Certifications and authorizations.

The assignment of an investigative task, whether in a corporate or private context, involves the handling of sensitive information and high‑risk personal data. In this scenario, the legal legitimacy of the investigative agency is the essential precondition for the evidence collected to be admissible in civil or criminal proceedings. Arcadia Company operates nationwide, equipped with governmental authorizations and international certifications that attest its full compliance with the most stringent security standards, managerial quality and forensic deontology.

Every investigative activity, from dynamic field observation to digital forensics, is carried out within the strict framework of the Penal Code, Ministerial Decree of 1 December 2010, No. 269, and the European GDPR Regulation 2016/679. This procedural rigor ensures the production of a certified Investigative Dossier, free from formal defects and fully usable before the Judicial Authority to protect the client’s rights.

Authorisation framework and international certifications

Arcadia Company’s institutional architecture is based on formal accreditations issued by State supervisory bodies and third‑party international certification entities:

Prefectural licence under Art. 134 TULPS: legality and operational readiness

Arcadia Company’s daily operations are dependent on possessing and periodically renewing the Prefectural licence issued by the Territorial Office of the Government pursuant to art. 134 of the Unified Text of Public Security Laws (TULPS). This authorisation is not a mere bureaucratic formality, but rather the state certification of the holder’s honorability, financial solvency and proven technical‑legal capability.

The licence ensures the legality of tailings, video‑photographic surveys and investigations aimed at countering marital infidelity, child custody, fraudulent absenteeism or corporate offences. Based with its operational command in Sesto San Giovanni, the agency provides a “zero‑kilometre” emergency response service in the Milan North and Monza‑Brianza areas, guaranteeing timely acquisition of evidence sources in full compliance with criminal procedural rules.

Quality certification UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 (Cert. No. ES-0494/2021)

Arcadia Company aligns all its organisational workflows with the international standard UNI EN ISO 9001:2015, the global reference for Quality Management Systems. Officially validated by the accredited body with Certificate No. ES-0494/2021, this certification attests to the scientific standardisation of every single phase of the investigative process.

The quality protocols require rigorous monitoring of procedures, starting from the preliminary case analysis with issuance of transparent, fee‑free estimates, through protected field data management, up to the final drafting of the technical report. Adoption of the ISO 9001:2015 system minimises operational downtime and eliminates the risk of procedural contingencies, ensuring continuous improvement of inspection performance in exclusive protection of the client’s interest.

NATO security clearance (NOS): government‑level protection

In high‑technology corporate investigations, protection of complex industrial assets and counter‑espionage, information security requires military‑level protocols. Possession of the institutional clearance compliant with NATO and EU standards attests Arcadia Company’s structural and IT suitability for handling documentation and data subject to secrecy and security classification constraints.

This accreditation, granted solely following investigations by the National Security Authorities (DIS – Department of Information for Security), provides multinationals, strategic companies and law firms with certainty that their industrial secrets, patents and confidential corporate data are managed through top‑level cyber and electronic counter‑measures, precluding any possibility of data breach or third‑party interception.

Adherence to the FEDERPOL deontological code

Arcadia Company is an active member of FEDERPOL (Italian Federation of Investigation, Information and Security Institutes), the leading professional association recognised at national and European level. Membership in the federation binds the agency to absolute compliance with the Deontological Code and the sector’s best professional practices.

Participation in the continuous training programmes and permanent regulatory updates promoted by Federpol enables our investigators to operate in constant alignment with legislative changes in labour law, privacy and the evolution of digital forensics, resulting in a guarantee of absolute transparency and ethical integrity for the end‑user.

Concrete advantages of an accredited investigative partner

• Judicial admissibility of evidence: Exclusion of the risk of evidence being rejected in court due to lack of authorisations or violation of chain‑of‑custody rules.
• Tariff transparency: Engagement contracts structured in accordance with the rates filed with the Prefecture, with analytical reports of hours of service rendered.
• Certified data handling: Storage and encryption of evidence according to the protocols established by the GDPR, protecting the confidentiality of the parties involved.
