Data protection in the context of paperless exchanges becomes a real challenge for organizations. The budgetary problem between the search for "ever-cheaper" and the necessary investment to be allocated to digital security often leads to arbitration to the detriment of the organization. Indeed, how can we not ask ourselves the question of the durability of low-cost solutions, and  the underlying reasons which motivate the development of free offers for the deployment of "basic electronic certificates" offered by non-European suppliers and the impact real that these proposals can lead, in terms of management, insurance, responsibility and image?

The real question to be asked before making a decision, as we live in a strong competitive era, is a time when we want to know everything about each other, where the stakes on data - the most important substance of the world organization - are crucial in protecting B2B and B2C exchanges as well as in everything related to the protection of privacy while public or private platforms offer more and more sophisticated services, the real question is WHY?

WHY a free offer, WHY solutions proposed at costs that make an industrialist can objectively not guarantee the sustainability of the proposed services in the long term as its margins are low, WHY the public sector through its appeals mechanisms price-oriented offers as a major factor of decision often forces suppliers to deny quality or to cause competitive distortions that unbalance the market, WHY finally it would not be time to understand that by wanting to achieve savings  we manage too often to convince internally that the risks are much greater in terms of exposure than the necessary expenses related to the safeguarding and sustainability of an organization in all its meanings?

It is high time to take stock of these topics, to launch the necessary reflections necessary for a fair re-balancing of the actions to be taken. The same goes for the sovereignty and durability of European organizations as for the sector that accompanies them.

Both companies strongly believe that Europe needs to regain its digital sovereignty. SwissSign and BlueCerts aim to contribute to the protection of data and the security of electronic transactions, anywhere in the world.

«We are proud to have SwissSign as a strategic partner. The weak presence of European players in this strategically critical area is a cause for great concern. It is reasonable and wise to think carefully about our choices and to trust European technologies exclusively, whenever possible. We should take the time to think about long-term strategic behaviour and adopt a responsible attitude», says Jean-Marie Giraudon CEO of BlueCerts.

«We are thrilled that with BlueCerts we have won a partner that shares our vision and values and supports SwissSign in its international development strategy», explains Markus Venetz, SwissSign Group’s Chief Commercial Officer.
