Cybersecurity Training

Cybersecurity Training Certificates That Practice What You Preach

You teach people to question trust, verify identity, and assume nothing is safe until proven otherwise. Then you hand them a PDF anyone could forge in five minutes.

TRUE Original gives cybersecurity training providers blockchain-secured digital certificates — tamper-proof, instantly verifiable, and built on the kind of security your students would actually respect.

The Certificate Fraud Problem in Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing hiring markets in the world — and one of the most susceptible to credential fraud.

The certificates that prove someone completed ethical hacking training, passed a penetration testing course, or graduated from a security bootcamp are, in most cases, unprotected PDF files. The irony writes itself.

If you're training the people who protect organisations from fraud, your certificates shouldn't be vulnerable to it.

  • PDFs are trivially easy to forge. Anyone with basic editing skills can change a name, a date, or a course title on a PDF certificate. For people trained in cybersecurity, this takes seconds — not minutes.
  • Employers can't tell the difference. A forged certificate looks identical to a real one. There's no digital signature, no hash, no verification mechanism. The employer either trusts it at face value or starts making phone calls.
  • Manual verification doesn't scale. When a hiring manager needs to verify a training certificate, they email or call the issuing provider. If the provider is slow to respond — or no longer operates — the verification stalls.
  • The skills gap creates pressure to fake it. High demand for cybersecurity professionals combined with premium salaries creates a strong incentive for candidates to exaggerate or fabricate credentials. Without a reliable verification system, training providers have no way to protect the value of what they issue.

What TRUE Does for Cybersecurity Training

TRUE Original replaces editable files with digital credentials secured by the same principles your students study — cryptographic hashing, immutable ledgers, and zero-trust verification.

Blockchain-Secured — Cryptographically Immutable

Every certificate issued through TRUE is hashed and written to the blockchain. The hash is a cryptographic fingerprint of the certificate's contents — recipient, course, date, issuer. If a single character is altered after issuance, the hash won't match and verification fails.

The certificate is recorded across multiple blockchains (Ethereum, AVAX, Fantom, Polygon), creating redundancy that any security professional would appreciate. No single point of failure. No way to alter the record.

Your students will understand exactly why this works — and that's the point.

QR Code Verification — Zero-Trust, Instant

Every TRUE certificate includes a QR code. An employer, recruiter, or client scans it with their phone — no app required — and gets immediate verification: who was certified, for what course, when, and by which provider.

No trust assumptions. No phone calls. No waiting. The verification model your students would design if you asked them to.

Your Domain, Your Brand

Certificates live on your own custom domain — certs.yourcompany.com — with your branding, your logo, your design. When a graduate shares their credential or an employer verifies it, they see your training organisation. Not a third-party platform.

REST API: Automate From Your LMS

TRUE's REST API offers five endpoints that connect to your existing learning management system or training platform. When a student passes a course, completes a lab, or finishes a bootcamp, the certificate can be issued automatically. No manual data entry. No delay between completion and credentialing.

For providers running multiple cohorts, corporate clients, and self-paced courses simultaneously, this turns certificate issuance from an admin task into an automated workflow.

Analytics: See Who's Verifying

TRUE's dashboard shows you when and where certificates are being viewed, shared, and verified. You'll know when an employer checks a graduate's credential, which courses produce the most engagement, and how your certificates perform as professional assets over time.

eIDAS Compliant

TRUE meets EU electronic identification and trust services standards — an additional layer of legal credibility for European training providers and for any certificates reviewed by EU-based employers or regulators.

Built by a Company That Understands Security

Cyber Hygiene Certified by OneMore Secure

TRUE Original doesn't just sell security features — it's held to the same standard. TRUE is Cyber Hygiene Certified by OneMore Secure, a cybersecurity firm that provides security training, penetration testing, and security assessments for organisations across Europe.

OneMore Secure didn't just audit TRUE. They also use TRUE to issue their own training certificates. When your cybersecurity auditor chooses you as their certificate platform, that says something about the security of the infrastructure.

"For us, it's only natural to collaborate with the player in secure document management that has the highest quality, and stands for world-class security." Matti Olofsson, CEO, OneMore Secure

Why Graduates Love Their TRUE Certificates

Your students are building careers in a field that values proof over claims. Give them a credential that matches.

One Link That Proves Everything

A TRUE certificate is a permanent, shareable URL. Graduates add it to their LinkedIn profile, include it on their CV, link it from their personal portfolio or GitHub. One link that any employer can click and verify independently — no downloads, no file attachments, no trust required.

Verifiable by Any Employer, Forever

The blockchain record doesn't expire, doesn't depend on your servers staying online, and doesn't require the employer to contact you. Five years from now, the certificate is as verifiable as the day it was issued. Even if your company changes domains or restructures, the blockchain record persists.

Credibility That Matches the Field

A blockchain-secured certificate from a cybersecurity training provider signals something: this organisation takes security seriously at every level, including how they credential their graduates. It's a trust signal that resonates with hiring managers, CISOs, and technical recruiters who understand what blockchain verification means.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions from cybersecurity training providers and certification bodies evaluating TRUE.

How do you prove a TRUE certificate has not been tampered with?

Every certificate is hashed and written to a public blockchain (Ethereum, AVAX, Fantom, or Polygon). Any change to the document changes the hash, so a verifier can prove on their own — with no trust in TRUE required — whether the certificate matches what was originally issued.

Can we issue certificates on our own domain?

Yes. Documents and verification pages live on your domain, your branding, your URL. Students and their employers never see TRUE in the URL. The cryptographic guarantees stay the same.

Is TRUE itself compliant with the standards we teach?

TRUE is eIDAS compliant, Cyber Hygiene Certified by OneMore Secure, GDPR aligned, and currently working toward ISO 27001. We treat our own security the way your students are taught to treat theirs.

How do we revoke a certificate if a graduate is decertified?

Revocation is a one-click action from your dashboard. The blockchain record remains, but the verification page immediately shows the credential as revoked, with the reason if you choose to publish one.

Can we integrate with our LMS or assessment platform?

Yes. TRUE has direct integrations with Canvas, Moodle, and Learnster, plus a REST API with five endpoints. Most cybersecurity training providers issue automatically from their assessment platform once a candidate passes.

Do graduates need to create a TRUE account to receive a certificate?

No. Certificates are sent by email and accessible via a public verification URL. No login, no app, no friction. This is intentional — friction is where credentials get lost.

Are you GDPR compliant?

TRUE is a Swedish company headquartered in Stockholm. The platform is GDPR aligned by default, data minimised, EU hosted, with clear data-processor agreements for issuing organisations.

Can different teams in our organisation issue under separate brands?

Yes. Sub-organisations, partner schools, and white-label resellers can each have their own branding, signers, and certificate templates while staying under one parent account.

Your Students Defend Systems. Your Certificates Should Defend Themselves.

You train the people who protect organisations from breaches, fraud, and identity theft. The certificates you issue should reflect that same standard — tamper-proof, verifiable, and secured by cryptography, not by trust.
