This accreditation allows SERMA to evaluate critical infrastructure and cybersecurity solutions, marking a key milestone in European digital sovereignty.
SERMA Safety and Security has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first laboratory accredited under the new European Union Common Criteria (EUCC) security framework by ANSSI, the French National Cybersecurity Agency. This recognition enables SERMA to assess both hardware and software products under EUCC, contributing to Europe’s efforts to harmonise cybersecurity standards and strengthen its digital sovereignty.
A pioneering role in EU cybersecurity certification
On March 13, 2025, during the European Cybersecurity Certification Conference in Warsaw, SERMA Safety and Security made history by conducting evaluations that led to the first-ever EUCC certificates issued in Europe. These certificates, issued by ANSSI and valid for five years, mark a crucial step towards a unified European cybersecurity certification system.
With this accreditation, SERMA now holds the authority to assess critical systems and cybersecurity solutions for various industries, including:
- Embedded systems in sensitive infrastructures such as energy, transport, and telecommunications
- Cybersecurity solutions for both industrial and institutional sectors
A leading global player in cybersecurity evaluation
Ranked among the top five security laboratories worldwide and the second-best globally for Common Criteria evaluations, SERMA Safety and Security’s latest accreditation further solidifies its standing as a leading provider of cybersecurity assessments. The lab’s technical excellence, along with its deep understanding of security requirements, has earned it multiple prestigious qualifications and certifications.
The company’s new EUCC accreditation empowers it to play a pivotal role in the transition towards stronger and more unified cybersecurity standards across Europe. With cyber threats continuously evolving, this certification scheme serves as a crucial mechanism to enhance trust and security across the continent.
