Notarization in this context
The use of digitization as a certification framework is the cornerstone of our services. Digitized notarization allows us to obtain forgery-proof documentation and certification that can be immediately verified by anyone without the need for specialized software or tools.
Ab Originis, which in Latin means "from the origin" or "from the very beginning". It is used in everyday language, as well as in legal and literary contexts, to indicate something that has validity, a flaw, or value from the very moment of its creation.
We have applied the meaning of the term Ab Originis to the ability to certify any item as authentic from the moment of its creation. The evolution of this concept enables the creation of both digital and physical certification services designed to protect the owner of the asset—whether tangible or intangible—or the individual who purchases the asset or uses the service.
The Ab Originis platform eliminates any possibility of counterfeiting by adopting the principle of double verification—that is, the generation of a digitized and notarized file and its confirmation through a physical anti-counterfeiting process.
Through this solution, Ab Originis enables the tracking of production chains and prevents the counterfeiting of any product—from food to precious goods, pharmaceuticals, and clothing, all the way to intangible assets such as voice recordings, videos, intellectual concepts, and much, much more.
The certification project begins with verification processes differentiated according to the nature of the activity.
Let us take as an example the evaluation of an application for certification by a company that wants to strengthen its identity by also emphasising ethical elements.
Let's start with the SAQ (Self Assessment Questionnaire), which involves both the company to be certified and the main supplier companies.
Based on the SAQ review, an AUDIT programme is prepared that allows for the verification and review of business steps, which in case of approval allows for the award of AB Originis Certification.
