Skribble, Swisscom Sign, DeepSign, and DocuSign pursue different approaches. Skribble stands for particularly easy use without barriers for signers – combined with data processing in Switzerland and Germany and a strong integration into existing business workflows. Swisscom Sign focuses heavily on secure signature and identification processes. DeepSign is also strongly rooted in Switzerland and primarily targets organizations focused on the Swiss market.

Skribble in comparison: Frequently asked questions

Yes. With Skribble, you can sign documents electronically and legally with SES, AES, or QES in accordance with ZertES and eIDAS. All three signature standards are integrated into one solution and do not require additional providers.

That depends on the use case:

  • SES for simple documents without formal requirements
  • AES for business documents with increased requirements
  • QES for contracts with high legal requirements (e.g., loan agreements)

With Skribble, you can flexibly use all three signature standards on one platform.

No. Documents can be signed with Skribble without registration. This reduces barriers for your signers and speeds up the completion process.

Depending on the type of signature, verification is carried out through:

  • Email address (SES)
  • Mobile number (AES)
  • Online identification via ID scan and selfie video (QES)

The identification takes place directly via Skribble.

Data processing takes place optionally in Switzerland or Germany and in accordance with GDPR, ZertES, and eIDAS. Our servers are operated at bank-level standards in Switzerland and Germany and are ISO 27001 certified.
