Take the details from the certificate
You need the organization name and the certificate number, which is printed on the certificate in the form RZ-27001-NNNNN. The scope statement and expiry date are useful too, especially if you were sent a copy.

We confirm in writing
Within one business day we tell you whether we issued the certificate and, if so, its scope, sites, dates, and current status. If it has been suspended or withdrawn, or we did not issue it, we say so plainly.
Why verify
A certificate is a claim. Verification is how you check it without having to trust the organization making the claim or the PDF they sent you. Certificates can be suspended or withdrawn, scopes can be narrower than a supplier implies, and copies of certificates circulate long after they expire.
Reporting misuse
If you find an organization claiming RiskZero certification that we cannot confirm, or using our mark outside its certified scope, please tell us through thecomplaints process. We investigate every report.
