Choosing an electronic signature provider is not easy, which is why we decided to offer you a list of criteria to take into account during your search.

‍

#1 Legal protection

In order for the electronic signature that you have just sent to your customer to be recognized by the State and therefore legally valid, it must meet a few specific criteria. These criteria are set by the European Union thanks to the Ei.das regulation and you can find certified French and European service providers in Trusted List set up by the EU.

‍

#2 RGPD security

To create your electronic signatures, confidential customer data such as name and surname, email address, telephone number and IP address will be collected, processed and stored. You must then make sure that the electronic signature software you use is:

  • Complies with the GDPR across the entire spectrum of its activities.
  • Guarantee the confidentiality of documents and information processed and hosted on its servers and those of its subcontractors.

‍

#3 Encrypting information

Know that a solution that encrypts your information allows you greater security of your data. Hosting on servers located in France also provides an additional level of security to exchanges.

‍

#4 Identification of signatories

If you want your new electronic signature solution to reach a large audience in your company, you should choose a solution that can be used with any of your customers, regardless of their constraints. To do this, you need to focus on solutions that offer you several authentication choices (email, mobile phone, fixed phone, identity card, etc.) in order to be able to adapt yourself in all situations.

‍

#5 Responses to daily needs

If you want to choose the solution that best suits you, you still need to know what you need. Here are a few questions that can get you started on your thinking:

  • How many users are going to use this solution?
  • What type of document will I send?
  • How many documents will I send per year?
  • What functionalities am I looking for?
  • What price am I prepared to put into the solution?

‍

#6 Integration with business tools

Some solutions can be integrated into your business tools, this allows you to facilitate the adoption of a new solution in your company since your users will not need to release software that they already master.

‍

#7 Accessibility

To free yourself from all the problems associated with the use of your new electronic signature solution, choose a solution available on all types of devices and all operating systems.

‍

#8 User experience

When you make the choice to integrate a new solution within teams, the adoption of this solution can be a real challenge. A fluid and intuitive solution allows you to ensure that your users get started more quickly. Feel free to test solutions that offer free trials to make sure you are comfortable with the interface and use.
