Aegryn Certification
Aegryn Certification.
A quality label

The CIFSO protocol — 5 dimensions
One grade, five truths.
Capital & IP
Code, intellectual property, brand, proprietary data, chain of title. All intangible assets that form the transferable value.
Integrity & Governance
Legal structure, cap table, regulatory compliance, client/supplier contracts, disputes, IP chain. The legal and organisational soundness of the entity.
Finance & Metrics
ARR/MRR, recurring revenue, auditability, cashflow, burn, client concentration, financial history. The economic reality of the organisation.
Security & Sovereignty
Cybersecurity, NIS2/DORA/EU AI Act compliance, technological independence, GDPR. Resilience against digital and regulatory risks.
Organisation & Talent
Founder dependency, management team quality, succession plan, culture and retention. Organisations too dependent on their founder are systematically worth 20-30% less at transfer.
