How the reference request works

Discretion is part of our business.

Our clients entrust us with sensitive business information — from audit reports through risk assessments to the strategy for the next certification round. This confidentiality is part of our business model.

We therefore do not publish reference client lists. We disclose logos, case studies or quotes exclusively with the explicit written consent of the client in question — and only when it is appropriate in the specific context.

Request reference

01/ You ask

Describe briefly in which industry and for which standard you need a reference — and in what format (phone call, written recommendation, logo release).

02/ We check internally

We identify suitable clients from our portfolio and check whether their confidentiality status permits disclosure.

03/ We obtain release

We approach the relevant clients directly and obtain their explicit consent — never without their knowledge.

04/ You receive the reference

Within 5–10 business days you receive the released contacts or materials — discreetly and on point.
/Contact us

When shall we talk?

Send us a message via the contact form – or call us directly. You will usually receive a reply within 24 hours.
