Confidential and independent

Why sovereignty is more than just a buzzword

“Who actually has access to our confidential documents?” IT, legal and product teams rightly ask themselves this question – especially in the context of international cloud providers.

With Certifaction, you say no to US data laws and yes to European sovereignty.

Zero document knowledge thanks to local processing solution

Only a hash value is transmitted - if password protection is activated, your documents are also end-to-end encrypted. This means that content remains exclusively between you and the signatories.

  • Certifaction has no access to the documents to be signed
  • End-to-end encryption of digital archives

Hybrid model

All the advantages of an on-premise solution - without the costs

This table compares two deployment models: "On-Premise" and "Hybrid Solution" in four technical categories: Infrastructure, Components, Data/Storage and Keys/HSM. Line 1 - On-premise solution: Infrastructure: Requires hardware or dedicated servers. Components: Multiple components that require maintenance and protection. Data/storage: Requires maintenance of databases and storage volumes. Key/HSM: Setup and maintenance recommended. Line 2 - Hybrid solution: Infrastructure: No or any infrastructure required. Components: Only one stateless internal component required. Data/storage: No storage required; storage component is optional. Key/HSM: No storage of keys or HSM components.

FAQs

Our answers to the most frequently asked questions

Yes. Our eSignatures are legally valid and support all major global standards (incl. eIDAS, ZertES, UETA, ESIGN).

In addition, you can choose the signature type that suits you best: from the cost-effective simple eSignature to the qualified eSignature (QES).

Unlike most competing providers, Certifaction offers the option of signing documents without ever seeing their content. The documents are processed locally on the customer side and encrypted when using the web app.

In the case of API integration, a local gateway takes over the encryption. In the event of a hack, the file would therefore be encrypted and unreadable. We also ensure that the documents are stored on ISO 27001-certified servers in Switzerland or an EU country.

Yes, Certifaction offers a customised white label option for partners. This enables the seamless integration of own products such as eIDs and certificates. The white label solution gives partners complete control over the platform. As an integration partner, we help open up new revenue streams and maximise business potential by providing tailored solutions for individual needs.

The Certifaction WebApp can be used immediately in the browser. The eSignature solution can also be integrated quickly via an API connection. Alternatively, the solution can be used as a white label product with full personalisation. Depending on the requirements, this is ready within a few weeks.

Certifaction is a hybrid solution without a complex infrastructure. The connection is established via API or by installing the CLI client. This makes our eSignature solution more flexible and cost-effective than a solution that is operated in your own data centre.

Certifaction is characterised by its innovative technology and clear focus on partnerships. Our customers value us as a trustworthy European partner that not only offers close cooperation and the highest security standards, but also enables the integration of its own products through white label solutions. This opens up new business opportunities and additional revenue streams for our partners. Our solution offers:
