Viafirma: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Viafirma is a Spanish platform for electronic signature and digital certificate services. Its offer covers online electronic signature, unattended signature for automated processes, a digital certificate manager, time stamps and signature validation. The signature service works entirely online and is available through REST-based interfaces, so organisations can integrate signing into their own applications. The company states that it strictly complies with the eIDAS Regulation.

Viafirma is operated by Viavansi Corporación S.L., the entity that the website names as data controller for its contact form. The company traces its origins to a project started in 2000 under the name Viavansi. The website lists a central headquarters without naming a city, and offices in Madrid, Colombia and the Dominican Republic. It does not name a parent company or the location of customer data. For a European organisation, a Spanish provider is subject to EU law, but the hosting location and sub-processors should be requested from the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Viafirma

Viafirma is headquartered in ES 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 Viafirma scores best on data residency.

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