How EUSEC Medals Are Awarded

EUSEC's medal methodology is built on transparency, consistency, and global benchmarking. Medals are awarded based on validated assessment scores and percentile rankings across all assessed companies.

01

Complete Assessment

Company completes the EUSEC Security Rating assessment covering all four security themes: Governance, Risk Management, Technical Security, and Supply Chain Security.

02

Score Validation

EUSEC analysts validate all responses and supporting documentation. Scores are calculated using the EUSEC methodology with theme-level and overall scores.

03

Global Benchmarking

Validated scores are benchmarked against the global pool of all assessed companies to determine percentile rankings for each medal tier.

04

Medal Awarded

Companies meeting the minimum score thresholds and percentile requirements receive their medal or badge. Digital badges are issued with unique verification codes.

Eligibility Requirements & Medal Rules

Minimum Theme Scores

To be eligible for any medal or badge, companies must achieve a minimum score of 30 in each of the four themes (Governance, Risk Management, Technical Security, Supply Chain Security). This ensures balanced performance across all security domains.

No theme score below 30 = No medal eligibility

Medal Validity Period

EUSEC medals are valid for 12 months from the date of award. Companies must complete a reassessment to maintain their medal status. The validity period is displayed on the digital badge for transparency.

Validity: 12 months | Reassessment required for renewal

Single Medal Rule

Each company can hold only one medal at a time — the highest medal achieved. If a company improves from Silver to Gold, the Silver medal is replaced.

Highest medal only | Automatic upgrade/downgrade

Public Recognition

Medal recipients are listed in the EUSEC Medal Registry (with consent) and receive a press kit including badge assets, certificate, and communication guidelines. Badges include QR codes linking to the live verification page.

Optional public listing | Verification QR code | Press kit included

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a company earn an EUSEC medal?
Companies earn EUSEC medals by completing the EUSEC Security Rating assessment and achieving the required overall score and theme-level minimums. Medals are awarded based on global percentile rankings: Platinum (top 1%), Gold (top 5%), Silver (top 20%), Bronze (top 30%).
How long is an EUSEC medal valid?
EUSEC medals are valid for 12 months from the date of award. Companies must complete a reassessment to maintain or improve their medal status. The validity period is displayed on the digital badge and verification page.
Can a company lose its medal?
Yes. If a company's score drops below the medal threshold during reassessment, or if the medal expires after 12 months without reassessment, the medal is revoked. Companies may also be downgraded (e.g., from Gold to Silver) if their percentile ranking changes.
How can stakeholders verify a company's medal?
Each digital badge includes a unique verification QR code and URL that links to EUSEC's live verification page. Stakeholders can scan the QR code or visit the URL to confirm the medal's authenticity, validity period, and the company's current standing.
Is there a fee for the medal or badge?
There is no separate fee for the medal or digital badge. The medal is included as part of the EUSEC Security Rating assessment. Companies pay for the assessment itself; medals and badges are awarded based on performance at no additional cost.
Can companies use the badge for marketing?
Yes. Medal recipients receive a comprehensive press kit with approved badge assets (PNG, SVG), usage guidelines, and communication templates. Badges may be used on websites, email signatures, sustainability reports, marketing materials, and social media — provided EUSEC's brand guidelines are followed.
