Common Criteria
DEKRA provides expert product certification services for the Common Criteria international standard and corresponding ISO 15408 standard.
As one of the only product security standards recognized worldwide, Common Criteria (ISO 15408) can be used to certify any IT system or device providing security functions. Additionally, Common Criteria is a market-entry requirement, or a specific security assurance requirement, in some countries.
Our team of project managers and evaluators has more than 25 years of experience in this area and has a demonstrated commitment to independent, reliable cybersecurity testing.
eIDAS Regulation
eIDAS is the European regulation for the certification of trusted services providers.
DEKRA holds ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation and acts as a Certification Assessment Body (CAB) for auditing and certification. Our dedicated team of experts has experience with electronic signature systems, signature certificates, time stamp certificates, electronic delivery, signature preservation, and more.
FIPS 140-3
DEKRA provides expert product certification services for the FIPS 140-3 standard and corresponding ISO 19790 standard. FIPS 140-3 is the standard to certify cryptography implemented in hardware, firmware, and software products, and ISO 19790 is an equivalent standard based on FIPS 140-3.
Our FIPS 140-3 evaluation confirms that the cryptographic model utilized within a security system will effectively protect sensitive information. Our certification laboratory members have more than 20 years of experience in evaluations with all types of cryptographic modules.
IEC 62443
IEC-62443 is a series of standards that secure Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS). It provides a systematic and practical approach to cybersecurity for industrial plants, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and the Internet of Things (IoT). Every stage and aspect of industrial cybersecurity is covered, from risk assessment through operations.
The networking of industrial devices means that their safe operation increasingly depends on protection against security threats. As a result, cybersecurity is an important pillar of overall security and a necessary part of our conformity assessment procedure.
DEKRA is an accredited testing laboratory according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005. We test security on the basis of the DIN IEC 62443 series of standards:
- Secure product development life cycle requirements (DIN EN 62443-4-1)
- Technical security requirements for IACS components (DIN EN 62443-4-2)
- System security requirements and security levels (DIN EN 62443-3-3)
- Security program requirements for IACS service providers (DIN IEC 62443-2-4)
LINCE
LINCE is a CCN lightweight evaluation and certification standard used to certify IT products with low or medium criticality. It includes a limited scope for evaluations in terms of timing and effort, which makes it an attractive option for vendors with time-sensitive requirements.
GSMA NESAS 3GPP
The GSMA Network Equipment Security Assurance Scheme (NESAS) provides security assurance to operators and vendors, ensuring a common baseline security level for the industry. DEKRA’s experienced assessment team provides life cycle process audits and network equipment evaluations for manufacturers
