What is the Simple Electronic Signature?
The Simple Electronic Signature (SES) is the most accessible form of electronic signature, recognised under the eIDAS Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 and equivalent frameworks in other jurisdictions. It links data in electronic form to a signed document and is used by the signatory to express agreement with its content, without requiring advanced identity verification or a qualified certificate.
How it works with Quantidia
Quantidia lets you send a document to one or more signers by email or link. Signers open it in any browser, review the content and confirm their consent with a click, a typed name, or a drawn signature. Every action is recorded in a detailed audit trail, including timestamps and IP address, so the process remains fully traceable.
When to use it
- Internal approvals and low-risk agreements
- Onboarding forms and general terms acceptance
- Purchase orders and low-value commercial agreements
- Any process where speed and simplicity matter more than a qualified identity check
Key benefits
- No installs or apps: signers only need a browser
- Fast turnaround, documents can be signed in minutes
- Full audit trail for every signature event
- Easy to combine with Advanced or Digital Signature when a transaction requires stronger legal assurance
