More and more companies entrust their critical documents to Certiblok every day.Security, order and collaboration in a single platform.
The product
One platform. Every function integrated.
The document stays yours,
even after you've shared it.
Certiblok DRM® protects every file with granular permissions: who can view, download, forward. Rights travel with the document and can be revoked at any time. Every access is recorded in the document's own DRM® log.
- Granular permissions: view, download, forward
- Instant revocation of access rights
- The document is unique and cannot be altered.
- Audit trail of every open and action
One QR code.
The entire technical file.
QRCube® generates a unique QR code for each product, machine or batch: behind it sits the full technical file, always up to date and blockchain-certified. Inspectors, customers and technicians reach the current version in one tap — no emails, no outdated PDFs.
- Unique QR per product, machine or batch
- Documentation always up to date, never obsolete
- Public or restricted access with configurable permissions
- Compliant with Machinery Reg. 2023/1230 (10-year retention)
When the inspector arrives,
you're already ready.
Audit Rooms create sealed document rooms you can share with expiry. The inspector only accesses the files you authorise — without your corporate credentials. The final report is immutable, blockchain-certified, usable in litigation.
- Sealed room generated in 30 seconds
- Inspector access without corporate credentials
- Final report blockchain-certified (immutable hash)
- Ideal for ISO 27001, Machinery Reg., M&A due diligence
142 safety data sheets.
All distributed. All tracked.
SDS Manager automates the full lifecycle of REACH Safety Data Sheets: update, distribution to customers, receipt notification and certified archiving. EU Reg. 2020/878 compliance, demonstrable at a glance.
- Automatic update on every SDS revision
- Multi-customer distribution with receipt confirmation
- Distribution-status dashboard for every sheet
- REACH fines €10–60k: zero residual risk
Ransomware strikes
where the file exists whole.
Your centralised backup is exactly the preferred target of modern ransomware. Certiblok shards each file across 26,000 nodes: there's no single point to encrypt. The attack never reaches its destination.
- 80 shards per file, distributed across 26,000 EU nodes
- AES-256-GCM: client-side encryption before upload
- Selective file restore in seconds, not hours
- NIS2 evidence: immutable log of every backup event
It lives next to your ERP.
Not instead of it.
Fully documented REST API, enterprise SSO with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Google Workspace, over 300 endpoints to orchestrate documents, audits, signatures and QR Cube. Ferritalia serves 28,000 customers and 11 group companies with zero manual steps.
- REST API with 300+ endpoints (OpenAPI 3.0) and API-key authentication
- Enterprise Single Sign-On: Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Google Workspace
- Dedicated staging environment for integration development and testing
- Direct import from Google Drive, Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive
- Integration with any ERP via REST and custom middleware (SAP, Dynamics 365, Oracle, TeamSystem on a project basis)
Why Certiblok
Four differentiators no generalist cloud can match.
01
Decentralised storage, not a hyperscaler
26,000 nodes. No central server to attack. Your documents stay in Europe, by law and by architecture.
02
Document compliance as a product, not a feature
Machinery Reg., REACH, NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001: every module is built around a specific regulation, not bolted on as a checkbox to generic storage.
03
Audit-ready in 30 seconds, not 3 weeks
Audit Rooms generate sealed document rooms in real time. When the inspector arrives, you're already ready — not still pulling files from five different folders.
04
Integration that actually works
Documented REST API, webhooks, enterprise SSO with Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Google Workspace. Certiblok doesn't replace your ERP: it adds a compliance layer on top.

Calculate the CO₂ you save with Certiblok
Storing data has a real environmental cost: corporate servers and hyperscale clouds burn energy 24/7 to keep online information that, in most cases, is rarely accessed.
Certiblok distributes your documents across a decentralized network that reuses existing storage capacity, drastically cutting CO₂ emissions compared to traditional architectures.
- Compare Certiblok in real time vs cloud and on-prem servers
- Based on verifiable LCA parameters (NRDC, IBM, Seagate, IDC)
- Result shown in kg of CO₂ and equivalent car kilometres
Calculation formula (Certiblok 2024)
CO₂ = (EMC − EMD) × C × (T / 3)
EMC = Emissions of traditional mode (kg CO₂ / TB / 3 years)
EMD = Certiblok emissions (kg CO₂ / TB / 3 years) = 112 kg
C = Capacity in TB · T = Years of retention
EMD = Certiblok emissions (kg CO₂ / TB / 3 years) = 112 kg
C = Capacity in TB · T = Years of retention
How the Certiblok value is calculated (112 kg CO₂ / TB / 3 years)
The value reflects the real network composition — a weighted mix of three node categories:
Standard nodes — already-powered, unused capacity (21% of the network)2,0 kg CO₂/TB/a
Reused nodes — old drives brought back online (20.8% of the network)15,8 kg CO₂/TB/a
New nodes — new drives added to the network (58.2% of the network)18,7 kg CO₂/TB/a
Weighted average (real network) × 3 years= 112 kg CO₂ / TB
The Certiblok expansion factor is 2.7× (Reed-Solomon 80/29), against 3–4× for traditional systems. Estimated utilization: 85% (Certiblok) vs 40% (on-prem) and 75% (hyperscaler).
