1. A method for protecting data within a cloud-based service platform, the method comprising:
establishing a service session between a cloud computing system and a first client associated with an electronic document, the service session established in response to a service request received from the first client and in response to determining that the electronic document is not a sensitive document, the first client associated with an account on the cloud-based service platform;
in response to the electronic document becoming a sensitive document, switching from the cloud computing system to a local server system for use during a remainder of the service session; and
upon switching to the local server system, controlling a sequence of operations performed by the local server system to satisfy the service request received from the first client, wherein the sequence of operations includes requesting and receiving a digital or electronic signature on the electronic document from a signor identified within the service request.
