# Recertification criteria for L'Oréal

Cerby’s recertification process is based on L'Oréal’s security review process to ensure account security and adherence to internal policies. The implemented criteria represent your organization's standards for account access and management.

As an account **Owner**, must complete the recertification process for the following account types:

* [Social media accounts](#social-media-accounts)
* [Business hubs](#business-hubs)

The following sections explain the recertification process for each account type.

### Social media accounts

The following are the social media accounts you must recertify:

* Meta (Instagram and Facebook)
* TikTok
* Pinterest
* X (Twitter)
* Snapchat
* YouTube

The following approaches are considered for the social media accounts:

* **Automatic checks:** Cerby handles checks automatically, using built-in tools to verify compliance without requiring user intervention.
* **Manual checks:** You must manually confirm certain details, ensuring nothing is overlooked.

**Table 1** details the approach for each criterion in the recertification process of your social media accounts in Cerby.
