Skribble
EFTA verifiedSwiss e-signature for all levels under eIDAS and ZertES – QES via Swisscom/A-Trust, data in Switzerland to banking standards.
Skribble is a Swiss signing service from Zurich (with a site in Karlsruhe) covering all signature levels under EU law (eIDAS) and Swiss law (ZertES): simple (SES), advanced (AES) and qualified (QES) signatures. Skribble is not itself a trust service provider, but works with recognised certification authorities – Swisscom Trust Services (recognised under EU and Swiss law) and A-Trust (EU) – so legally valid QES are possible. Data is hosted in Switzerland to banking standards; processing complies with the GDPR and the Swiss FADP. For German-speaking markets, Skribble is a particularly easy-to-use, sovereign alternative to DocuSign.
