Who can get certified
Product Vendors and Service Providers
- EUCC – manufacturers or providers who wish to assess the security quality of their ICT products through third party certification
How to get certified
- Determine the Appropriate Scheme: Currently, the only available scheme for certifying your ICT product is EUCC.
- Apply to a Conformity Assessment Body (CAB): Engage with an accredited CAB and where applicable authorized by the NCCA to conduct evaluations and certifications under the chosen scheme.
- Undergo Evaluation: Work with the CAB to complete the necessary evaluation processes which may include vulnerability assessments, security function testing, and compliance checks.
- Obtain Certification: Upon successful evaluation, the NCCA will issue a certification, verifying that your product or service meets the required cybersecurity standards.
Benefits of certification
EU Cybersecurity certificates are granted to Certified ICT products and services against EU Cybersecurity certification schemes.
They demonstrate that the tested solutions are resistant to certain levels of attacks, set remediation processes while considering the latest state-of-the-art developments.
They are recognized across the Union and allow product vendors and service providers to showcase the compliance of their solution to a specific scheme, level of assurance, scope and potentially extension or security profiles.
EU-Wide Recognition
Certifications are recognized across all EU member states, facilitating easier market access.
Competitive Advantage
Obtaining certification enhances a company’s reputation, showcasing its commitment to cybersecurity and helping it stand out from competitors. As consumers increasingly prefer secure, certified products, businesses gain a marketing edge that can lead to greater success in the marketplace.
Enhanced Trust
Certification provides a transparent indication of security assurance, boosting confidence among customers and business partners.
Consumer Protection
Certified products give consumers clear and transparent information about their security levels, allowing them to make informed decisions. This heightened security helps protect users from data breaches, privacy issues, and financial losses, ensuring a safer digital experience.
Harmonization across the EU
European cybersecurity certification promotes a unified cybersecurity approach across the EU, reducing fragmentation and simplifying compliance. This harmonized system reduces the regulatory burden for businesses, allowing them to navigate a single certification process rather than multiple national schemes.
Increased Resilience
The certification schemes encourage companies to adopt cybersecurity best practices, reducing vulnerabilities and cyber incidents, and improving overall resilience against threats. This could potentially result to significant cost savings, as companies avoid potential fines, legal expenses, and reputational damage.
