Corporate security consulting in Milan.

In the landscape of contemporary risks, corporate security governance requires a structured, predictive approach based on forensic‑level scientific methodologies. Arcadia Company’s consulting and audit services are aimed at mitigating the multidimensional risks that threaten organizations’ tangible and intangible assets, turning compliance and security into a strategic asset that safeguards business continuity.

The institute operates in compliance with the regular Prefectural License pursuant to art. 134 TULPS and applies a certified quality management system ISO 9001:2015. The risk‑assessment activity and the subsequent implementation of technical and organisational countermeasures are carried out in strict adherence to the civil procedure code, the provisions of the Garante for the protection of personal data, and the European GDPR Regulation 2016/679, providing corporate management with evidential and documentary elements fully admissible in court.

Methodology of risk assessment and asset analysis

Each corporate security consulting engagement presupposes a preliminary gap analysis aimed at mapping and classifying the organization’s informational and infrastructural assets. The process is structured according to strict risk‑assessment protocols:

Design of operational protocols and system audits

The robustness of an integrated security system depends on the adoption of formalised procedures embedded in the organization’s daily workflow. Arcadia Company’s security engineering division translates the findings from the risk assessment into a stringent internal regulatory framework. Detailed protocols are developed for incident management, timely detection of physical and logical intrusions, and operational emergency handling.

Access‑control systems, both physical and logical, are built on the principle of “least privilege”, granting authorization to information and sensitive areas solely based on employees’ actual duties. The implemented policies undergo periodic cyber and physical security audits to verify their resilience against evolving attack vectors and to ensure continuous alignment with sector best practices, providing corporate governance with a documentary framework capable of passing external inspections.

Security intelligence and cyber‑physical vulnerability research

A reactive security approach exposes the enterprise to critical vulnerabilities. For this reason, Arcadia Company’s vulnerability‑research division conducts controlled stress tests on both the digital component (corporate cybersecurity) and physical perimeter defenses, simulating complex threat scenarios. Activities include:

• Vulnerability assessment: In‑depth scans and analyses of network infrastructures, web applications, and industrial SCADA/OT systems to identify logical flaws and configuration errors.
• Intrusion simulations (penetration testing): Controlled attacks carried out both logically and through physical attempts to breach corporate perimeters, to test the responsiveness of surveillance systems and personnel.
• Insider threat analysis: Internal controls and procedural checks aimed at identifying vulnerabilities arising from non‑compliant employee behavior, breaches of corporate loyalty agreements, or gaps in off‑boarding processes.

Cyber‑physical security and electronic sweeps

Due to progressive technological convergence, the integrity of telecommunications and the protection of data in transit constitute a fundamental pillar of corporate security. The audit activity extends to the analysis of communication protocols, corporate Wi‑Fi networks, radio links, and all wireless transmission vectors connecting operational sites to employees’ mobile devices.

To prevent the illicit theft of commercial and industrial secrets, Arcadia Company conducts environmental and telephone electronic sweeps (TSCM). Using forensic analytical equipment (non‑linear junction detectors, spectrum analyzers), the institute’s technicians detect the presence of bugs, concealed interception devices, or unauthorized access points to data flows, extending protection from the server environment to board‑room spaces.

Alignment with the NIS2 Directive and regulatory compliance

The European NIS2 Directive (EU 2022/2555) has significantly broadened the scope of entities required to adopt stringent cybersecurity measures and incident‑notification obligations, sharply tightening the sanction regime for governing bodies. Failure to meet regulatory requirements exposes organizations to administrative fines of up to €10 million or 2 % of global annual turnover, as well as possible temporary suspensions of managerial functions and serious reputational repercussions.

Arcadia Company supports CISOs and corporate boards in the journey to align with the pillars set out by the NIS2 Directive:

1. NIS2 gap analysis: Assessment of the maturity level of information systems against legal requirements and identification of technical and regulatory gaps.

2. Incident management and logging: Structuring incident‑reporting processes to ensure timely threat notification within the mandatory deadlines set by the national authority.

3. Supply chain security: Evaluation of risk arising from relationships with third‑party suppliers and commercial partners, as expressly required by the directive.

4. Business continuity and disaster recovery: Drafting and testing operational continuity plans to ensure infrastructure resilience against large‑scale cyber attacks.

The entire process concludes with the issuance of a final technical report and legal compliance documentation, suitable to demonstrate fulfillment of due‑diligence obligations before the National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN) and in any external audit setting.

Activation of audit services

Entrusting audit and due‑diligence activities to a certified external party guarantees absolute independence and objectivity of the assessments, essential elements for underpinning strategic investment decisions and protecting the civil and criminal liability profiles of corporate management.
