A simple electronic signature (EES) is suitable for documents and processes involving low legal or financial risk, where there is no legal requirement for the document to be in writing. Typical examples include internal approvals, confirmations, minutes, quotes, or simple agreements. It enables quick and straightforward signing but offers only limited assurance regarding the unambiguous identification of the signatory. The appropriate type of signature should therefore always be determined based on the specific use case. You can find an overview of EES, FES, and QES in our comparison of e-signature standards.
