Scaling

Where applicable, we leverage auto-scaling and manual provisioning tailored to the requirements of each Nintex capability.

This responsibility includes working with the Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) group in developing company-wide security policies and guidelines, performing risk assessments, adherence to compliance initiatives, security related education and identifying the technical, administrative, or physical controls that should be in place to support the mission of information security.
Nintex is committed to maintaining the security of its cloud-based capabilities. To that end Nintex obtains external reviews, including SOC2 audits, of the majority of its cloud based products to ensure that there are controls in place protecting customer data.

Summary of the Positive Environmental Impacts of Electronic Signatures
Reduced paper consumption: Electronic signatures eliminate the need to print and mail paper documents. This can lead to significantly reduced paper consumption.
Reduced deforestation: Reduced paper consumption, in turn, saves the trees on our planet from being chopped down.
Reduced environmental imbalance: When trees remain intact, a lot of the devastating effects of deforestation are negated. Deforestation is a major environmental problem that contributes to climate change, soil erosion, and loss of biodiversity.
Reduced buildup of harmful gasses: Less paper usage means less paper production, which means fewer carbon emissions. Eliminating the need for documents to be transported via fossil fuel-consuming vehicles, or for people to travel in-person via such a vehicle to sign physical documents, further reduces emissions.
Therefore, using electronic signatures can be extremely beneficial for the environment in many ways.
