CapitalKey

6.2M documents in custody/1.4M signatures executed/AES-256

Custody for documents
that matter.

A sealed vault with a signing desk attached. Deposit a document, release it with a key that expires, execute it in place when it has to be signed — and keep a hash-chained record that survives any audit.

K/02 — Custody chain

A folder holds a file.
A lock holds a position.

Everything CapitalKey does happens in three moves — and the key only ever turns twice.

  1. 01

    Deposit

    Drop a document into the vault. It is encrypted on arrival, versioned, checksummed, and filed against the matter or counterparty it belongs to. Nothing leaves as an attachment again.

    AES-256 · versioned · checksummed

  2. 02First turn

    Release

    Cut a key for exactly one person and exactly one document or folder. View or download, for a set number of days, revocable the second you change your mind.

    Named · time-boxed · revocable

  3. 03Second turn

    Execute

    When a document has to be signed, it is signed where it sits. The signer never receives a copy — they receive a key. What comes back is an executed original and a certificate.

K/03 — Capabilities

Six things a folder cannot do.

Every capability exists to answer one question an auditor, a regulator, or a counterparty will eventually ask: who had this, and when.

  • K/01

    Access keys, not links

    A key is issued to a named person for one document or folder, with a permission and an expiry. There is no shareable URL to forward, and revoking is instant.

  • K/02

    Execution in place

    Send a signature packet and the document stays in the vault. The signer opens it under their key, signs, and the executed original never becomes an email attachment.

  • K/03

    Hash-chained ledger

    Every deposit, view, download, key, and signature is written to an append-only ledger where each entry carries the hash of the one before it. Gaps are visible by construction.

  • K/04

    Intake requests

    Ask a counterparty for documents with a single secure request. What they upload lands in the right folder, tagged and logged, without touching your inbox.

  • K/05

    Retention and legal hold

    Set a retention schedule per folder and freeze anything under hold. Disposition happens on schedule, is logged, and is defensible when someone asks who deleted what.

  • K/06

    Nothing left behind

    No public objects, no permanent download links, no copies scattered through mailboxes. When a key expires, access ends — including for anything already opened.

K/04 — Security

Six pins. One line.
Then it turns.

A cylinder opens only when every pin sits on the shear line at once. Custody works the same way: identity, permission, expiry, and the record all have to agree before a document moves. If one is off, nothing turns.

CYL · 6-PIN · SHEAR ALIGNED
Tenancy
Every row scoped to one organization. No shared buckets, no cross-tenant reads, enforced in the database rather than the application.
Keys
Short-lived signed URLs minted per open. Nothing in the vault is a public object, and an expired key cannot re-open a document already viewed.
Ledger
Append-only and hash-chained. A removed or edited entry breaks the chain at the next hash, which is what makes the export worth showing an examiner.
Custody
AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, per-organization key separation, and an on-premises key option on Enterprise.

Sample entries. In a live vault every row is written by the service role only, and no seat — including the owner's — can edit or delete one.

K/05 — Execution desk

Signing is the second turn — not a second product.

Step one

Cut the key before you send anything

Pick the document, the signer, and how long their access lives. Nothing is emailed — the signer receives a key to a document that never leaves the vault.

K/07 — On the record

What people say once the key has turned a few hundred times.

Questions

The eight we are asked first.

Anything else — including security review packets and DPAs — comes back the same day from a person, not a form letter.

  • In encrypted object storage scoped to your organization, in the United States. Objects are never public: each open mints a short-lived signed URL tied to a valid access key, and expired keys cannot re-open a document even if it was viewed before.

Open a vault

Give it a lock, not a folder.

Set up takes an afternoon. Your first deposit, first key, and first executed signature all land in the same ledger, and it starts on the day you sign up — not the day you migrate.
