Unlock the benefits of becoming a QTSP – with our expert services

Discover how your company can benefit from becoming a QTSP and take full control of your digital trust services. In this post, we explore the advantages of becoming a QTSP and how we help businesses establish their own in-house trust services with expert support every step of the way.

In today’s digital world, trust is a critical factor in conducting secure online transactions. This is where Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) play an important role. A QTSP is a company that provides digital services like electronic signatures, electronic seals, timestamps, and certificates, ensuring that online interactions are secure and meet regulatory standards. These services are regulated under the eIDAS Regulation (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services), which standardizes electronic trust services across the EU and imposes strict requirements to ensure the highest level of security.

Most QTSPs primarily operate as trust service providers, offering their services to other businesses as their main function. (One such example is NetLock Ltd, the first QTSP in Hungary that our expert colleagues had successfully built from the ground up, providing us extensive experience in navigating the entire process.) Many enterprises rely on these QTSPs to handle their digital certification needs. 

However, businesses that have their own trust service needs can also become QTSPs themselves, integrating these services into their existing operations. This allows companies to issue certificates internally, providing them with greater control over their digital trust services.

But why should a business consider becoming a QTSP, given that it involves a complex process requiring time, investment, and expertise? The benefits can be significant for banks or large enterprises, for example. Banks can issue their own digital certificates for customer onboarding, eliminating the need to rely on external QTSP providers. This streamlines the process and can save both time and money. Similarly, large corporations that manage hundreds or thousands of employees can benefit from having in-house control over the digital certificates required for secure communications and document handling.

In response to this growing demand, we have developed a comprehensive service portfolio designed to help businesses achieve QTSP status. Our services simplify the process of becoming a QTSP by handling the technical and regulatory requirements for you. Whether your business is a bank, a large enterprise, or another organization requiring digital trust services, we provide the expertise needed to navigate the complexities of compliance.

We start by deploying the necessary infrastructure and integrating the required technologies into your existing systems if necessary. Once operational, we provide ongoing support to ensure compliance with any regulatory updates. We also tailor our solutions to fit your specific needs through various models, which we will discuss in detail in an upcoming post.
