Hikvision Achieves Historic EUCC Certification for Its Network Cameras
In a groundbreaking achievement for digital security, Hikvision has announced that its DeepinView series of network cameras, designated iDS-2CD7x, has successfully acquired the EUCC (European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme) certification. This event marks a significant milestone as these cameras become the first in the world within the video surveillance category to achieve such a prestigious recognition, underscoring Hikvision's commitment to robust product security and digital governance compliance.
Independent Verification and Compliance
The certification was issued by TrustCB B.V., an independent certification body authorized by the Netherlands Digital Infrastructure Authority (RDI). The rigorous security evaluation was conducted by Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity Europe, a globally recognized external testing laboratory. This certification process adhered to the standards outlined in ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) and CEM2022 R1. The iDS-2CD7x series achieved a “Substantial” assurance level, aligned with Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3), augmented with ALC_FLR.2 (Flaw Remediation) requirements.
Navigating the European Cybersecurity Landscape
The EUCC is a recently adopted and highly authoritative product cybersecurity framework in Europe, built upon internationally recognized Common Criteria (CC) standards. It utilizes rigorous and independent testing and audits to systematically verify a product’s security capabilities, development processes, and vulnerability management practices. As the European Union actively strengthens security obligations for digital products—illustrated by the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the NIS2 Directive that impose stricter cybersecurity duties on critical sectors—the EUCC emerges as a reliable benchmark. It provides both manufacturers and end-users with a unified proof of compliance, essential for sectors demanding high security standards such as government, critical infrastructure, energy, and transportation.
Emphasizing Security by Design
In today’s interconnected digital environment, cybersecurity has transitioned from a supplementary feature to a fundamental pillar of trust. By achieving the world’s first EUCC certification within the camera category, Hikvision demonstrates a structured approach to “Security by Design.” This philosophy integrates rigorous security principles at every phase of the product lifecycle—from conceptualization and R&D through testing, delivery, and ongoing maintenance—ensuring proactive management of device security right from the start.
This certification validates Hikvision's stringent security controls in pivotal areas such as identity authentication, access control, secure communications, security auditing, and vulnerability management. By setting this new benchmark, Hikvision not only establishes a reference point for cybersecurity compliance across the sector but also enhances global customer confidence in its products and solutions.
