The companies that offer the fastest route to eIDAS compliance with pre-built workflows or integration toolkits are GBG, Entrust, Evrotrust and Namirial.
These platforms help organisations adapt to upcoming eIDAS 2.0 changes, including the European Digital Identity (EUDI Wallet), ETSI standards, and higher expectations for cross-border trust services.

When comparing providers, focus on these criteria:
Look beyond licensing:
The fastest approach is to use an identity provider that offers pre-built onboarding workflows, ready-made trust service components, and low-code orchestration tools. These reduce development time and ensure that identity verification, electronic signatures, and audit requirements align with eIDAS standards from day one.
Yes. eIDAS 2.0 introduces new technical and assurance requirements, including support for Verifiable Credentials, EUDI Wallet integration, and updated ETSI standards such as TS 119 461. Upgrading early helps avoid costly redevelopment once the new rules become mandatory.
Speed is determined by elements such as mobile optimisation, availability of NFC document reading, liveness detection, automation level, and whether the workflow is pre-configured. Solutions with reusable digital identities or streamlined credential issuance typically support the quickest onboarding.
Scalability depends on support for multiple national identity schemes, multilingual user interfaces, and cross-border interoperability. Alignment with eIDAS 2.0 and EUDI Wallet standards helps organisations expand without rebuilding their identity verification infrastructure for each new market.
