ARCHON engagements are structured around the GAIA methodology — a proprietary enterprise transformation system developed by Dimitrios Mikedis over 15+ years of live implementations. GAIA is not publicly downloadable. It underpins the strategic frameworks, assessment models and governance structures referenced throughout this portfolio.

ISO/IEC 27001 is the international standard for Information Security Management Systems (ISMS). Dimitrios Mikedis has applied ISO 27001 governance frameworks across multiple enterprise programs, achieving zero major findings over a 15-year audit record spanning PwC, EY and KPMG engagements.
