Escudo

What Escudo does

Escudo (legal name Sistema Escudo) is a Brazilian SaaS company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Blumenau that operates a cloud-based Learning Management System for Occupational Health and Safety (SST — Saúde e Segurança no Trabalho) training. The platform is positioned as the first and only solution in Brazil 100% compliant with NR-1 and its Annex II, providing individual logins, access logs retained beyond two years, ICP-Brasil digital signatures on certificates, and audit-ready compliance dossiers. Escudo serves 500+ companies across ten verticals including Energy, Oil & Gas, Mining, Logistics, Agribusiness, Data Centers, Port Operations, Metallurgy, Retail, and Footwear, with notable enterprise clients such as Shell, Petrobras, Eletrobras, Mercedes-Benz, Nubank, Globo, Saint-Gobain, Maersk, and Raízen.

The product surface spans four pillars: (1) the LMS platform itself, hosted on AWS, with automated enrollment, recertification, and certificate issuance; (2) a catalog of 250+ normative training courses covering NR-1 through NR-37 plus thematic programs (Mental Health, Productivity, Sales), employing 3D simulators, gamification, and scenario-based learning; (3) the Fábrica de Treinamentos, a custom content authoring service producing bespoke digital and physical learning objects; and (4) outsourced in-person training with qualified instructors. The Evolke sub-brand extends the LMS with deep-link course access for external platforms and e-commerce integrations. As of 2025, Escudo has certified more than 200,000 students and contributes 60+ training courses to ISN's ISNetworld global LMS as one of 14 integrated training providers.

Escudo monetizes through a per-certificate payment model in which clients pay only upon successful completion rather than per enrollment, aligning vendor revenue with client outcomes. The go-to-market combines enterprise field sales with a free diagnostic consultation, inside sales for mid-market, and a product-led self-serve motion with free resources and catalog browsing for SMBs. Marketing is driven by content (e-books, regulatory guides, free tools), social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube), the 300+ member Escudo Talks WhatsApp community, and trade show presence at FISP. The company operates as an independent private entity with no disclosed venture capital or private equity investment; founder Hugo Vogel serves as founding director.
