Sphereon VDX: a verifiable data layer

Stop relying on PDFs, screenshots, email trails, and point-in-time checks. Sphereon VDX is a verifiable data layer for policy-driven trust and audit-ready decisions. It is a deployable verifiable data exchange platform that verifies evidence, resolves trust, applies policy, and returns auditable decisions to your existing business systems.

With VDX, every high-trust transaction can become a policy-controlled decision where trust matters. Deploy it as a finished layer on top of your existing stack, without forcing a rip-and-replace of your core systems.

VDX is not just a verifier and not just a credential platform. It is the operational layer that sits between untrusted external data and your internal systems of record. Where IDK provides low-level cryptographic control and EDK provides production-grade building blocks, VDX provides the deployable verifiable data layer with APIs, management tooling, workflow support, and reusable solution patterns for enterprise operations.

Verifying integrity and holder binding.
Checking trust and live issuer status.
Applying custom policy rules.
Returning outcomes into enterprise systems.
Retaining a verifiable audit path.

What this means for your business:

Reduce manual review

Replace appearance-based checks with cryptographic verification of who, what, and why. Reduce the manual cost of repetitive document review, revalidation, and exception handling.

Enforce decisions consistently

Turn evidence into automated operational decisions instead of human interpretation and exception handling. Shorten onboarding, assurance, and approval cycles by validating evidence in-line.

Prove what happened

Capture the request, the proof, the trust context, and the policy outcome in one defensible record. Move from narrative compliance to evidence-backed control execution for NIS2.

Scale without rebuilding

Deploy as a finished orchestration layer on top of your existing stack. Start with one high-friction process, then reuse the same trust layer across multiple use cases.

eIDAS 2.0 changes what trust requires

Under the EU eIDAS 2.0 regulation, organizations must act as both issuers and relying parties. You will be legally required to accept EUDI wallet credentials from others—and to verify them with cryptographic certainty—while simultaneously providing your own trusted credentials to partners and staff.
Legacy IAM solutions cannot meet this new legal bar and cannot support the portable, high-assurance issuance required by the European mandate.

VDX is the operational layer that closes the gap on both sides:

For relying parties: It handles the complex credential verification against the eIDAS 2.0 trust frameworks, plus applying your specific business rules to return auditable decisions into your existing systems.

For issuers: It enables you to issue verifiable credentials directly into your users’ wallets, ensuring your data is portable and instantly trusted.

Deployment and due diligence

Deploy the way you operate

VDX is designed to sit on top of your existing systems, not replace them. Sphereon supports multiple deployment models for strict compliance environments:

SaaS
Private cloud
Sovereign cloud
On-premises / edge

Built for due diligence

Anchored in the standards and trust frameworks that matter for real-world interoperability and long-term risk control.

Identity & trust: eIDAS 2.0 ARF, W3C VC, ISO mdoc, OpenID Federation.

Enterprise integration: OID4VCI, OID4VP with DCQL, status checking, OpenID Connect.

Choose one process. Prove control fast.

Start with one high-friction process where trust is assumed, checks are manual, and evidence is weak. We will help you define the proof required, the policy rules that should apply, and the integration path into your existing environment.
