CCLab has joined the FIDO Alliance.
We are proud to announce that CCLab has recently earned the membership of the FIDO Alliance as an Accredited Security Laboratory.
Being the first in Central and Eastern Europe, we are beyond happy to join the Alliance that is working to change the nature of authentication.
These open standards are more secure, simpler for consumers to use, and easier for service providers to manage. Our colleagues have been trained and accredited to consult and evaluate, let us know if you're interested. hashtag#CCLab hashtag#FIDO hashtag#FIDOAlliance hashtag#cclab

Imagine this: weeks from launching a connected device in Europe, hardware set, software frozen, marketing ready, then a wall. A Notified Body flags missing cybersecurity evidence under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED). The fix? A costly, months-long redesign. This happens more often than teams expect. Last-minute failures on cybersecurity aren’t always due to weak security, but missing evidence or test docs RED demands. And it’s not just Europe, globally, security rules are tightening, and buyers are asking tougher questions before contracts. RED’s Articles 3.3(d), 3.3(e), and 3.3(f) are shaping secure-by-design norms worldwide. Manufacturers treating them as a baseline not only pass audits but gain an edge. Embedding these principles early cuts risk, streamlines compliance, and proves to customers that security isn’t an afterthought. Let’s unpack why.

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.

On March 21, 2025, a special event took place at CCLab’s headquarters in Budapest, Hungary: we had the pleasure of welcoming the delegation of WonSec Technology, and together we signed a strategic cooperation agreement focused on the EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria (EUCC). This partnership marks a milestone not only for CCLab but for the broader European certification ecosystem as well. Our joint goal is to support the secure and compliant entry of ICT products and services into the European market, especially in light of the soon-to-be mandatory EUCC requirements.
