K4Security (CEO Park Kyung-chul) has officially signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Europe's decentralized identity management specialist 'Spherity' to strengthen responses to EU regulations.

This agreement aims to link technologies to respond to new regulations such as the EU's Digital Product Passport (DPP) and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), focusing on enhancing the global supply chain competitiveness of domestic export companies.

Spherity, headquartered in Germany, is a leading company in the field of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and digital certification, possessing innovative technology and regulatory response capabilities that support the digital transformation of EU companies and industries.

Spherity is at the forefront of building a sustainable digital trust ecosystem through DPP and decentralized identifier (DID) solutions that securely exchange and instantly verify enterprise and product data in the EU regulatory industry. Spherity's technology supports DPP implementation based on W3C standards and has accumulated demonstration cases in various industries such as batteries, textiles, and manufacturing.

Under this agreement, K4Security plans to combine Spherity's DPP and EU Business Wallet technology with its own DID-based compliance platform to ensure compliance with new EU regulations such as ESPR and international interoperability. Spherity will support the construction of an interoperable trust ecosystem and entry into the EU digital market, while K4Security will provide customers with international regulatory response and compliance competitiveness through the integration of SaaS-type DPP solutions and Spherity technology.

By integrating Spherity's DPP and EU Business Wallet technology with K4Security's DID-based compliance platform and wallet service, customers will be able to generate and manage DPPs, including ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) data throughout the product lifecycle. This will enable functions such as B2B onboarding and compliance automation, DID-based tamper prevention, and audit traceability. This integrated solution allows for real-time verification while maintaining data sovereignty in complex global supply chains.

This agreement focuses on supporting domestic and Asia-Pacific (APAC) region export companies to proactively respond to new EU regulations such as ESPR and smoothly enter the European market. Coinciding with the EU's mandatory DPP in 2027, it is expected to alleviate the compliance burden of domestic manufacturing, fashion, and mineral industry companies and promote the transition to a sustainable supply chain.

Park Kyung-chul, CEO of K4Security, stated, “The collaboration with Spherity will be a significant turning point for domestic companies that need to respond to EU DPP regulations in complex global supply chains,” and added, “We will focus on building interoperability and regulatory response systems in the value chain through international standard-based solutions.”

K4Security is a leading domestic company providing a DID-based compliance platform optimized for global supply chains and the EU regulatory environment, supplying innovative solutions to various industries based on digital trust and data authenticity verification technology. The company issues and manages product trust data in accordance with international standards, ESG, and the GS1 identification system, supporting the digital transformation and market competitiveness of domestic and foreign companies.
