Advanced Electronic Signatures via TrustFactory for South Africa

Advanced Electronic Signatures via TrustFactory for South Africa

Available in all paid plans

TrustFactory is a leading accredited trust services provider in South Africa, and is one of the two accredited authorities that issues Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) and standard Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL) digital signature certificates to signers for digitally signing documents. These digitally signed documents are legally valid under the South African Electronic Communications and Transactions (ECT) Act No 25 of 2002 and the Accreditation Regulations, and are compliant under the standards set by South African Accreditation Authority.
Note:
  1. This can only be used by users that have been associated with the integration by the administrator of the Zoho Sign organization.
  2. All associated users must have successfully configured this integration by registering with TrustFactory.
  3. No additional Zoho Sign credits will be consumed.
  4. As per the restrictions imposed by TrustFactory, users are permitted to sign 10,000 documents per certificate annually.



The integration can be split into three parts;
  1. Enabling the TrustFactory integration
  2. Configuring the TrustFactory integration
  3. Signing documents via TrustFactory
Please find a sample document signed with TrustFactory attached at the bottom.
