TSP (Trust Service Provider)
A TSP (Trust Service Provider) is an organization that provides digital trust services under the eIDAS Regulation. This includes issuing digital certificates, timestamping, and validating e-signatures.
What is a TSP?
TSPs act as “digital notaries” in the European economy. To obtain “Qualified” status (Qualified TSP), an organization must undergo strict independent audits to ensure that its infrastructure and processes are secure and reliable.
Formify and Intesi Group
To guarantee the highest European security standards, Formify uses the same infrastructure as Adobe Sign in Europe. This is made possible through a partnership with Intesi Group in Italy, a leading certified Trust Service Provider. Through this partnership, Formify can deliver signatures that are fully compliant with the strictest EU requirements.
