Hello,
I am trying to record when someone signs and/or agrees to an online agreement. I figured this would be be done by creating a .txt file containing the information relevant to every unique signature instance, but after reading the above statements, it seems as though creating files is a major security compliance issue; but is it really an issue even if the file creation is all happening on the server side?

Does anyone know the standard for recording such information?

Thank you all for your time and consideration,

Peace and Love,
Mikeumus

Hello Mikeumus, welcome to Bytes!

The above statements were for files created locally, not on the server. Instead of text files, you should look into storing this information in a database.
