Electronic signature blog

Practical guides, eIDAS 2026 news and sector-specific use cases for adopting electronic signature in compliance.

What you will find in the Certyneo blog

The Certyneo blog publishes weekly practical analyses on electronic signature for HR, legal, commercial and financial teams. We break down eIDAS regulation and its application in France, compare major market solutions (DocuSign, Yousign, Adobe Sign), share anonymised experience feedback by sector (law firms, real estate agencies, accounting firms), and publish step-by-step guides for migrating or complying with GDPR. All articles cite their regulatory and technical sources and are reviewed by our legal team before publication.

Frequently asked questions on the Certyneo blog

How often are articles published?

One long-form article per business day (five per week), between 1,200 and 2,500 words, plus short news updates during major regulatory announcements (eIDAS updates, CJEU case law, CNIL opinions). The target pace is 100 to 130 articles published per quarter, covering all search intents flagged by HR, legal, and sales teams.

In which languages is the blog available?

Original content is published in French, then translated into our 82 interface languages (English, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Nordic, Slavic, Balkan, APAC, MENA). hreflang tags are emitted for the 48 routable locales, and each article keeps its identity (Strapi `document_id`) across languages.

How do you verify the legal information published?

Every article touching on the legal value of signature, eIDAS regulation, GDPR or a sectoral obligation is reviewed by our legal team before publication and cites its sources: Official Journal of the European Union, French Civil Code, CNIL opinions, CJEU decisions and ANSSI texts where applicable.

Are there categories to filter articles?

Yes. The blog offers a filter by category (eIDAS, HR, legal, real estate, comparisons, pricing, GDPR) accessible from the blog homepage. You can also browse our thematic clusters above, which group together content related to the same business topic.

How to be notified of new articles?

Three channels available: (1) subscription to the monthly newsletter via the form at the top of the page (summary of the best articles of the month); (2) public RSS feed at `/fr/blog/rss.xml` for RSS readers Feedly, NetNewsWire, etc.; (3) Certyneo LinkedIn account which relays major publications in real time.
