Security is of particular importance when heads of legal entities (companies, enterprises, organizations, etc.) use electronic signatures. In this regard, transferring an electronic signature to another person creates a risk that information about those persons will fall into the hands of third parties.
Since enhanced electronic signatures have the same legal force as a handwritten signature, their uncontrolled transfer to an accountant or other person may lead to misuse of the digital identity of the head of the organization. In general, entrusting electronic signature carriers and PIN codes to someone else creates the following risks and the threat of data capture:
Opening a company in your name and illegal money transfers
Creation of tax debt
Property information such as a house or car you own (addresses, registered persons, date of purchase, etc.)
Your laboratory analysis results
Your salary, pension capital
Powers of attorney you have issued
Taxes taken out in your name
Court cases you are involved in
Your border crossing information (dates of countries you have visited)
Your military service, fines, etc.
The above-mentioned risks can be prevented thanks to SIMA's new generation digital signature. Thus, here, the manager can grant signing authority to any employee of the company completely electronically (kabinet.sima.az) without transmitting his electronic signature. Since the authorized person enters the system with his/her digital signature, he/she cannot view any personal information related to the manager, but can only perform operations on the system he/she is logged in to. In addition, it is possible to track which operation was performed by which employee and when through the system. This prevents personal data from falling into the hands of unauthorized persons.
