDC and the admin activity log (S2.3). State cloud-only and add a data-flow diagram (S3.1, S3.4).
Pricing page:
- Fix the meta description and JSON-LD prices.
- Add terms, renewal and invoice links.
- Add a worked cost example.
- Clarify the PAYG FAQ.
- State the non-profit and trial eligibility.
(S4.1, S4.2, S4.4, S4.5)
Add customer story labels and filters, and midsize+ stories (S5.1, S5.2).
Add the missing FAQs and extend the FAQPage markup (S6.1, S6.2).
Publish an accessibility statement and VPAT (S8.3).
Repo follow-up (not edited in this run):
_reference/objections/boldsign.mdcan close several TODOs:- SOC 2 request link: https://boldsign.com/compliance-request-form/
- HIPAA page: https://boldsign.com/hipaa-overview/
- Migration proof: https://boldsign.com/docusign-alternative/
- Company page: https://boldsign.com/about-us/
Objection 14's uptime answer should wait until product marketing confirms the contractual figure.
