2026 Q2 certification renewed

Secure Delivery and Video Forensics.
Both systems built and operated by Korven.

Korven is an information security and digital forensics firm that operates two systems in the field. We do not simply license software and step away — we embed inside the client organization's working environment and share multi-year operational responsibility. Clients include government, public institutions, law firms, hospitals, enterprises, and universities on the secure delivery side, and investigative agencies, prosecutors, police, security firms, and executive protection services on the forensics side.

Engagement
Multi-year
The first year focuses on operational stabilization. From the second year onward, recurring procedures are standardized.
Review cycle
Quarterly
An external advisory council reviews operational indicators and incident history every quarter.
Standards
External standards applied as-is
Korven does not author its own standards. We apply the criteria agreed upon by recognized academic and professional bodies.
Operating model
Operations included
We do not stop at delivering a license. We step inside the client's working environment and take part in operations directly.

The two fields Korven covers

Secure Delivery and Video Forensics are both developed in-house by Korven and operated directly inside the client's working environment. Our engagement does not end at license delivery — it extends through quarterly operational reviews and certification mark renewals.

▣ Secure Delivery

A three-tier secure delivery system for sensitive information

Information that must reach only its intended recipient — medical records, legal documents, personnel data, audit reports, internal communications — is delivered through layered encryption and separation of access authority. Deployment is offered on a per-organization lease basis.

Government Public sector Law firms Hospitals Enterprise compliance Universities
  • Tier 1Origination & encryption. The sender is authenticated, and each message is encrypted with a separate key.
  • Tier 2Delivery & authority separation. Messages are personalized per recipient, and display authority is separated. This tier is operated by a different responsible party than Tier 1.
  • Tier 3Access & expiration. The recipient's read timestamp is recorded, and the message is automatically retracted at its set expiration.

▣ Video Forensics

Source verification and authenticity analysis for video

Video and still images are analyzed against forensic standards. The source is verified, authenticity is traced frame by frame, and traces of synthesis or manipulation are detected. Results are documented to the evidentiary standards required in investigative and legal proceedings.

Investigative agencies Prosecutors Police Security firms Executive protection
  • AnalyzeMetadata & consistency. Metadata, codec, resolution, and container consistency are verified.
  • TraceFrame & sync. Statistical consistency across frames and audio-video synchronization are checked.
  • DetectSynthesis & traces. Deepfake and other synthesis signals, including neural network artifacts, are detected.

// Secure Delivery · three-tier architecture
Each tier uses separate keys and is overseen by a separate operating party. If authentication fails at any tier, the next tier's verification must be re-passed before information moves forward.
Tier 1

Origination · message-level encryption

The sender is authenticated and each message is encrypted with a separate key. Once sealed at send time, even the operator cannot view the contents.

Tier 2

Delivery · authority separation

Messages are personalized per recipient and display authority is separated. The party responsible for this tier is a different individual than the Tier 1 responsible party.

Tier 3

Access · trace · expiration

The recipient's read timestamp is recorded, and the message is automatically retracted at its set expiration. The record is retained in an auditable form.

// 02 — Korven certification mark

An operational mark, renewed quarterly

Korven issues a certification mark to its operating client organizations. The mark indicates, externally, that the organization is operating within Korven's operational standard. It is renewed each quarter, and is revoked immediately upon confirmed deviation.

An outward signal of operational result

The mark is not a self-issued certification by Korven. It is the result of applying standards agreed upon by external academic and professional bodies, issued to operating organizations on a quarterly basis.

The mark is renewed in the first week of every quarter. Renewal requires passing operational indicators, incident history, and an advisory council review.

If review is not passed even once, the mark is revoked immediately, and revocation is formally communicated to the operating organization's responsible party. Reissuance restarts at the following quarterly review.

When personnel of an operating organization include the mark on external materials, it signals that those materials were handled within Korven's operational standard.

// 04 — Operating principles

The four principles that guide how Korven works

01

We share the weight of operations.

We do not deliver a solution to a client organization and walk away. Korven steps inside the organization and conducts system operations alongside the team. We carry a portion of the operational responsibility so the organization's staff can focus on their core work.

02

Korven does not author its own standards.

We apply standards agreed upon by international academic and professional bodies, as-is. Korven authors no proprietary standard and issues no self-made certification. The certification mark is issued solely as the result of applied external standards.

03

We do not publish a client list.

Given the nature of security solutions, where an organization deploys and which one it deployed is itself a protected attribute. Case examples are disclosed only with the operating organization's prior consent. Client logos are never placed in marketing materials without permission.

04

An external advisory council reviews us every quarter.

Advisors from legal, information security, and public sectors directly review Korven's operational indicators and incident history each quarter. Confirmed standards deviation triggers an automatic motion to revoke the certification mark. The advisory council holds voting authority separate from Korven staff.

// 05 — Onboarding procedure

From pre-review to quarterly renewal, in four stages

When an organization is judged a poor fit, Korven does not pursue deployment. The pre-review stage incurs no cost.

01

Pre-review

The client organization's data flow, security environment, and legal requirements are reviewed jointly with the Korven advisory council. Suitability is determined at this stage. No cost is incurred.

02

Operational stabilization

The first year after deployment focuses on operational stabilization. The system is fit inside the client's existing workflow, and adjusted to staff usage patterns.

03

Standardization & automation

From the second year, recurring tasks are standardized and selected portions are automated. The work owned by internal staff and the work owned by Korven are clearly demarcated.

04

Quarterly renewal

Each quarter's first week, operational indicators are reviewed alongside the advisory council and the certification mark is renewed. In a quarter where review is not passed, the mark is revoked immediately.

// Advisory council (12 members)

Korven receives standing advice from advisors in the legal (4), information security (5), and public (3) sectors. Each quarter, operational indicators, incident history, and certification renewal are reviewed jointly with the council. The council holds voting authority separate from Korven staff, and may directly motion to revoke the certification mark when standards deviation is confirmed.

Advisors' identities are not disclosed externally at their own request. They are disclosed only to client organizations.

// 07 — Contact

We accept inquiries at the deployment review stage.

Marketing agencies, security solution integrators, and general deployment review parties all submit through the same form. General sales or PR contact is not accepted. Response is sent within three business days, and the pre-review stage is conducted at no cost.
