Scrive

Scrive through Canon IMS: e-signatures at every eIDAS level with identity verification, from a European Qualified Trust Service Provider.

Signatures that hold up under eIDAS

Scrive, based in Stockholm since 2010, is a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List. Its eSign platform covers all three eIDAS signature levels, from a simple internal approval to a qualified electronic signature with the same legal standing as a handwritten one, and builds identity verification with national eIDs into the signing flow.

The Process layer of the Canon Information Orchestration Framework

Canon organises information management in four movements: Capture, Content, Communicate and Process. Scrive works in the Process layer: signing becomes a controlled step inside the workflow, with the signed document and its evidence flowing straight back into your content platform.

The signature is part of the process, not a detour outside it.

Replace manual signing without disrupting the process

Printing, signing and scanning slows agreements down and loses track of versions. Scrive e-Signature replaces those steps with a controlled digital process that reduces delays, improves traceability and strengthens governance, for external agreements and internal approvals alike.

Every eIDAS level on one platform

The same platform handles a routine approval, an advanced signature and a qualified electronic signature. As a Qualified Trust Service Provider, Scrive issues qualified certificates itself, using short-lived certificates linked to national eIDs such as Swedish BankID, and also offers QES through partners such as Swisscom.

See how a contract goes out for a qualified signature and comes back into your document system with its evidence package, with a Canon IMS consultant.

Identity verification built into signing

Scrive supports national eIDs natively, including the Nordic BankIDs and Danish MitID, so the signer’s identity is verified as part of the signing step. Each signature produces a unique evidence package that proves the authenticity and integrity of the document.

Integrated where people already work

IRIS IMS and IRIS NL integrate Scrive into existing document management and automation environments, including iManage, so a document goes out for signature and returns to the right file without manual handling.

European by design

Scrive is GDPR-compliant with data protection by design. For organisations with strict sovereignty requirements, its Extended Compliance option hosts core services exclusively with European-owned, European-located providers.

Key benefits

Verified identity: National eIDs confirm who signed, with an evidence package for every signature.

Integrated workflow: Signing becomes a step inside your document and process landscape.

Where it fits

Scrive is our choice whenever a signature must be legally robust under eIDAS, especially qualified, and integrated into document management or workflow. For contract lifecycle management from draft to obligations, we combine signing with Therefore and contract management.

We propose what fits your process, not what we happen to sell.
