How CredLens Works
How CredLens Works
CredLens provides partners with a streamlined process for trusted, verifiable outcomes insights
We collect individual-level data from participating credential issuers, including verified records of credential holders and program information.
We securely share those records with authorized external data providers — such as wage and employment data sources — for outcomes matching.
We integrate into our program matched records returned to CredLens.
We translate verified data into clear dashboards and visual insights that credential issuers, funders, and policymakers can use to drive decisions.

Data Security and Privacy at CredLens
Who we serve and how we help
Security and privacy aren’t add-ons — they’re embedded in everything we do.
We operate under a robust Information Security Management System (ISMS) that includes risk assessments, audits, and data handling best practices to safeguard Personally Identifiable Information (PII) as well as overall data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
CredLens is SOC 2 Type 1 certified. Upcoming certifications include ISO-27001, ISO-27002, ISO-27018, and plans to support NIST 800-53 controls through programs like StateRAMP.
Our AWS-based infrastructure follows the Well-Architected Framework and uses TLS 1.3 for in-transit encryption and AES-256 for data at rest.
We combine AWS managed security with third-party SIEM tools for full-stack protection and visibility.
