NOTARIUS INNOVATES WITH CANADA'S FIRST PROFESSIONAL CLOUD DIGITAL SIGNATURE

MONTREAL, Nov. 22, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - North America's leader in electronic document legal reliability for 26 years, Notarius is proud to launch the first professional cloud digital signature that meets the highest standards of compliance. Unique in Canada, CertifiO Cloud is an innovation that makes it easy to authenticate electronic documents requiring professional signatures or seals from any device—mobile, tablet or computer.

The CertifiO signature is issued by Notarius' professional associations or employer partners who certify the identity and professional affiliation of the signatory. Unlike others digital signatures, CertifiO Cloud is instantly recognized by all Adobe® tools and is hosted on a highly secure cloud infrastructure, one of the most reliable in the industry. Accessible through a web browser, it addresses the need for workflow flexibility, business process optimization, and the protection of the public in digital ecosystems.

"We believe that professionals and organizations should be able to practice digitally with the same rigour as before, but more efficiently, while meeting the highest compliance requirements. With CertifiO Cloud, North America's first multi-platform professional digital signature, we hope to facilitate the work of professionals and managers in the science, health, pharmacology, engineering and food sectors, among others. Professionals will now be able to authenticate documents at any time via any device, in a secure and compliant manner," says Patrick Drolet, Notarius' CEO.

Today, more than 50 professional associations as well as 4,000 private and public companies across Canada trust Notarius and have created over 50,000 active digital identities.

After more than five years of research and development at Notarius, the first multi-platform digital signature gives electronic documents greater integrity and security than those signed by hand. Therefore, a specialist, an elected official or a senior manager can sign anywhere, anytime and on any device connected to the Internet. Once affixed, the CertifiO Cloud signture ensures the integrity of the information contained in an electronic document and its authenticity.

"For example, if you receive an engineering plan, a contingency plan or an important document from an organization, you will certainly want to make sure that the person who signed it is actually entitled to practice his or her trade or is employed by the concerned organization. It is therefore necessary to ensure that the signatory is truly affiliated with his or her professional association or organization and this is what CertifiO Cloud enables. If a professional or an employee is no longer entitled to practice, his professional association or organization will revoke his CertifiO digital signature," adds Patrick Drolet.

Notarius is the only Canadian authority to issue trusted signatures across North America that are recognized by both Adobe® and Microsoft® and that meet the European eIDAS (electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) standards. In addition, the company is ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified. CertifiO Cloud meets the requirements of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) and Bill C-27, as well as those of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—CFR 21, Part 11.
