You rolled out Barracuda. Now get everyone to sign off on it.
A parallel-signing step for the acceptable-use policy or security-awareness acknowledgment that comes with a new security tool rollout.
Where this fits
- A new Barracuda deployment — email gateway, backup, or security awareness training — usually comes with a policy update that compliance wants everyone to formally acknowledge
- Barracuda's own console tells you about mail flow and threats, not who has actually signed off on the policy behind the rollout
- Chasing the last few holdouts after an org-wide rollout by email thread and spreadsheet wastes days IT doesn't have
Who uses this
- Teams running on Barracuda Networks
- Or anything similar — the signing step works the same regardless of which one you use
Why Docracy
Docracy runs as the attestation step right after a Barracuda rollout: send the updated acceptable-use policy or security-awareness acknowledgment to the whole org at once with parallel signing, and watch who's signed and who hasn't in real time instead of guessing from an inbox. For staff who aren't glued to email — warehouse, field, or shop-floor teams affected by a new backup or access policy — send the same acknowledgment over WhatsApp instead.
Security acknowledgment templates
Acceptable-use and code-of-conduct templates ready to send the moment a rollout finishes.
Org-wide parallel signing
Send the same acknowledgment to an entire team or department at once.
Live signed/unsigned tracking
See exactly who's acknowledged the new policy without chasing an email thread.
WhatsApp delivery for non-desk staff
Reach employees who don't check email as part of their job.
Docracy has no native Barracuda integration or console plugin — this is a standalone signing step you link to from your rollout communication, not something embedded in Barracuda itself.
Templates for this
Acceptable Use Policy Acknowledgment
A short cover document where a user confirms they've read and will comply with your Acceptable Use Policy.
Code of Conduct Acknowledgment
A signed record that an employee received, read, and agreed to follow the company's code of conduct.
Frequently asked questions
Do the people I send documents to need a Docracy account?
No — only the sender needs an account, so document history, saved templates, and team access have somewhere to live. Whoever's signing opens a link and signs, no signup required.
Which documents can I send?
Ready-made templates for this include Acceptable Use Policy Acknowledgment, Code of Conduct Acknowledgment. You can also upload your own PDF.
How much does it cost?
Free for documents with up to 2 signers. Beyond that it's a flat $10/month — never priced per seat — which also unlocks reusable templates, team accounts, and the integrations mentioned above.
How fast can someone actually sign?
Under a minute in most cases: they open the link, review the document, and sign — no account to create, no app to install. WhatsApp delivery adds a phone-bound PIN step for extra assurance when that matters.
What doesn't Docracy do here?
Docracy has no native Barracuda integration or console plugin — this is a standalone signing step you link to from your rollout communication, not something embedded in Barracuda itself.
