Scheme set-up, operation and certification activities delivered with ISO/IEC 17065 impartiality and state-of-the-art technical rigor.
Introduction
What certification covers
Certification delivers solid, opposable proof that products, solutions and services comply with established security requirements. Buyers, regulators and insurers increasingly treat the certificate — not the marketing claim — as the contractual reference.
Internet of Trust runs certification activities end-to-end, from scheme set-up and lab accreditation to evaluation monitoring, results review and certification decision — every activity delivered under criteria that guarantee impartiality and technical state-of-the-art, in line with ISO/IEC 17065:2012.
This page covers our two-phase approach — Build and Operate — the deliverables expected from a certification body, and the engagement modes for scheme owners and certification authorities.

Process
Build and Operate
Two structural phases — Build then Operate — underpinned by continuous project planning, evidence preparation, lab coordination and full-audit-trail documentation.
01
Build
Create the management and certification body, accredit the initial labs, install the scheme information system, run pilot evaluations, register the scheme with competent authorities and launch interest groups.
02
Operate
Apply scheme processes, accredit labs, monitor evaluations, issue certificates, interact with stakeholders, lead interest groups and communicate on behalf of the scheme owner.
Delivery plan
What we deliver
A complete certification-body toolkit — from lab accreditation packages to public registries and stakeholder communication material.
Lab accreditation
Accreditation files, technical assessments and surveillance plans aligned to ISO/IEC 17025.
Product/solution/service certificates
Issued under ISO/IEC 17065 with documented decision rationale.
Information resources
Public registries, certificate databases, transparency reports.
Templates and instructions for scheme users, evaluators, certifiers and auditors.
Communication plan & media
Presentations, white papers, FAQs and ecosystem feedback loops.
Engagement modes
Types of services
Two engagement shapes covering full scheme operation and targeted certification activities.
Mode 01
Scheme Operation
Launch a new scheme or manage an existing one — management structure, daily activities, lab accreditation, product certification, scheme documentation maintenance.
Mode 02
Certification Activities
Skilled technical resources for certification request analysis, evaluation monitoring, results review and certification decision under a given scheme.
Operational details
Cross-cutting activities
Day-to-day certification work spans request intake, evidence review, lab coordination and decision documentation — all tracked with full audit trail.
Project planning & evidence preparation
Acceptance of certification requests, analysis of input documentation and evaluation plans, planning of evidence delivery and lab milestones.
Lab coordination & documentation
Continuous evaluation monitoring, technical arbitration, results review and certification decision with full audit trail.
