Evidency

What Evidency does

Evidency is a French Qualified Trust Service Provider (PSCo) that delivers digital evidence, document authentication, and long-term archiving solutions to regulated enterprises, legal teams, IT departments, e-commerce platforms, and software publishers. The company is headquartered in Paris, operates a 21-person team, and maintains offices in London, Milan, Madrid, Geneva, and Dubai, with services recognized across all 27 EU member states under the European eIDAS regulation. Its primary customers are organizations that need to prove the existence, integrity, and date certainty of digital documents for compliance, litigation, audit, and fraud-prevention purposes, including named customer Postclic, a registered digital mail provider.

The product portfolio centers on three core services: qualified electronic timestamping (Horodatage qualifié), electronic sealing (Cachet électronique), and electronic archiving (Archivage électronique), plus an online notarisation module (Constat en ligne). All services are delivered through a unified REST API (v3.0) with documented production, sandbox, and Constat environments, supported by a public-facing timestamp token verification tool. The infrastructure uses cryptographic hash functions (SHA-256), UTC-synchronized time sources, and qualified digital signatures from a certified trust provider. The archiving system is ISO 27001-certified, supports PDF/A, XML, JSON, and CSV formats, and enforces documented metadata constraints. Evidency operates as a brand within the APP Solutions group.

Evidency generates revenue primarily through flat-rate subscriptions for its API-delivered trust services, supplemented by expert advisory and integration services. The go-to-market is API-first and enterprise field sales, with self-service developer onboarding via a sandbox, in-depth multi-language documentation (French, English, Italian, Spanish), and a content-led marketing approach targeting legal, compliance, and IT buyers. Customer acquisition is supported by SEO-optimized blog content, white papers, and direct demo booking via HubSpot. The company has no disclosed channel partners, no listed resellers, and no public pricing; specific pricing is obtained through direct sales engagement.
