The approval process begins with planning activities where the scope of the evaluation is defined. The scope is determined based on the product's functionality, connectivity, intended use and the selected cyber security standard.
Electronic product compliance
Cyber security approval of products with digital elements
Get independent testing and approval of products with digital elements against recognised cyber security standards, providing documented evidence of implemented security measures.
Connected products operate in environments where permanent connectivity, remote access and software dependencies increase exposure to cyber threats. Manufacturers, product owners and QA teams therefore need reliable evaluation of whether implemented security mechanisms function as intended.
Undetected vulnerabilities create product uncertainty
Without structured testing and documented evaluation, vulnerabilities may remain undetected, and security mechanisms may not operate as expected. Cyber security approval involves independent testing and evaluation of products with digital elements, helping organisations protect connected products against cyber attacks and document the security solutions implemented. Our specialists have extensive experience in electronics and cyber security and actively participate in international standardisation work within cyber security. The service is part of our catalogue within electronic product compliance.
Challenges
When connected products operate in exposed network environments, unresolved cyber security weaknesses create uncertainty about product behaviour and security risks.
Connected devices are exposed to cyber threats
Software and connected products interact continuously with networks, cloud services and other digital systems. This connectivity increases exposure to cyber attacks where attackers may attempt to exploit weaknesses in authentication mechanisms, software components or communication interfaces.
Unidentified vulnerabilities create uncertainty
If vulnerabilities are not systematically examined, organisations may lack a clear understanding of how the product behaves when exposed to realistic cyber threats. This uncertainty complicates internal risk assessments, product documentation and technical discussions with customers and partners.
Missing security evidence delays decisions
When cyber security mechanisms are implemented but not independently tested or documented, organisations may lack the technical evidence required for internal approval processes, customer reviews or product documentation.
