Hikvision's Groundbreaking EUCC Certification Sets New Industry Standard for Network Cameras

Hikvision's Path to Cybersecurity Excellence

In a significant leap for the cybersecurity landscape in Europe, Hikvision has proudly announced that its DeepinView network camera series, specifically the iDS-2CD7x models, has earned the prestigious EUCC (The European Cybersecurity Scheme on Common Criteria) certification. This accomplishment not only positions Hikvision as a pioneer in the CCTV camera sector but also underscores the company's steadfast commitment to enhancing product security in an increasingly digital world.

What is EUCC Certification?

The EUCC certification is administered by TrustCB B.V., an independent body recognized by the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI). The evaluation process conducted by Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity Europe—a renowned third-party testing laboratory—was meticulous. It followed the ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) and CEM2022 R1 standards, ensuring that the certified iDS-2CD7x cameras comply with the EUCC “Substantial” assurance level, akin to Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3), including additional Flaw Remediation (ALC_FLR.2) requirements.

Achieving this certification reflects Hikvision's dedication to maintaining high standards in product development and security, standing out in an industry where digital threats are ever-present.

Navigating a New Cybersecurity Landscape

The EUCC framework is a response to the growing need for robust cybersecurity measures in Europe. It is built upon internationally recognized Common Criteria standards, which involve independent testing and audits to assess a product's security capabilities, development processes, and vulnerability management. Given the European Union's initiatives, such as the recently introduced Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) mandating security for products with digital elements, the EUCC stands as a vital benchmark for manufacturers and users alike.

This stringent framework provides uniform and trustworthy proof of compliance, which is particularly crucial for industries like government, critical infrastructure, and transportation that must adhere to high security standards.
