Interoperability, security, durability, reliability, usability In the development, planning and designing security printed matter stage, the company com-plies with the following objectives: interoperability, security, durability, reliability and usability. The result of combining graphic and information technology are the most demanding global-oriented projects that can be quickly adapted to different environments. In addition to graphic security elements, Cetis also develops software for managing personal data and functions as a system integrator. Cetis offers buyers all-in-one solutions. The company is aware that innova-tion is the condition for long-term success. The work of Cetis innovators has been awarded many times, and what is most important, it has received approval in the market.

Competitive advantageThe company is based on several decades of development of security printed matter and soft-ware for managing personal data. The first Slovenian passport and the first Slovenian money were manufactured at Cetis. Cetis produces and personifies documents, bank cards and lottery games. The Cetis systems for capturing and storing data are in operation at Slovene represen-tations abroad and in some African countries. The company enjoys the trust of the most distin-guished Slovene and foreign institutions, such as the government of the Republic of Slovenia, banks, insurance companies, telecommunications, and lottery companies at home and abroad.

Strict security policy The nature of the work at Cetis also require the strictest compliance with security policy.

Cetis security multilayer for paper data page

csm

Cetis security multilayer protection for a passport data page provides optimum security for travel documents against forgery. It differs from other data page protections by its touch verification feature. CSM disintegrates by chemicals or temperature in case of an attempt to breach personal data. An attempt at fraud is visible to the naked eye.
