Can it be used as evidence for program audits?

Yes — tamper-proof verification and issuance data can serve as audit evidence. Blockchain-based tamper-proofing and standard metadata prove the fact of issuance and the criteria met, so it can be used as evidence for audit response.

Can it be used in an internal (closed) network environment?

We discuss and advise a configuration matching your institution's security requirements. Closed-network, access-control and other environment-specific requirements are reviewed in a tailored-configuration consultation to confirm feasibility and setup.

How does it address public-sector security and privacy standards?

It runs on pseudonymization, view approval and ISO 27001. Sensitive data is stored pseudonymized per the Personal Information Protection Act, and viewing the original requires a two-step request → approval. ISO 27001-based operation meets public-sector security standards and audit-response requirements.

How do we use completion and participation data in education-program outcome reports?

Export issuance, completion and participation data as report indicators by program and cohort. Download the figures aggregated in the dashboard as files and use them directly in outcome reports. The University of Seoul industry-academic foundation groups the outcomes of 7 RISE programs into a 15-badge system for program reporting. See the design details in the University of Seoul RISE case article.

Can public forms like commendations and awards also be issued as digital badges?

Yes — we provide templates for public-specific forms such as commendations, awards and participation certificates. In fact, KOSME's Seoul Youth Startup Academy issues outstanding-graduate commendations as digital badges. See the background in the Seoul Economic Daily coverage.

We run several delegated programs — can we manage them in one place?

Yes — issue separately by program and manage the overall picture on a unified dashboard. OurLocalSchool runs 10+ programs at once and automated certificate issuance and re-issuance. See how it operates in the OurLocalSchool interview.
