Signicat Names TÜV Austria Sole CAB for eIDAS 2.0 Compliance

The company’s acquisition trail had left it with compliance assessments spread across multiple bodies in different European jurisdictions. That structure added administrative overhead and made it harder for customers in regulated sectors, primarily banking, insurance and financial services, to get a coherent picture of Signicat’s compliance posture across its full service catalogue.

The timing of the consolidation is not incidental. The revised eIDAS regulation, eIDAS 2.0, establishes the framework for the EU Digital Identity Wallet and places new conformity assessment obligations on trust service providers. Signicat is already a participant in several of the EU’s large-scale wallet pilots, including WE BUILD, Aptitude, NOBID and EWC. Operating under a single CAB simplifies the audit trail as wallet interoperability standards are formalised, and makes it easier to combine eIDAS assessments with adjacent certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.

Jon Ølnes, VP of digital Identity and regulation at Signicat, said the company ran a formal request-for-information process among its existing CABs before selecting TÜV Austria. “We decided to run an RFI among the CABs and TÜV Austria had the best solutions and services to consolidate the situation and for the changes ahead as EUDI Wallets are introduced across Europe.”

TÜV Austria already assessed Signicat’s identity proofing service, giving it an existing baseline of the company’s technical environment. The transition to single-CAB coverage will be phased to avoid gaps in continuous compliance, according to the company.

The consolidation reflects a broader maturation dynamic in the European digital identity sector. The European Commission has targeted adoption of an EU Digital Identity Wallet by 80 per cent of EU citizens by 2030, a target that is driving commercial demand for verifiable trust services and pushing providers to demonstrate audit-grade compliance at scale.
