Validiti Certified Facilities

Some customers need their substrate run off-site — for sovereignty, for regulatory reasons, for multi-site coordination, because they don't run hardware themselves. Validiti certifies the facility operators who serve them. The substrate is identical; the certification means a Validiti tech has inspected the operation and confirmed it meets the Blueprint.

Through a certified facility

An inspected operator runs your substrate at their site under Validiti certification.

01 · Who path 03 is for

The customer who picks a certified facility usually has at least one of these reasons:

02 · What certification means

A Validiti tech inspects the operator's facility on-site, verifies the Blueprint is correctly implemented, and issues a signed certification that's valid for a defined period. The customer can trust that:

03 · The three certification levels

A customer picks the level that matches the requirement they're serving. Operator pricing varies by market; the certification level defines what the operator has been inspected against.

Level 01

Validiti Certified · Standard

General off-site storage for small business, professional practice, and civic use. The default level for customers who want certified operations without a specific regulatory overlay.

Small businesses · regional commerce · non-profits
Level 02

Validiti Certified · Regulated

Layered on top of Standard. The operator additionally carries the regulatory certifications applicable to the customer's industry — HIPAA controls, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, FedRAMP moderate. Validiti certification confirms the substrate-side controls; the operator brings the regulatory framework.

Level 03

Validiti Certified · Sovereign

Highest gate. For tribal nations, state-controlled facilities, defense-adjacent operators with CMMC / ITAR posture, and national entities operating sovereign infrastructure on dedicated hardware for a single principal.

Tribal · defense · state IT · national-entity infrastructure

04 · What to look for when picking an operator

One thing the certification structurally guarantees across every certified operator: the hyperscale cloud providers (AMAZON, Google, Microsoft, xAI, and their subsidiaries) are not eligible for Validiti Certified status under the Blueprint license terms. If you require certified operations, you cannot accept those providers, and they cannot enter the framework without disposing of their core cloud-provider business model.

05 · Current operators

Validiti is identifying inaugural operators for each certification level. Operators inspected and certified will be listed publicly here with their level, geographic coverage, and direct contact.

Five Star

Identifying as inaugural Regulated operator

Existing oilfield operations + field service capacity + regulatory familiarity make Five Star the likely first Regulated-level certified operator.

Regional Standard operators

Identifying

Mid-tier data centers and regional hosting providers without hyperscaler ownership entanglement.

Sovereign operators

Identifying

Tribal-nation IT, state-controlled facilities, defense-adjacent specialty operators.

06 · Becoming a certified operator

Validiti certifies facilities that operate substrate-native off-site storage and service under the Blueprint. The path is: licensing discussion, technical Blueprint review, on-site inspection by a Validiti tech, signed certification at the level matching your operation. Re-inspection happens on a defined cadence to maintain certification.

Validiti does not actively recruit certified operators through outbound channels. Operator relationships emerge from substantive partner conversations. If you operate facility infrastructure that fits and want to talk, the contact page is the starting point.
