QES Compliance in BoldSign

A QES is an advanced form of e-signature created by securing a signature with a qualified digital certificate issued by a qualified trust service provider (QTSP). It provides the highest level of security and legal assurance under the eIDAS regulation.

We use advanced cryptographic techniques and work with QTSPs to adhere to the standards set forth in the eIDAS regulation. This guarantees that all signed documents are legally binding and secure.

QES compliance is recognized in many jurisdictions, particularly within the European Union. Not all documents require a QES. While standard e-signatures may suffice for many transactions, a QES is necessary for certain legal documents like contracts, property transfers, and other agreements that require higher levels of security and assurance.

To allow QES in BoldSign, you’ll need to obtain a qualified digital certificate from a QTSP. BoldSign provides guidance and resources to help you choose a suitable provider for your needs.

BoldSign employs encryption at rest and in transit and maintains security protocols to protect your data during the signing process. This includes secure storage, data integrity checks, and secure transmission methods to ensure that your documents remain confidential.
