The Badge Lifecycle & Verification

"Your CyberFit Level and certification are a living testament to your ongoing commitment. Badges are valid for a defined period (e.g., 12 months) and require reassessment to maintain your certified Level. This ensures the CyberFit mark remains a current and credible indicator of maturity."

"Each badge includes your organization's name, the achieved CyberFit Level, and optionally, the year or certification ID. We are working towards a public CyberFit Registry for easy verification of all issued CyberFit badges."
