A New Era of Contract Signatures: Welcome DiliTrust Sign 

Until now, DiliTrust clients who needed electronic signatures could connect their preferred tool through the Dilistore Signature hub: DocuSign, Adobe Sign, YouSign, UniverSign. Users could sign documents from the Board Portal and Entity Management modules with an internal tool, but not connecting those modules to the DiliTrust e-Signature hub.

The platform was the orchestration layer, but the signature was handled somewhere else.

This is about to change with DiliTrust Sign, DiliTrust’s own native e-signature solution. The feature is built in-house, fully embedded in the platform, and will be available to all clients by default. With DiliTrust Sign, DiliTrust will no longer just connect clients to signature providers; it will also offer its own native e-signature solution.

How it works

DiliTrust Sign is designed to handle the full signing workflow without requiring users to leave the platform. Unlike third-party providers that process documents on their own infrastructure, DiliTrust Sign keeps the signing workflow within the DiliTrust platform, from the signing request to the Certificate of Completion.

What is included

  • Send a signing request: prepare a document, assign one or more signers, define the signing order, and send directly from DiliTrust.
  • Flexible authentication per signer: choose between a secure email link or a one-time password (OTP) sent by SMS, with the method set individually for each signer.
  • No account required for external signers: external parties receive a secure link by email and can sign without a DiliTrust account.
  • Realtime tracking: monitor each envelope’s status at every stage, from sending through completion.
  • Certificate of Completion: generated automatically at the end of each workflow. It records signer identity, timestamps, authentication method, IP address, and a document hash confirming that the file was not modified between sending and signing.
  • Cancel or reject a signature: signatories can reject a signature request at any point in the process. Administrators can cancel an in-progress signing workflow entirely. Both actions are controlled from within the platform.
  • Signature placement: define exactly where on the document each signatory needs to sign.

Previously, Board Portal and Legal Entity Management users weren’t able to decide on signature placement. This was one of the features most requested by clients, and it is now built into every signing workflow.

DiliTrust Sign operates at the Simple Electronic Signature (SES) level under the EU eIDAS Regulation. SES cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic, but the appropriate signature level depends on the document, jurisdiction, and applicable requirements.

Included in your tools at no extra charge

DiliTrust Sign is available to all clients by default. No activation step, no separate subscription, no configuration required. No separate subscription or activation step will be required. Once it launches, users will be able to send documents for signature directly from DiliTrust.

Other platforms have moved in the same direction, often making native signature a paid add-on or a separate module requiring activation. DiliTrust Sign is part of the platform at no extra charge.

For use cases that require a higher level of assurance, support for Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES) remains available through the DiliTrust e-Signature hub, which connects to certified third-party providers. This applies across all DiliTrust modules: clients using the Board Portal or Legal Entity Management can also connect their preferred provider through the hub for workflows that require AES.

DiliTrust Sign covers the daily signing needs; the hub covers the cases where AES is required.

DiliTrust Sign is coming to all DiliTrust modules in October 2026. To learn more about how it will fit your current setup, contact your customer success manager.

Frequently Asked Question About DiliTrust Sign and Electronic Signatures

Can DiliTrust customers continue using their preferred signing tool after DiliTrust Sign launches?

Yes. DiliTrust Sign adds a native option, while the DiliTrust e-Signature hub continues to connect supported external providers for customers who need an existing tool or a higher-assurance workflow such as AES. Provider availability and setup can vary by DiliTrust module.

When is Simple Electronic Signature sufficient for a European commercial document?

For routine commercial documents, SES may be sufficient, but the appropriate signature level depends on the document, jurisdiction, and applicable requirements. Under eIDAS, an electronic signature cannot be denied legal effect solely because it is electronic; teams needing higher assurance should assess an AES workflow through a certified provider.

What should a corporate secretary verify before sending a board resolution for electronic signature?

Before sending a board resolution, confirm the required signature level, signer identity and order, signature placement, and the evidence needed for the corporate record. DiliTrust Sign supports SES workflows with configurable authentication and a Certificate of Completion; if the resolution requires AES, use a connected provider through the hub.
