diplomasiden

Diplomasiden is a private educational support company headquartered in Oslo, Norway. It was established in 2007 by a group of former university administrators with the goal of simplifying the processes of diploma issuance and verification for students and institutions across Scandinavia. The company provides a cloud‑based platform that allows universities to issue electronic diplomas, manage transcripts, and certify academic credentials for employers and governmental agencies.

Diplomasiden’s services include automated diploma generation, secure digital signatures, and an API integration that enables partner institutions to upload degree data directly into the system. The platform supports compliance with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Europass framework, ensuring that personal data is protected and that records are interoperable across member states. In addition to diploma management, the company offers consulting on academic credential verification for multinational employers and financial institutions seeking to assess foreign qualifications.

The company claims that its solutions reduced the average time for diploma processing by 40 % compared to traditional paper‑based workflows. Diplomasiden has partnered with over 30 universities and vocational schools in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland. Its services have been recognized in several industry reports for improving transparency in higher‑education accreditation.

Critics argue that reliance on a single private provider raises concerns about data sovereignty and the centralization of educational records. In 2019, Diplomasiden faced a data breach that exposed academic information for a small cohort of users; the incident led to stricter internal security protocols and the adoption of multi‑factor authentication for all administrative access.

Diplomasiden continues to expand its offerings, including a mobile app that provides students with instant access to their academic records and the ability to share verified credentials with potential employers.
