Yousign
EU verifiedFrench eIDAS QTSP for electronic signatures – qualified signature (QES) directly from the provider, data in France on SecNumCloud.
Yousign is one of the leading European e-signature providers and a genuine, sovereign alternative to DocuSign. Unlike many competitors, Yousign is itself a qualified trust service provider (QTSP) on the EU Trusted List and can issue qualified electronic signatures (QES) – legally equivalent to a handwritten signature – directly. Data is hosted exclusively in France on SecNumCloud-certified infrastructure – France's highest sovereignty certification for cloud services – with an ANSSI security visa. Yousign offers simple (SES), advanced (AES) and qualified (QES) signatures, templates, signing workflows and an API for integration into your own processes.
Note on ownership: Yousign is a French e-signature provider from Caen (founded 2013) and itself a qualified trust service provider (QTSP) on the EU Trusted List, supervised by the French ANSSI. This means Yousign can issue qualified signatures (QES), seals and timestamps directly. Data is hosted exclusively in France on SecNumCloud-certified infrastructure (ANSSI security visa); the trust-service system is certified to ISO/IEC 27001.
