We are proud to announce that Securosys SA successfully gained EAL 4+ CC certificate for Primus HSM FW 2.8.21 Series E, Series X .
Primus X-Series HSMs are secure and tamper-proof network security appliances, they are ideally suited to fulfill the highest requirements in high availability systems. Multiple HSMs can be grouped together as clusters across different datacenters, countries, or even continents to provide load balancing and fail-over.
The complete CC evaluation project started last year with an intensive consulting phase. Once all the documents and the product itself were ready, the evaluation phase went smoothly with a great collaboration with Securosys developers.
“It was a pleasure to work with CClab, they were very professional in supporting us to achieve a successful certification. We are also planning the next evaluation project with them; preparations have already started.” - Marcel Dasen, VP Engineering Securosys
Having some challenges due to the pandemic, we managed to conduct a successful evaluation project with remote access.
“Although we couldn’t do an in-person site visit, the development team managed to go to their office and show us remotely how the security measures were applied. Together we identified some issues that were pro-actively fixed, making both the developer area and TOE more secure. Working together and having remote meetings on demand also helped enormously to make the certification process go as smooth as possible and we are looking forward to more projects together. Let’s keep up the good work and make the world more secure together!” - Imre Fodor, Head of Laboratory
Congratulations for the certification!

In an increasingly interconnected world, cybersecurity has become more than just a technical requirement, it's a critical shield protecting organizations from potential digital threats. Common Criteria (CC), an internationally recognized standard also known as ISO/IEC 15408, emerges as a comprehensive framework that meticulously evaluates the security properties of IT products and systems. This international standard provides a structured approach to assessing technological security, offering governments, enterprises, and technology developers a robust methodology for understanding and validating the security mechanisms embedded within their digital solutions. Moreover, Common Criteria serves as a critical benchmark, ensuring that technological products meet rigorous security standards before entering the marketplace.

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.
