Revenue model

1. Digital Certificate Sales (e-CPF, e-CNPJ): One-time license sales of digital certificates (A1 installed on computer, A3 on token/card, A3 in cloud) with validity periods of 12 or 30 months. Revenue is generated per certificate issuance and renewal. Certificates for individuals (e-CPF) and legal entities (e-CNPJ) are sold alongside specialized variants for accountants, lawyers, doctors, dentists, and financial market professionals.
2. Certificate Renewal and Portability: Renewal fees for certificates within their validity period (including cross-issuer renewals), and porting/transfer fees for certificates moving from other certifying authorities to Certisign. Valid certificates can be renewed online without re-validation under certain conditions.
3. Cryptographic Media Accessories (Token, Card, Reader): Sale of hardware cryptographic storage devices (tokens, smart cards) and card readers needed to store and use A3-class digital certificates.
4. iZiSign Electronic Signature Platform: Subscription-based SaaS platform for document signing and management with legal validity, including a free trial option for new users.
5. SSL/TLS Certificate Sales: Sale of SSL/TLS certificates for websites (DV, OV, EV, Wildcard tiers) providing data encryption and authentication for e-commerce, blogs, and enterprise platforms.
6. Partner Referral Commissions (CertisignClub): Commission revenue generated through the CertisignClub partner network, where referring partners (primarily accountants) earn a cut on each certificate sale or renewal they generate.
