ZorroSign’s Dubai Roots Help Grow International Business

I wanted to share a little history of how ZorroSign’s early roots in Dubai have helped us grow into an international company.

My family has called Dubai our home for the last 55 years, and as a U.S. citizen residing in Dubai, I have found inspiration in H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Digital City Vision for Smart Dubai. The Sheikh’s avant-garde strategy for paperless initiatives and focus on digital operations across Dubai’s government and commercial endeavors, has fueled ZorroSign’s early growth and fostered our commitment to innovating digital solutions.

ZorroSign uniquely uses blockchain technology for digital signatures to ensure superior privacy and security. With our patented solutions, we help governments, businesses, and individuals around the world to build, sign, and track mission-critical documents on blockchain—leaving fraud and compliance issues in the past and working digitally with full confidence.

Since ZorroSign’s early days, we have supported UAE startups, title and trust companies, and government agencies to confidently launch digital operations. Our platform was built from the ground up using private, permissioned Hyperledger Fabric blockchain—the blockchain architecture deployed by Amazon Web Services, IBM, Intel, Mastercard, Microsoft, PayPal, and many other organizations—and I have been proud to expand ZorroSign’s operating offices into India, Sri Lanka, and our global headquarters in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the United States, we are helping financial services organizations, legal service providers, and technology companies to secure their digital signatures and transactions on blockchain. But these industries are just the start: Digital operations are surging across education, government, healthcare, real estate, and hundreds of other verticals, all of whom could benefit from the enhanced security and immutable records of blockchain.

For example, only ZorroSign integrates digital signatures, automated compliance, intelligent forms, document management, fraud prevention, user authentication and document verification into our platform. This extraordinary fusion of cutting-edge technologies ensures the privacy and security of our clients’ digital documents, and provides an unalterable chain of custody for digital transactions performed anywhere, on any device.

Like the city of Dubai, ZorroSign is committed to privacy and security in digital operations, and we are helping businesses everywhere to confidently move to digital operations—“going green” and improving sustainability by escaping paper consumption, copying, storage, and other costs.

Our blockchain platform further ensures for privacy and security compliance across many international standards, including the EU’s GDPR and eIDAS regulations, Canada’s PIPEDA and UECA, the IT Act of India, the UAE’s Federal Law No. 1 of 2006 regarding Electronic Transactions and E-Commerce granting electronic signatures legal force and effect, multiple U.S. regulations such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, E-Sign Act, HIPAA, NIST encryption standards, UETA, and many more.

Since our early beginnings in the UAE, I have championed transparency and privacy, and am committed to building technology solutions that help our planet, protect privacy, and improve the security of digital data. I encourage you to make me prove it! I always love talking blockchain, digital signatures, and data security with visionary leaders on LinkedIn and look forward to your comments.
