Trustworthy, Multi-layer verification
First, a member of your team will carry out a self-assessment, after which we will work with you to visually verify these achievements (usually via public URL, or internal documentation).
As a final layer of authentication, some (not all) areas must then be verified by your employees too. This is carried out via a simple, short survey (Usually 5-7 questions)
