GlobalSign DSS passes 6 million signatures in June 2026

The month of June breaks the 6 million mark for GMO GlobalSign's Digital Signing Service ↗

What happened

• GMO GlobalSign reports DSS surpassed 6 million signatures for the first time in June 2026.
• DSS signature usage was 6,136,107 in June 2026, versus 4,624,412 in January 2025.
• Digital identities used for trusted signing within DSS reached 1,362,675 in June 2026.

Why it matters to Signicat

• DSS is a PKI-based signing competitor in electronic signing; the volume disclosure is a benchmark for market size in signing, not a direct threat to Signicat's brokering or wallet lines.

GlobalSign launches Verified Mark Certificates with Valimail DMARC partnership

Fortifying Brand Identity: GMO GlobalSign Introduces Verified Mark Certificates for Secure Email Authentication and Brand Trust ↗

What happened

• GMO GlobalSign launched its line of Verified Mark Certificates on June 4, 2025.
• GlobalSign announced a partnership with Valimail to enable customers to issue DMARC certificates.
• Under the VMC process, an organization's identity is verified, then a certificate is issued for its domain and logo, and recipient email clients display the logo.
• Using a VMC requires the company to possess a registered logo.

Why it matters to Signicat

• VMC and DMARC certificate issuance sits in email/brand trust, adjacent to Signicat's identity and trust-service lines rather than its core eID, IDV or signing products.

• GlobalSign states clients can now change the public key linked to their ACME account via ACME KeyChange.

Why it matters to Signicat

• ACME feature updates from a CA affect certificate automation, not Signicat's core eID, wallet or signing lines; direct overlap is low.

• GlobalSign and SigniFlow have worked together since 2015.

Why it matters to Signicat

• The integration is a Singapore national-scheme login inside an e-signing workflow, a route Signicat's signing and eID products do not cover in the supplied context for APAC.

Why it matters to Signicat

• Content concerns certificate lifecycle automation (TLS/PKI), which is outside Signicat's listed product lines of identity verification, authentication, e-signing, orchestration and AML screening; direct overlap is low.

• GlobalSign's PSD2 offering pairs a Qualified Certificate for Electronic Seals with a Qualified Website Authentication Certificate.
• GlobalSign states its PSD2 solutions are also available to non-EU banks and TPPs.

Why it matters to Signicat

• The PSD2 certificate offering targets banks and TPPs, a segment adjacent to Signicat's banking customers; the overlap is partial, as this release concerns certificates rather than identity verification.

What happened

• GlobalSign reports over 100 million timestamps generated since January 2023, including almost 70 million qualified timestamps.

Why it matters to Signicat

• Usage volumes are vendor-reported aggregates with no methodology, so they are not independently verified and do not indicate market share.
• Signicat's electronic signing line competes with GlobalSign DSS on signing and timestamping volume; the release gives no pricing or product-scope detail.

• The 18-month certification enables GMO GlobalSign to sell its Managed Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) offering throughout Texas.

Why it matters to Signicat

• Relevance to Signicat is low: the certification concerns US state cloud-security procurement for PKI, outside Signicat's core Nordic, Benelux, DACH, Iberia and UK markets.
