Northwind Lumen Cobalt Vertex Meridian Atlas
Built on trust

Your people’s most sensitive data, in the safest hands.

Payroll, identities and performance records are the most sensitive data a company holds. Tessera protects them with bank-grade security, zero custody of your money, and cryptographic privacy, proving it with independent audits, not promises.

SOC 2 Type II GDPR ISO 27001 MiCA Aligned AML / KYC screening Zero custody

Bank-grade security

End-to-end encryption, SSO & SCIM, granular roles and continuous monitoring. We never hold your crypto, money moves zero custody through licensed partners.

Privacy by design

Zero-knowledge proofs verify payroll without exposing a single salary; sentiment stays aggregate only. Your data is yours, with EU residency on request.

Audit-ready compliance

Localized to every market, including multi-state, GDPR, WPS, GOSI, FBR, with screening on every transaction and exportable evidence your auditors will love.

The end of tool sprawl

Five tools became one platform.

Large organizations run up to 50 distinct HR technologies; about half report redundant software, concentrated in payroll and recruiting. Tessera collapses the blended ~$670/user/month stack into one unified workspace.

Global HRIS

Parent–subsidiary ledger with consolidated headcount, cost and productivity across every entity.

Compliant payroll

Calculated in fiat, paid your way, choosing bank transfer, stablecoin, or a custom split.

Zero-touch IT

Ship, enroll, depreciate, wipe and buy-back devices, where every laptop is an HR, finance and MDM record at once.

In-app adoption

No-code guided walkthroughs at the point of work, exportable to PDF, SCORM or video.

Compliant global payroll

Pay anyone, anywhere, without breaking the law.

Base wages are always calculated, withheld and filed in local fiat to satisfy minimum-wage and tax rules. The employee then chooses to take part of their net pay in stablecoin, converted at the fair-market-value timestamp and delivered to their wallet.

  • 1Compliant split engine. FICA/FUTA and local contributions computed in fiat; stablecoin is an elective, post-tax conversion.
  • 2Stablecoin sandwich. Fiat in, screened, converted, and routed across 13+ chains via Circle CCTP, settling in under 90 seconds.
  • 3Zero-knowledge privacy. Prove every payment was correct to auditors without exposing a single salary on-chain.

Multi-tenant recruitment

White-labeled portals that sell themselves.

Staffing and recruitment agencies run isolated, branded client portals on a shared framework. Every query is cryptographically tagged with a tenant ID, so Agency A can never see Agency B, even on shared infrastructure.

  • ✓30-second CV sanitizer. Strips contact details and reformats résumés to your template, eliminating work that used to take 25 minutes.
  • ✓Hard-interception compliance. Expiring CPR, CDL or licenses are flagged and placement is blocked automatically.
  • ✓Built-in growth loop. Every agency onboarding its corporate clients introduces new enterprise buyers at near-zero cost.
The unfair moat

Four things legacy tools can’t copy.

Not features that can be cloned in a sprint, but structural advantages built into the foundation.

01

Zero-Knowledge Compliance SDK

Cryptographic proof of correct payroll, which is the key that makes on-chain global pay defensible under GDPR.

02

Autonomous Shadow-AI Governance

The device layer detects unauthorized AI, blocks IP leaks, and routes staff to approved corporate AI.

03

Active In-App Adoption Engine

Guided overlays at the point of work cut time-to-value and slash IT support tickets.

04

Airtight Multi-Tenant Agency Rails

Isolated, white-labeled portals turn staffing firms into a low-touch distribution channel.
