Ascertia’s ADSS SAM Appliance is the first Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD) that meets the new [eIDAS regulations](https://www.signinghub.com/eidas-regulation/) and ETSI/CEN standards of EN 419 241-1 and protection Profile EN 419241-2 with Sole Control Assurance Level 2. It delivers the highest levels of trust when creating [Qualified Remote Signatures](https://www.signinghub.com/eidas-remote-signing/) on behalf of Natural Persons and Natural Persons linked to Legal Entities.

Earlier this year the ADSS SAM Appliance became the first SAM to be [Common Criteria](https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org/products/index.cfm) EAL4+ certified as meeting the requirements of the ETSI/CEN EN 419 241-2 Protection Profile.

We have since received a [certificate of conformity](https://www.ocsi.gov.it/documenti/accertamenti/ascertia/ac_rda_eidas_adss_sam_60_v1.0.pdf) from OCSI as a QSCD for creating qualified electronic signatures and seals adhering to EU eIDAS regulation 910/2014.

The ADSS SAM Appliance is now included on the [European Commission’s listing of QSCDs](https://eidas.ec.europa.eu/efda/browse/notification/qscd-sscd).

> "To deliver another world-first with our ADSS SAM Appliance is a great achievement. The e-signature landscape is constantly evolving and ensuring that our products adhere to the latest regulations and standards is paramount for us and our customers.
> 
> "We are well-known for delivering high-trust products and we strive to be at the forefront of the industry in making this trust available via SigningHub to power a range of effective business solutions that require documents to be approved using Qualified Electronic Signatures.”
