PROBLEM

Axolex needed a secure, compliant, and Adobe recognized way to digitally sign documents on behalf of its users and organization. The solution had to be compatible with Denmark’s My ID (MitID) system and ensure the final documents were cryptographically sealed and tamper-proof.

SOLUTION

GlobalSign’s Digital Signing Service (DSS) proved to be an ideal solution as a cloud-based signing service that ensures secure, reliable document signing at scale.

Challenge

As Axolex expanded its digital services, it faced a growing need to ensure the authenticity and integrity of documents signed through its platform. The company wanted to:

  • Enable users to sign documents using Denmark’s MitID system.
  • Embed those user signatures into a final document.
  • Apply a cryptographic seal from Axolex to lock the document and prevent tampering.
  • Meet compliance expectations, particularly with European regulations like eIDAS without overcomplicating the user experience.
  • Solution Requirements

    Before selecting a provider, Axolex outlined several key requirements for their digital signing solution:

    • Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL) digital seals to ensure trust and visual validation in PDF viewers.
    • Developer-friendly onboarding, including sample code and clear documentation.
    • Scalability to support future customer growth.

    Solution

    After researching providers, Axolex selected GlobalSign for its AATL digital signing capabilities and compatibility with the MitID system. Using GlobalSign’s Digital Signing Service (DSS) and Atlas platform.
