Credible certification based on verifiable evidence
At Arkeion-Certification, we do not issue labels based on declarations. Each certification is based on a rigorous and documented process, ensuring that your organisation is truly capable of continuing its activities in the event of a crisis. We are committed to verifying the robustness of your systems, their relevance to your business risks, and their ability to produce tangible results.
1️⃣ Initial audit
It all starts with a comprehensive diagnosis of your current situation.
- Documentary review of your BCPs, DRPs and CRPs.
- Analysis of backup and restore procedures, with verification of their actual applicability.
- Assessment of your critical dependencies: business processes, applications, infrastructure and external partners (SaaS, IaaS, PaaS).
- This audit provides an objective assessment: what you are already doing well, what is missing, and where to focus your efforts.
2️⃣ Verification of deliverables
We check not only the existence but also the operational quality of your strategic documents:
- Business continuity plans (BCPs).
- Disaster recovery plans (DRPs).
- Crisis management plans (CRPs).
- Communication and escalation procedures.
- Each deliverable is analysed to verify its consistency with your business challenges and its integration into your actual processes.
3️⃣ Testing and proof of operation
Credible certification cannot be limited to documents. We organise and verify your continuity and recovery tests:
- Checking the actual effectiveness of backups and their restoration.
- Simulating crisis scenarios involving your business and IT teams.
- Assessing coordination with your cloud and technical service providers.
- Each test generates a legally enforceable evidence file, guaranteeing your credibility with insurers, regulators and customers.
4️⃣ Awarding of levels and badges
At the end of this process, you will obtain:
- An overall level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond) that reflects your maturity.
- Technical badges highlighting your best practices (access security, backups, CI/CD, personal data, compliance, crisis communication).
- This dual recognition allows you to showcase both your overall strength and your specific strengths.
5️⃣ Blockchain traceability
All our certifications are recorded in a blockchain register:
- Transparency and immutability of results.
- Guarantee against falsification.
- Permanent access for your customers, partners, investors and insurers.
- Blockchain makes your certification credible and verifiable, today and tomorrow.
6️⃣ Monitoring and renewal
Resilience is a living dynamic. Our certifications include:
- Monitoring of updates to your deliverables (BIA, BCP, DRP, CRP).
- Regular checks of your backups and cloud dependencies.
- Periodic revalidation of your technical badges.
- Certification renewal every 12 to 24 months, incorporating feedback and areas for improvement.
⚡ In summary: our methodology transforms your systems into verifiable, enforceable and credible evidence, aligned with the same needs and requirements as international resilience standards, while remaining focused on the Ransom Kick method.
