About Us Certifaction: Privacy-first eSigning

The global leader in privacy-first eSigning

At a time when digital sovereignty has become a strategic necessity, Certifaction offers the ideal eSigning solution for organisations that want to digitise their workflows while retaining full control over their data.

Our unique selling point

Zero Document Knowledge

Zero Document Knowledge is at the centre of our value proposition: Certifaction guarantees the confidentiality of documents by processing and encrypting them locally. This keeps confidential information exactly where it belongs – with the authorised parties.

Certifaction’s technology uniquely combines the ease of use and scalability of a SaaS platform with the security strength of typical on-premises solutions – offering the best of both worlds.

Designed for enterprises, Certifaction is used in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, finance and the public sector – where data protection, compliance and sovereignty are critical.

Our Story

Redefining Trust in eSigning

Certifaction AG is an owner-managed company, backed by leading investors, headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, with a subsidiary in Munich, Germany. Since our founding in 2020, we’ve become synonymous with secure, privacy-first eSigning. By continuously innovating and exceeding customer expectations, we are helping shape the future of digital signatures.

When we decided to launch Certifaction, many said it was the worst possible timing — right at the onset of the global Covid health crisis. But we believed in our vision and moved forward with conviction: digitization should never come at the expense of digital sovereignty and privacy.

We started with two visionary customers who placed their trust in us. Their early support confirmed what we already knew: Zero Document Knowledge wasn’t just a feature — it was the critical element the eSigning industry had been missing.

We never set out to be just another eSigning provider. Yes, we entered the market with a fundamentally different approach: one that places privacy at its core. Today, we continue to raise the bar for secure digital transactions, delivering solutions that redefine what trust means in eSigning.

Our Culture

Striving to do what’s right every single day

Our culture is based on trust, personal responsibility and accountability. We believe that great ideas and innovation happen where people feel safe, respected and free.

We are committed to a positive work environment – one where every voice counts and everyone is encouraged to take initiative, contribute and grow. We trust our team members to take responsibility, make a meaningful contribution and challenge the status quo. This trust brings with it empowerment – the freedom to experiment, fail fast and learn continuously.

Open communication is a cornerstone of our collaboration. We value direct, respectful dialogue and give regular feedback – not only when things go wrong, but also to celebrate successes, encourage improvements and promote everyone’s development.

We are there for each other. You can rely on us – we listen carefully, speak honestly and act with integrity. In moments of success and challenge, we strive every day to do the right thing – for our team, our partners and our mission.
