Its range includes qualified electronic signatures in several forms (remote signing, smart card, USB key and the InfoCert Sign app), qualified electronic seals, timestamps, certified email (PEC Legalmail), SPID digital identity, electronic invoicing, digital preservation, and onboarding and KYC tooling. Most offerings are delivered as hosted online services.

InfoCert S.p.A. is headquartered in Rome and is directed and coordinated by the Italian group Tinexta, where it leads the Digital Trust business unit. The site names Tinexta as the parent and mentions no non-European parent. The company states that all its data centres are located in Europe. No open-source or self-hosted variant is described. For a European organisation that needs qualified signatures or certified email under eIDAS, InfoCert is a trust service provider operating under European jurisdiction.

Why digital sovereignty matters with InfoCert

InfoCert is headquartered in IT and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so InfoCert scores best on data residency.

InfoCert 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 InfoCert together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
