Clicksign: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Clicksign is an electronic and digital signature platform for documents, which its website describes as offering signatures with legal validity. The service runs as a cloud platform on AWS multi-availability-zone infrastructure, with TLS 1.3 encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest, according to the company. The website does not name the AWS region or country where customer data is stored. Clicksign states that it protects personal data in line with Brazil's LGPD and international privacy regulations, without naming the GDPR.

The operating company is Clicksign Gestão de Documentos S.A., with a postal address in Barueri, São Paulo state, Brazil, as shown on the company's website. The website mentions earlier venture investors but not who owns the company today, and it names no parent. Because the company is headquartered in Brazil, it is outside the EU and EEA. European organisations would need to check where data is stored, which transfer safeguards apply and how the GDPR applies before using the service for personal data of people in the EU.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Clicksign

Clicksign is headquartered in BR, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Clicksign hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

Clicksign is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Clicksign together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
