Compliance

The decision to use reliable signature services is never simply based on technological considerations or cost. When we are faced with processes with legal implications, such as that of signing informed consent forms in the healthcare sector, the processing of public records or the creation of employment contracts, a third and very important factor usually comes into play: responsibility.

The use of reliable providers to formalise important legal transactions naturally calls for legal certainty, neutrality assurance and accountability.

1. Legal security, understood as “the certainty of the law” is the assurance that there is a third party present, a specialist in the field who ensures that all procedures consistently comply with legal regulations.

2. Neutrality. In the digital world, the prevention of tampering can only be guaranteed by those who control the environment. It is therefore not advisable that any involved party controls this environment. Regulatory changes (such as the recent European eIDAS regulation) are increasingly leading us to the use of trusted third parties.

3. Responsibility. As well as neutrality and legal certainty, responsibility is also an incredibly valuable characteristic of the service. Accountability is intrinsically linked to the provision of services and it is this that gives it value.
