Quel niveau de signature choisir ?

Le règlement eIDAS définit trois niveaux de signature électronique. Certyneo les couvre tous les trois et adapte l'authentification au niveau requis.

Simple (SES)

Pour les documents à faible enjeu (devis, bons de commande). Mise en place immédiate.

Avancée (AES)

Liée au signataire via OTP e-mail/SMS et audit trail. Standard recommandé pour la plupart des contrats.

Niveau recommandé pour ce secteur

Qualifiée (QES)

Équivalent juridique de la signature manuscrite, avec certificat qualifié. Pour les actes les plus sensibles.

Service contracts are form-free — the advanced signature (AES) offers the best balance of evidence and speed. Copyright assignments must be in writing and signed (CDPA 1988, s. 90(3)), which an electronic signature satisfies.

Copyright assignment must be in writing (CDPA 1988, s. 90(3))
