UK-based security printer Zunoma is a leading security printer with a global reputation and deep-rooted partnerships across Africa spanning multiple decades. Zunoma has unveiled a hybrid certificate platform designed for the specific needs of African educational and awarding institutions.
Zunoma’s International Growth Manager, Oluwabunmi Balogun joined forces with the UK-based printing firm in July 2024 via a Global Talent Visa and has been helping scale operations in the EMEA markets.
He commented, ‘Zunoma has been innovating security solutions for over 60 years. In 2025 we focused on practical solutions that help African institutions issue secure, verifiable physical and digital credentials.’
The platform, launched at the FAB (Federation of Awarding Bodies) conference on 27–28 November, is called eCertSecure. It’s a SaaS solution that combines physical security features with modern digital verification to meet demand for trusted, flexible credentialing.
eCertSecure gives users the flexibility to issue physical certificates, secure digital versions, or a combination of both, bulk delivered to the institution or dispatched directly to the graduate. Data validation and instant proofing ensure accuracy, while graduate-controlled share codes streamline the verification process. Instead of institutions handling employer verification requests, graduates can provide secure access to their certificates, significantly reducing administrative overhead.
The eCertSecure dashboard empowers administrators with full oversight, seamlessly handling template selection, candidate data uploads, proof generation, distribution tracking, and certificate delivery, all within one intuitive interface.
Zunoma’s Chief Technology Officer Stuart Manners said, ‘eCertSecure gives awarding bodies complete control, from creation and issuance through to fulfilment, all in one place, streamlining certificate issuance and adding long-term value through enhanced security and robust data protection, fundamentally improving how credentials are managed and verified.’
Designed for awarding bodies of all types, eCertSecure scales effortlessly, regardless of the size of the organisation. eCertSecure is available to new and existing customers. Learn more here or email Zunoma for a demo.
