We seal, you verify.

When everyone has signed, Evidona seals the document (SHA-256) and produces a sealed evidence bundle with a public QR verification link.

Capabilities

Everything you’d expect — and a few things you wouldn’t.

SES & AES signatures

Two signature levels on one platform — from simple to advanced electronic signatures.

Data residency in Germany (EU)

Hosted in data centres in Germany (EU). One-time codes are delivered via third-party email/SMS providers, so contact details may be processed outside the EU.

OTP-verified signatures

Every signature is confirmed with a one-time code over email or SMS — with a 5-minute signing window.

Visual signature placement

Drag and drop signature, initial, and date fields to the exact spot on the PDF.

Sealed evidence bundles

Sealed and write-protected after completion, verifiable via a public QR code with no login.

Workflows, teams & audit trail

Multi-tenant organisations, roles, guest signing, and a complete, tamper-evident audit trail.

Signature levels · SES & AES

Two levels of electronic signature.

Pick the level that fits the transaction — from simple to advanced electronic signatures. Both on the same platform.

Level 01
SES
Simple Electronic Signature
Click-to-sign with OTP verification. Fast, frictionless, and sufficient for most day-to-day agreements.
  • Email or SMS OTP
  • Tamper-evident audit trail
  • Sealed evidence bundle
Use for — internal approvals, simple agreements, low-risk documents.

QES (qualified electronic signature) is on the roadmap. Note: only QES is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature where the law explicitly requires that form.

Security & residency

FAQ

Questions we hear most.

Something not covered? Email our team here.

Is an Evidona signature legally valid in Switzerland?

Under the Swiss Code of Obligations (CO Art. 14/14a), contracts are valid without a prescribed form in most cases, so an electronic signature such as SES or AES is sufficient for many business agreements. SES and AES are not certified signature types. Only the qualified electronic signature (QES) is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature where the law explicitly requires written form; Evidona does not currently offer QES.

What is the difference between SES and AES?

SES is a simple electronic signature (click plus OTP verification via email or SMS). AES uses the same OTP verification but is additionally bound to a registered, authenticated Evidona account, uniquely linking it to that account holder. Both levels detect subsequent changes to the document via SHA-256 hashes.

Where is my data stored?

In data centres in Germany (EU). Signed documents and audit data are stored there. To deliver one-time codes we use third-party email/SMS providers, so contact details (email address, phone number) may be processed outside the EU.

What is an evidence bundle?

A sealed, write-protected package of the signed document, audit trail, and integrity hashes. It can be verified at any time via a public QR link with no login.

Can guests sign without an account?

Yes. Invited people sign via a secure link and verify with an OTP — no account required.

Can I sign on behalf of another person?

Yes. Evidona supports signing on behalf of another person and can deliver the finished document to additional recipients.
