How Secure Is It to Sign Documents Digitally?

September 1, 2026

When important agreements and contracts need to be signed, security matters.

With the right solution, digital signing can provide strong security, clear traceability, and better control than many traditional signing processes.

With ECIT Sign, you can combine a simple signing experience with the right level of security for each document.

1. Verify who is signing

ECIT Sign supports electronic identification, including supported Nordic eIDs.

This makes it possible to link a signature to an identified person when a higher level of assurance is required.

ECIT Sign supports several signature levels, including SES, AES, and QES.

2. Get full traceability

With ECIT Sign, you can follow the signing process and see who has viewed, signed, or declined a document.

This gives you better visibility than manual workflows involving email, printing, and scanning.

3. Help protect the document after signing

Digital signing is about more than the signature itself.

ECIT Sign uses measures such as timestamps and digital seals to help protect the document and signing process against later changes.

4. Choose the right security level

Not every document requires the same type of signature.

With ECIT Sign, you can choose the appropriate signing level based on the document and the level of identity assurance required.

5. Security without unnecessary complexity

Strong security should still be easy to use.

With ECIT Sign, recipients can sign from mobile or desktop, while senders can track progress, use automatic reminders, and manage the entire process in one place.

So, is digital signing secure?

Yes — with the right solution.

ECIT Sign gives you a secure, traceable, and flexible signing process that is simple for both sender and recipient.

Secure signing does not have to be complicated.
