eID Easy is partnering up with Gestión de Seguridad Electrónica S.A. (GSA), Colombia’s top digital certification provider, to make secure digital signatures easier for businesses throughout Latin America to access. Together, we’re helping companies smoothly transition from paper-based processes to fully digital workflows, with secure signatures that meet all local legal standards.
This partnership will let businesses use GSE’s secure digital certificates through eID Easy’s platform, giving them access to reliable, legally compliant signatures they can trust.
Where GSE’s Secure Signatures Are Essential
GSE’s digital signatures comply with Law 527 of 1999 in Colombia, which establishes the parameters and general conditions for their use. This law regulates cases where an accredited digital signature is required, ensuring compliance with national standards for legal and evidentiary assurance.
GSE’s signatures are essential for:
- signing financial securities,
- legal contracts,
- certificates, and
- any electronic documents that must be verifiable and trustworthy.
By adhering to the regulations outlined in Law 527, GSE ensures that businesses have legally backed proof of the signatory’s identity. This guarantees that all parties interacting with or verifying these documents can trust their authenticity and legal validity.
Other Cases Where Digital Signatures Add Value
Even when a digital signature isn’t legally required, using GSE’s signatures can help build trust and confidence. They’re particularly helpful for international business agreements, where signatures give extra assurance that the information is authentic and coming from a reliable source. By choosing digital signatures in these cases, companies add a layer of integrity to the documents and boost confidence for all involved.
Getting Started with GSE Digital Signatures
For businesses and individuals new to GSE, onboarding is straightforward. Anyone without a GSE digital certificate can start the process online through the GSE Digital Certificates page, where they can quickly apply and get set up. Once onboarded, users can begin digitally signing documents, backed by the confidence that these signatures comply with Colombian regulations.
Backed by Colombia’s Top Certification Standards
As a recognized leader in Colombia’s digital certification space, GSE meets strict regulatory requirements and certifications. Accredited by Colombia’s National Accreditation Body (ONAC) under Law 527 of 1999, GSE’s signatures are compliant with national standards. GSE has over 15 years of experience and has issued more digital signatures than any other provider in Colombia. It’s also a member of the Cloud Signature Consortium, showing its commitment to meeting global standards.
Additionally, GSE stands out as the only Certification Authority (CA) in Colombia to offer digital signatures with both RSA and Elliptic Curve (ECDSA) algorithms. This includes support for time-stamped signatures, giving users more flexibility and confidence in the security and validity of their documents.
