QuoVadis is an X.509 certificate authority, a trusted third party which issues digital certificates for authentication and digital signatures as well as for TLS/SSL. QuoVadis is a Qualified Certification Services Provider in several countries. This means that QuoVadis is accredited by those countries to issue Qualified Certificates. Digital signatures created using those Qualified Certificates enjoy a special legal status.

QuoVadis’ accreditations include:

  • Qualified CSP in Netherlands granted by the Independent Post and Telecommunications Authority (OPTA), based on a certification by the British Standards Institute (BSI) using the TTP.NL Scheme for Certification Authorities.

  • WebTrust for Certification Authorities, WebTrust for Extended Validation, WebTrust for Baseline Requirements

    • QuoVadis has operations in Belgium, Bermuda, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

    The company was founded in 1999 with backing from a venture capital affiliate of the Zurich Financial Services Group. The company later underwent a management buyout and subsequent private equity investment from ABRY Partners.

    QuoVadis is a member of the CA/Browser Forum, and contributed to the creation of standards for the Extended Validation Certificate and the SSL Baseline Requirements.

    QuoVadis is an approved issuer for SuisseID, the Swiss voluntary national e-ID program.

    In Bermuda, the company's subsidiary QuoVadis Services is a leading provider of managed hosting and private cloud services.
