We will support you through the labyrinth of requirements and accompany you on your way to achieving the status of qualification.

What are electronic signatures?
An electronic signature serves as proof that an electronic document was signed by a natural person. The European eIDAS Regulation also defines advanced electronic signatures and qualified electronic signatures, which are relevant as signature forms for business transactions. They enable the signatory to be identified and are uniquely assigned to the signatory. A qualified electronic signature is also used if the written form is required by law. It has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.
