eSignature Built Into Your CLM — Sign Contracts Without Switching Tools
ContractControl eSignature is built with SimpleSign, our own eSignature product and one of the Nordic region's most trusted signing engines since 2012. Unlike standalone eSignature tools that require manual upload and download, ContractControl eSignature is built directly into the contract workflow — contracts move from negotiation to signing in one click, with all metadata, obligations, and parties already populated.
eSignature is part of the ContractControl CLM platform. See our full eID integration coverage for BankID, MitID, and 30+ additional electronic identity providers across the Nordics and Europe.
What makes CLM-integrated eSignature different?
Standalone eSignature tools solve one problem: getting a signature on a document. But they create a gap: the signed document has to be manually saved, filed, and tracked. ContractControl eSignature closes that gap. When a contract is signed, it is automatically stored in the contract repository, obligations are extracted and tracked, and renewal reminders are set — all without manual work.

Frequently asked questions
Are eSignatures from ContractControl legally binding?
Yes. ContractControl eSignatures are compliant with the EU eIDAS regulation and are legally binding across all EU member states. Depending on the eID used, signatures can reach the Advanced (AES) or Qualified (QES) level, which carries the same legal weight as a handwritten signature.
Which eIDs does ContractControl support?
ContractControl supports BankID (Sweden and Norway), MitID (Denmark), the Finnish Trust Network, and 30+ additional electronic identity providers across the Nordics and Europe. It has the deepest eID coverage of any CLM platform in the Nordics.
What is the difference between AES and QES signatures?
An Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) is uniquely linked to the signer and detects any change to the document. A Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) adds identity verification through a qualified eID such as BankID or MitID, and is the only signature type that is legally equivalent to a handwritten signature under eIDAS.
Do I need a separate eSignature tool with ContractControl?
No. eSignature is built into ContractControl with SimpleSign, so contracts move from negotiation to signing in one click. There is no manual upload or download, and signed documents are automatically filed in the repository with obligations and renewal dates tracked.
