Zurich-based Swiss e-signature platform with dual ZertES + eIDAS QES via Swisscom partnership; ISO 27001, 4,000+ DACH customers.
Skribble, in the E-signature category, is an EU-owned service with Switzerland as its hosting location and no identified CLOUD Act exposure.
Skribble is a Zurich-based Swiss e-signature platform that uniquely covers both ZertES (the Swiss Federal Act on Electronic Signatures) AND eIDAS (the EU regulation) for Qualified Electronic Signatures via its partnership with Swisscom AG, the qualified-certificate issuer that anchors the QES infrastructure. ISO 9001 + ISO 27001 certified, GDPR + DSGVO compliant, serving 4,000+ companies in DACH (Germany / Austria / Switzerland). Swiss legal entity + EU adequacy decision + Swisscom QTSP backbone with no CLOUD Act exposure and a public DPA; the dual-bar ZertES + eIDAS coverage is the directory's strongest cross-jurisdiction QES capability for buyers operating across CH and EU.
How exposed customer data is to US authorities under the CLOUD Act (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data Act).

Skribble is a Zurich-headquartered Swiss e-signature platform that distinguishes itself in the QES market by uniquely covering both Swiss ZertES and EU eIDAS qualified-signature regulations under a single platform. Founded around 2018 with focus on the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), the company has scaled to 4,000+ corporate customers and built its QES capabilities on a partnership with Swisscom AG, the Swiss federal-recognised Qualified Trust Service Provider that issues the underlying qualified certificates conforming to both ZertES (the Swiss Federal Act on Electronic Signatures) and eIDAS (the EU regulation). This dual-bar coverage matters because Switzerland and the EU are separate jurisdictions with no automatic mutual recognition of qualified signatures; a Swiss-only or EU-only QTSP can leave one half of a DACH transaction legally exposed, while Skribble's Swisscom-anchored stack delivers QES that is fully binding under both regimes.
Compliance posture is procurement-grade: ISO 9001 + ISO 27001 certified at the company level, GDPR + DSGVO compliant, Swiss federal legal-validity coverage under ZertES via Swisscom-issued certificates. The platform handles identity verification (video-ident, qualified e-ID, GwG / FATF-aligned KYC for higher signature tiers), signing workflows (Simple, Advanced, Qualified electronic signatures), and audit-trail packaging. Switzerland holds an EU adequacy decision under Art. 45 GDPR so cross-border EU↔CH transfers require no SCCs.
Pricing is enterprise / tier-based with monthly per-user and per-document pricing; specific entry-tier EUR figures were not captured at audit. Best fit: DACH companies with material cross-border CH↔EU contracting flows (Swiss banks contracting EU customers, EU insurers signing Swiss policy-holders, Swiss-EU joint ventures, dual-jurisdiction employment contracts), companies in regulated industries needing QES under either ZertES or eIDAS, and any organisation that values having Swisscom-issued qualified certificates as the trust anchor. Procurement-grade EU-only buyers operating purely inside the EU may prefer Yousign (France, ANSSI-supervised) or the Signaturit / Namirial group (though the latter is US-private-equity-owned since 2025 and hosted at rest on AWS, so cloud_act_exposure: material), but for any DACH workflow Skribble's dual-regime QES is structurally differentiated.
