1. A system comprising:
a first device comprising a processor; and
a memory that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising
obtaining, by the first device and from a second device comprising a first data storage location via a first secure network connection, an electronic document that is to be presented as part of a secure signing session,
obtaining, by the first device and from a third device, information associated with a signer that is to sign the electronic document during the secure signing session,
populating, by the first device, the electronic document with a signature field that is based on the information,
establishing, by the first device, the secure signing session, wherein the secure signing session is established via a second secure network connection between the first device and a computing device associated with the signer,
providing, to the computing device and via the second secure network connection, display data that corresponds to a display of the electronic document and the information, wherein a web browser executed by the computing device renders the display data in a user interface that comprises the display and a user interface option that is selectable at the computing device to effect digital signing of the electronic document at the first device,
in response to detecting selection of the user interface option, altering, at the first device, the electronic document and the information to obtain an altered version of the electronic document and the information, wherein the electronic document and the information are altered by adding, at the first device, an electronic signature to the electronic document, and
storing, by the first device, the altered version of the electronic document and the information, the altered version of the electronic document and the information comprising the electronic signature.
