SOC

What SOC does

SOC SRL is an Italian Innovative Startup (Startup Innovativa) founded in 2024 and headquartered in Cagliari, Sardinia. Operating as "Safety on Chain," the company runs a SaaS platform that digitalizes workplace safety training management for Italian training organizations (enti di formazione), safety consultants, and small and medium-sized enterprises (PMI). The platform automates the management of courses, student records, electronic registers, certificate generation, digital signatures, and compliance deadline tracking, with the company claiming it can automate up to 80% of the repetitive manual activities involved in training administration. Customers include training organizations, gas and safety firms, an educational institution, and industrial services companies, with seven logos displayed on the company website.

The platform is built on Algorand, a carbon-neutral blockchain, which is used to digitally sign certificates at the moment of creation with a certified timestamp and a unique identifier for the training organization, providing tamper-evident authenticity for attestations. The current product is Modulo Formatori (Trainers Module), which includes automated ASR25-compliant PDF certificate generation, an Excel-compatible electronic register, a certificate-expiry dashboard (Scadenziario), a GDPR-compliant digital archive per Article 53 of Legislative Decree 81/08, and a private portal for trainees. A sub-brand called Semory serves safety consultants, and a Modulo Aziende (Company Module) with an AI-powered 24/7 HSE Digital Assistant is planned for 2026, co-financed under the EU INNOVAZ PAY cohesion program.

SOC operates a freemium-and-subscription hybrid model. Entry tools for trainers are free; per-attestation pricing is €1 per certificate, with annual prepay available for 1,000-attestation volumes, while tiered subscriptions include Plus at €599/year (500 attestations), Premium at €999/year (1,000 attestations, four accounts), and custom Enterprise pricing. Distribution is direct via self-serve web registration at safetyonchain.com, with sales-assisted booking through Cal.com for paid tiers. The company is founder-controlled, bootstrapped with EU co-funding, and led by a core team of six including CEO Stefano De la Torre, CTO Federico Giannotti, HSE/Product lead Gabriele Mascaro, and UX/UI lead Leonardo Parmeggiani.

Direct peers

• Intelex: EHS and quality management software platform serving regulated industries with compliance tracking, training records, and document control. Comparable in managing training certificates and compliance deadlines within broader EHS workflows.
• SafetyCulture: Global SaaS platform for workplace safety inspections, training, and compliance management. Most directly comparable EHS SaaS peer in terms of mobile-first, SMB-friendly approach to digitizing safety workflows, although SafetyCulture operates at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint.
• Cority: Enterprise EHS SaaS platform covering occupational health, safety, and compliance. Comparable in serving regulated safety workflows, although Cority targets larger enterprises and lacks SOC's training-certificate-led, blockchain-based differentiation.
• ComplianceQuest: Cloud-native EHS and quality management platform built on Salesforce with training management and compliance tracking modules. Comparable in delivering EHS workflows as modern SaaS, though positioned for mid-market and enterprise buyers rather than Italian trainers.
• EHS Insight: EHS software platform with training management, incident tracking, and compliance modules targeted at mid-market companies. Comparable in serving safety training and compliance documentation workflows, though without SOC's blockchain-verified certificate differentiation.

Regional players

• Inaz: Italian HR, payroll, and compliance software vendor serving SMEs and professionals across Italy. Comparable as an Italy-focused software provider addressing regulatory documentation needs of Italian businesses, though primarily HR-led rather than HSE-led.

Broad incumbents

• Zucchetti: Largest Italian software group offering HR, compliance, and HSE modules to Italian SMEs and enterprises. Represents the dominant incumbent that could bundle a SOC-like certificate management capability into its existing enterprise software stack.
• Sphera: Enterprise EHS, operational risk, and product stewardship software platform. Comparable in addressing workplace safety and compliance documentation at scale, though focused on large enterprise customers rather than SMBs and trainers.
• Bureau Veritas: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with Italian operations in HSE compliance and training services. Comparable as a stakeholder in the certification value chain, though primarily services-led rather than software-led.
• Wolters Kluwer: Global provider of compliance, legal, and regulatory information solutions with established Italian operations serving HSE and workforce compliance buyers. Comparable as a broader compliance platform that could absorb safety training documentation workflows.
