Posted by Victoria Allen on Nov 9, 2021 10:05:58 AM

In this blog, we discuss the Nordic collaboration between TietoEVRY and Buypass and how they ensure secure signatures throughout Europe using Ascertia technology.

In Europe, there is now a huge increase in demand for protecting business documents with state of the art security technologies and the ability to sign them remotely in a way which is legally compliant with the different nations.


Who is Buypass?

Buypass is a Norwegian company located in Oslo, specialising in digital identity and payment solutions. They are also a strong promoter of technologies such as eSeals and eIDAS-compliant signatures. For over 20 years, Buypass has been a supplier to businesses, the public sector and citizens, complying with the strictest security requirements in the region.

As a QTSP with full AATL and EUTL certification, Buypass has utilised the Cloud Signature Consortium protocol to provide qualified electronic seals-as-a-service, removing the need for end customers to have their own HSMs (hardware security module),

Ascertia’s partner community is an integral part of Ascertia’s continued success. This is demonstrated by our collaboration on this project with long-standing partner TietoEVRY, which previously integrated SigningHub into its technology stack.
