[AccessD] Signature Component

You have employee signatures (in our case) stored in a database.  That is on
a server somewhere that may be vulnerable.  To get stuff out of a file
cabinet, someone has to enter your office to get it, and it's likely you
know about it.  Someone could hack a database and retrieve unencrypted
signatures for all kinds of use, and the individuals involved might never
know it.  The culprit could even be someone within the company.  It may seem
like an overabundance of caution but corporations look like deep pockets and
they are prime targets for lawsuits over inadequate security when data is
compromised.  The idea was to not file a hard copy of the signed document at
all.
