CertEurope operates as a qualified trust service provider, specializing in digital solutions that guarantee the confidentiality and traceability of online exchanges. Founded in 2000 by members of the Chamber of Commerce, the company has established itself as a key Certification Authority in France. It provides services for electronic authentication, digital signatures, and data security, catering to a diverse client base that includes banks, regulated professions like lawyers and bailiffs, as well as industries, public administrations, and insurance companies.
The company's business model is centered on providing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions to secure dematerialized workflows. Revenue is generated through the sale of these digital trust services, which include electronic certificates, the GoSign electronic signature platform, and secure communication services. These products are designed to streamline client onboarding, reduce fraud risk, and enhance the efficiency of digital transactions. CertEurope offers various levels of security and its certificates comply with both French (RGS) and European (eIDAS) standards, ensuring legal validity for online procedures like responding to public tenders and signing official documents.
CertEurope’s history includes several significant milestones. In 2012, it was acquired by the Oodrive group, a European provider of cloud-based productivity solutions. This was followed by the acquisition of SSL Europe in 2017 to broaden its product portfolio. A major transformation occurred in 2021 when CertEurope was acquired by InfoCert, a subsidiary of the Tinexta Group, shifting its focus from a certification company to a broader software solutions provider. This integration allowed CertEurope to offer InfoCert's portfolio to the French market and expand its services to include digital identity and client onboarding solutions. The company is now positioned as the French trust service provider for the Tinexta InfoCert group.
