Sign legally — from Austria too
actaSIGN is the eIDAS-compliant signature platform for Austrian businesses. All three signature qualities (EES, AES, QES), Swiss data security and seamless DMS integration.
Why Austrian businesses choose actaSIGN
Legal certainty, data protection and easy integration — actaSIGN combines everything in one platform.
Legally valid under eIDAS and SVG
actaSIGN supports all three eIDAS signature qualities. In Austria, the Signaturverordnung (SVG) and the E-Government Act complement the EU framework. QES is equivalent to a handwritten signature.
Cross-border signing
Sign contracts between Austrian and Swiss companies seamlessly. Swisscom Trust Services is on the EU Trust List.
Swiss data sovereignty
Your data stays in Switzerland — Europe's most secure data location. No AWS, no Azure, no Google Cloud. ISO 27001 certified data centre.
DMS integration for the Austrian market
actaSIGN integrates seamlessly with document management systems. Our partners Kendox and docuvita offer ready-made integrations for the Austrian market.
Legal framework for electronic signatures in Austria
As an EU member state, Austria is subject to the eIDAS Regulation. National provisions like the SVG and the E-Government Act complement the framework.
eIDAS Regulation
The eIDAS Regulation defines three signature qualities and applies directly in all EU member states. It ensures cross-border recognition of electronic signatures.
SVG — Signaturverordnung
The Austrian Signaturverordnung (SVG) and the Signature Act (SigG) govern the national implementation of trust services. The RTR (Rundfunk und Telekom Regulierungs-GmbH) is the competent supervisory authority.
Freedom of form in Austrian law
Austrian law generally provides freedom of form. Most contracts can be concluded with EES or AES. For contracts with statutory written form requirements (e.g. under ABGB), QES is the legally secure solution.
