Enabling Trusted Credentialing Solutions for the Modern Enterprise!
San Jose, California – November 9, 2024: Hyperstack, a pioneer in blockchain-driven credential management solutions, proudly announces its achievement of SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance, affirming its commitment to the highest standards of data security and regulatory adherence.
Achieving SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance reflects how seriously we approach trust and security at Hyperstack, especially for systems that manage sensitive data and long-lived credentials. “These standards validate the controls we’ve built around data protection, access, and operational integrity, while allowing us to use blockchain selectively where it genuinely strengthens verification,” stated David Peter Rajkumar, CEO of Hyperstack. For our customers, this means confidence that credentials issued today remain secure, verifiable, and reliable over time.
Trusted, Compliant Credential Management for Enterprise and Education
SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance are two of the most respected security and privacy benchmarks in global enterprise software in 2025. This milestone strengthens Hyperstack’s commitment to helping institutions securely issue, manage, and verify digital credentials while operating within strict regulatory environments.
Key Takeaways
- SOC 2 Type II ensures that Hyperstack’s security controls operate effectively over time
- GDPR compliance confirms adherence to EU data protection law
- Enterprise teams gain stronger assurance for risk, procurement, and compliance reviews
- Digital credentials issued via Hyperstack meet the highest security and privacy expectations of modern organizations
SOC 2, created by the American Institute of CPAs, evaluates how a service provider protects customer data with respect to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
- Type I checks whether controls are designed correctly at a single point in time
- Type II validates that these controls operate effectively over an extended review period
For organizations that issue digital credentials, the distinction matters deeply. Credentials contain identity data. Identity data attracts risk scrutiny and SOC 2 Type II gives enterprises the reliable proof that Hyperstack protects credential data consistently and predictably.
This is especially important for higher education institutions, large training providers, professional associations, and regulated industries where vendor due diligence is non-negotiable.

What GDPR Represents for Digital Credential Privacy
The General Data Protection Regulation is the European Union’s most comprehensive data protection law. It outlines how organizations must handle personal data and requires clear consent practices, transparency in processing, and enforceable user rights. GDPR compliance for a credentialing platform specifically ensures that data subjects can:
- Access their information
- Request corrections
- Request deletion where permitted
- Understand how their data is used
For global organizations or any institution with EU based learners, GDPR compliance is not optional. It is the foundation of trustworthy digital credential operations.
Why These Standards Matter for Hyperstack Users
Enhanced Security Controls
SOC 2 Type II demonstrates that Hyperstack’s security processes are tested, observed, and verified over several months. This provides a stronger level of assurance than a one time audit.
More Confident Enterprise Procurement
Vendor risk assessments increasingly require detailed compliance reports. Achieving SOC 2 Type II reduces friction for procurement teams and shortens evaluation cycles.
Global Privacy Alignment
GDPR compliance ensures that credential data is handled according to one of the strictest privacy frameworks in the world. Organizations benefit from smoother cross border deployments and reduced legal risk.
Together, these certifications place Hyperstack in the class of enterprise ready credentialing platforms that prioritize user trust as a core design principle.
Many credentialing platforms claim to be secure. A smaller number meet baseline security requirements. Yet fewer still achieve both SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance in tandem.
Here is where Hyperstack distinguishes itself:
1. Continuous Security Validation
Some platforms hold SOC 2 Type I, which evaluates controls only at a single moment. Hyperstack holds SOC 2 Type II, which reinforces operational reliability over time.
2. Full GDPR Alignment
Not all credentialing solutions follow GDPR principles by design. Hyperstack’s platform supports privacy by default, transparent data handling, and robust user rights management. For institutions with international audiences, this reduces compliance overhead significantly.
3. Enterprise Grade Credibility
Procurement and legal teams prefer vendors with established certification frameworks. Hyperstack now meets the same certification standards expected of global SaaS companies, which strengthens trust in long term deployments.
4. Strong Foundation for Future Certifications
The discipline required for SOC 2 Type II and GDPR tends to correlate with organizations that continue to invest in compliance maturity. Hyperstack’s roadmap aligns with this trajectory.
For decision makers comparing platforms, this compliance framework is a meaningful differentiator. It signals operational discipline, responsible data practices, and readiness for scale.
What This Means for Your Organization
SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance are not just technical checkboxes. They change what organizations should expect from a modern digital credentialing platform. With Hyperstack, compliance becomes part of the foundation, not an obstacle you're used to working around.
At a practical level, this directly improves how credentialing teams operate day to day. What you'll experience once you adapt an efficient workflow include:
A Stronger Security Baseline
Your credential workflows run on infrastructure that is continuously tested and independently audited. This reduces internal risk exposure and removes uncertainty during security reviews, especially when engaging with IT and governance teams.
Compliance That Works Across Borders
Whether your learners are based in the European Union, North America, or elsewhere, Hyperstack is built with privacy aligned data handling at its core. This makes it easier to serve global audiences without fragmenting processes or creating regional exceptions.
Shorter Procurement and Approval Cycles
Security and privacy concerns often slow down vendor selection. With established compliance in place, procurement, legal, and IT teams can move faster and with greater confidence, particularly in regulated or enterprise environments.
Infrastructure That Scales Without Compromise
As credential volumes grow, the underlying architecture is designed to maintain consistency, performance, and security. Expansion does not introduce fragility or operational risk.
Every credential you issue represents your institution. A strong compliance posture reinforces trust with learners, partners, employers, and accreditation bodies, long after the credential is delivered.
Security expectations continue to rise. Hyperstack provides a credentialing environment that is designed to meet those expectations today while remaining ready for what comes next. Organizations that invest in compliant digital credentialing infrastructure now set themselves up for smoother operations, stronger credibility, and sustainable growth.
