What Trans Sped does

Trans Sped S.A. is a Romanian private Trust Service Provider (TSP) founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bucharest, operating as a digital transformation and fintech infrastructure company. The company is the first accredited TSP in Romania and offers a comprehensive suite of qualified, advanced, and simple digital certificates, qualified timestamps, electronic seals, electronic archiving, and remote video identification services — all compliant with eIDAS Regulation (EU) 910/2014 and cross-certified with the US Federal Bridge. The underlying technology stack is built on cloud-based and token-based PKI infrastructure with HSM-protected cryptographic key storage, a Time Stamping Authority synchronized with national and international sources, and APIs for document signing (PDFsigner), long-term preservation, and workflow automation (EasyStream).

The company's product portfolio spans twelve solution lines covering the full electronic trust lifecycle: from client identification (VideoID) through certificate issuance, electronic signature creation (EasySign, PDFsigner), seal creation (Sigiliu Electronic), document workflows (EasyStream), and long-term archival (LTP, Arhiva Electronică). An adjacent fintech platform (InstaBanking) extends the offering into low-code banking product automation. Revenue is generated primarily through annual subscriptions for certificates and seals (EUR 30-500 per product per year), usage-based pricing for timestamps (EUR 0.20-0.25 per timestamp in packages), and enterprise custom solutions. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales, self-service web portals, API/OEM integrations, and embedded channel partnerships with major financial institutions including BCR (Banca Comerciala Romana) and UniCredit Bank Romania.

Trans Sped serves 17+ industries with documented concentration in banking (950,000+ certificates), pharmaceutical and biotechnology (200,000+), manufacturing (150,000+), public institutions (80,000+), and service providers (100,000+). The company has issued 2M+ qualified digital certificates, signed 30M+ documents, and applied 15M+ qualified timestamps cumulatively. Notable integration partnerships include Microsoft 365/SharePoint (via Cloud Signature Consortium standards), Adobe Acrobat, DocuSign, and SAIC for SAFE-BioPharma pharmaceutical members. The company is certified under ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 14001, ISO 27017/27018, and OHSAS 18001, and is compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11, FDA ESG, EMA, and GDPR requirements.
