The Cloud Signature Consortium is a nonprofit association of industry and academic organizations committed to building standards for cloud-based trust services that support web and mobile applications and comply with the most demanding electronic signature regulations in the world.
We provide an open technical specification that makes solutions interoperable and suitable for uniform adoption in the global market.
This effort was inspired by the need to meet the highest level requirements of the European Union’s Regulation on Identification and Trust Services (eIDAS), but its impact is global as demand for highly secure digital solutions continues to rise.

Open Identity Exchange (OIX) - building trust in online identity. OIX is a non-profit trade organisation of competitors across sectors e.g. the internet, data aggregation, telecommunications and government driving the expansion of existing online identity services and the adoption of new online products.

Efficiënt, betrouwbaar en eenvoudig online zaken doen tussen overheden en bedrijven en bedrijven onderling, met de authenticatie en autorisatie van eHerkenning.
eHerkenning is een initiatief van de Rijksoverheid voor veilig inloggen bij (overheids)organisaties, speciaal voor bedrijven. Ondernemers of medewerkers van een organisatie kunnen zich met één inlogmiddel veilig en eenvoudig online identificeren bij verschillende organisaties. Zij hoeven hierdoor niet steeds opnieuw wachtwoorden aan te vragen en te onthouden.
Bij de aanvraag van een inlogmiddel wordt iemands identiteit grondig gecheckt. Ook kunnen medewerkers gemachtigd worden om namens hun organisatie specifieke diensten te regelen. Dit zorgt ervoor dat een organisatie meer zekerheid krijgt over de online identiteit van de persoon waarmee zij zakendoen. Dit voorkomt fouten en fraude.
Anders dan bij DigiD is eHerkenning niet één technische voorziening. Het wordt geleverd door meerdere erkende leveranciers in een netwerk. Zij hebben samen met de overheid afspraken gemaakt over strenge eisen aan veiligheid, betrouwbaarheid en de bescherming van persoonlijke gegevens. De overheid beheert deze afspraken en controleert of ze nagekomen worden. Alleen private partijen die aan álle afspraken voldoen, mogen aan eHerkenning meedoen. eHerkenning is een publiek – private samenwerking en heeft daar een toepasselijke governance bij.

Our philosophy
Success does not just happen. We are working hard for it based on 4 core values that make us who we are: as authentic as our clients.
Our core values
We focus 100%
What defines our work? We want to give internet users back their privacy. That is the core of our business, the core of our existence. Too much personal details are available on the internet. We are bringing it back to one, safe place. To one, reliable online identity. This way you gain control over your own data. We focus on this. Purely and solely. With our full attention. So that we can excel in it.
We operate internationally
Every individual his online identity. That is our mission. For this purpose, we are building a scalable platform that is as international as the internet itself. With a unique digital passport you can use anywhere in the world. Safely and reliably. Logically we will focus further than just the Netherlands. You will find us in the United Kingdom. And behind the scenes where are also advising in multiple countries about the developments concerning digital identities. Call use involved across borders.
We put the user first
Nothing more personal than an online identity. The optimal personal experience of our service is then also a central point in our service. How do make the service even more safe, more easy – those are the questions we are continuously asking ourselves. The key factor is the protection of information, so we offer clients privacy and we gain trust. We use our user feedback, analytics and our UX Lab test results to gain happy clients. This way, our product sells itself.
We are raising the bar
We are working hard for the best possible result. Together we will decide how we will do that. We take and organise the area to realise our own ideas for it. In addition to this, we also take into consideration the interest of the entire industry. This means that we are rather an entrepreneur than an employee: we detect new opportunities and combine these.
