Cybersecurity Compliance in Focus: RED Enforcement & EUCC Certification Shaping Q2 2025
The second quarter of 2025 was shaped by growing urgency around cybersecurity compliance in the EU, with the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) taking center stage. As the enforcement date of August 1 approaches, manufacturers must ensure that connected and radio-enabled products meet the new cybersecurity requirements defined under Articles 3.3(d), (e), and (f). In response to this, we published a detailed blog post outlining what these obligations mean in practice, covering areas such as network protection, data privacy, and fraud prevention. To support manufacturers in navigating the RED compliance process, we also released a clear and actionable infographic summarizing the seven essential steps, from identifying relevant requirements and applying EN 18031 parts 1, 2, or 3, to preparing technical documentation, running functional tests, and managing ongoing compliance after CE marking. In parallel, our experts-led webinar on the evolving RED cybersecurity landscape is now available on demand, offering further insights on how to navigate compliance, fortify device security, and stay ahead in an increasingly interconnected market.
Alongside the RED focus, EUCC certification gained increased relevance. In March, CCLab entered into a strategic partnership with WonSec Technology to jointly support EUCC certification efforts. This international collaboration combines global expertise to help manufacturers achieve EU-wide cybersecurity certification. Additionally, we also published a free flyer specifically for ESG software with EUCC Certification, highlighting how cybersecurity and sustainability goals align to enhance data protection, ensure legal compliance, and build stakeholder trust.

Cybersecurity in RED: Adapting to Article 3.3(d), (e), and (f) Requirements
With growing cybersecurity threats in the EU, the obligations of cybersecurity in RED focus on three key areas: network protection, data privacy, and fraud prevention. From August 1, 2025, compliance with these new requirements under RED Article 3.3 (d), (e), and (f) becomes mandatory for many types of connected and radio-enabled products.
Here’s what you’ll learn in the full post:
- What each article means in practice
- Types of Equipment Affected by Articles 3.3(d), (e), and (f)
- How manufacturers can ensure compliance
- How can CCLab help?
Understanding the implications of RED in the EU is essential for manufacturers aiming to place secure and compliant radio equipment on the European market. This includes implementing technical safeguards, secure communication, access controls, and robust identity verification systems.
Failure to comply is more than a regulatory risk. It’s a reputational and business threat. By working with experienced cybersecurity labs like CCLab, manufacturers can navigate these changes confidently, ensuring their products are not only compliant but also secure, trusted, and future-ready.
Ensure your products are compliant, secure, and market-ready.
Strategic Partnership for Cybersecurity – CCLab and WonSec Technology Join Forces for EUCC Certification
On March 21, 2025, CCLab proudly welcomed a delegation from Wonsec Technology to its Budapest headquarters, where a strategic cooperation agreement was signed focusing on the EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria (EUCC).
This partnership is a significant milestone not only for CCLab but for the entire European certification ecosystem. Together, we aim to support manufacturers and service providers in securely and compliantly entering the European market, especially with the upcoming mandatory EUCC requirements on the horizon.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to transform homes, workplaces, and industries, the cybersecurity risks associated with connected devices have grown exponentially. Recognizing this, the European Union has revised the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) to introduce critical cybersecurity provisions. In particular, Articles 3.3(d), (e), and (f) of the RED mandate manufacturers to design radio equipment that protects networks, ensures personal data privacy, and prevents fraud.These updates reflect a broader EU effort to safeguard digital ecosystems and align technological innovation with user trust and security. For manufacturers of wireless and radio-connected devices, understanding and implementing these cybersecurity requirements is no longer optional – it’s a regulatory obligation. For organizations like CCLab, which guide clients through Common Criteria (CC) evaluations and RED compliance, these changes highlight the growing intersection of product security and legal conformity.
The Future of EUCC Certification for ESG Software

As the demand for corporate accountability continues to surge, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) software has taken center stage in how companies collect, manage, and disclose sustainability data. With regulatory frameworks tightening across the EU and globally, ESG software vendors must now consider cybersecurity not just as a technical necessity but as a cornerstone of ESG integrity. At the heart of this transformation is the EUCC (European Union Cybersecurity Certification) framework—an emerging standard that ensures the secure design, deployment, and maintenance of digital products, including ESG platforms. In this article, we’ll explore why EUCC certification is becoming a critical benchmark for ESG software, how it reinforces security and compliance, and how CCLab can streamline the path to successful certification.

As Europe advances its digital transformation agenda, securing its technological infrastructure has become a top priority. At the center of this ambition lies the European cybersecurity certification ecosystem. Most notably, the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC). Designed to harmonize security assurance practices across EU member states, EUCC is the first concrete step under the EU Cybersecurity Act to create a unified framework for certifying ICT products and services. But while EUCC represents a major achievement in digital sovereignty, a crucial question remains: Is it enough? This article explores what the European Cybersecurity Certification does well, where its current limitations lie, and what additional steps are necessary to create a truly resilient cybersecurity landscape across Europe.
