About Zoho Sign
Zoho Sign adds the EU's highest signature tier, one week after wiring itself to agents.
Zoho Sign is executing on two fronts that rarely appear together. One is jurisdictional depth: e-Stamping across India, Nafath in Saudi Arabia, legally binding signing for Colombia, signer identity verification across more than 200 countries, and now qualified electronic signatures for the EU through SIGN8. The other is workflow surface area — a SharePoint integration, a native Windows app, a sandbox for testing signature flows — with an MCP integration on top that puts the whole thing behind an AI agent.
