Certifaction is an electronic signature platform from Certifaction AG. It supports simple, advanced and qualified signatures (SES, AES, QES) under Swiss ZertES and EU eIDAS. Its defining feature is the Zero Document Knowledge principle: according to the vendor, documents are processed locally and, with password protection or through the API integration, encrypted before transmission, so Certifaction cannot view their content. Further features include team spaces, templates, roles, bulk signing, process history, filling in PDF forms, a white-label version and an API. The product is delivered as a web app and through the API.
The company is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, an EFTA country with an EU adequacy decision, and has a subsidiary in Munich, Germany. According to the vendor, you can choose where documents are stored: in data centres in the EU or Switzerland, or at your own premises. This makes a European or Swiss data location possible. The vendor states compliance with the GDPR and the revised Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection.
