  Docusign is the one innovative platform you can trust with all of your agreements. We can help you modernise your entire agreement workflow, from negotiating agreements to collaborating on redlines to building easy-to-use web forms and beyond. 

  Signable can work for simple use cases but doesn’t have as many capabilities as the full Docusign platform.

  With Docusign, you can take advantage of a full suite of products to make your agreement processes smarter, easier and more trusted.

  Signable offers simple e-signatures but can’t help address the larger challenges organisations face with their agreement workflows.

• Is Docusign compliant with the UK eIDAS regulation?

  Docusign solutions enable you to electronically sign while meeting the requirements of eIDAS. eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) is an EU law that oversees electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the European Union’s internal market, including electronic signature transactions. Brexit has not had any material impact on the legal validity and admissibility of electronic signatures under UK law. Accordingly, Brexit did not adversely impact the use of e-signing platforms following the end of the Brexit transitional period in December 2020.

  This regulation defines two types of certificate-based signatures called Advanced and Qualified electronic signatures (or AES and QES), which require identity authentication before a digital certificate is issued.

  An electronic signature makes it fast, easy and simple to sign agreements and contracts. Docusign eSignature has been used in more than one billion transactions across over 180 countries to create legally enforceable agreements.
