Adobe eSign isn’t built for data sovereignty, but we are.
Secure every document from draft to signature.
Adobe Acrobat Sign gets documents signed. Confidencial E-Sign keeps those documents secure, compliant, and always accessible. While Adobe hosts your agreements in its own cloud and is about to block access from mainland China, Confidencial installs inside your infrastructure with client-side encryption, full data ownership, and zero-trust enforcement.
-
Own your data – Documents are stored in your buckets, keys, and regions.
-
Deploy anywhere – Cloud, on-prem, or sovereign nodes, so regional blocks never stop business.
-
Automate compliance – Selective encryption and audit trails meet EO 14117, CISA, and industry mandates.
