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.

The EUCC (EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria) is the European Union’s new cybersecurity certification framework, set to gradually replace fragmented national schemes starting in 2025. Its purpose is to establish a unified, high-security standard for ICT products across the EU. Built upon the international Common Criteria standard, EUCC strengthens requirements around data protection, supply chain security, and vulnerability analysis - raising the bar for manufacturers and developers worldwide.
CCLab and WonSec Technology: combining expertise across continents
CCLab is among the first evaluation facilities officially authorized by the EU to conduct EUCC assessments. With over a decade of experience in Common Criteria evaluations and consultancy, we are proud to support global clients with a trusted and professional approach.
Our partner, WonSec Technology, is a leading digital security and certification provider in China, with extensive experience and technological strength. Through this collaboration, we aim to jointly assist manufacturers and developers preparing for the European market and striving to meet the demanding EUCC criteria.

This agreement is more than a partnership, it is a shared commitment to global cybersecurity. We believe that international cooperation and knowledge exchange are essential to building a secure and sustainable digital economy.
At CCLab, we remain committed to delivering reliable, high-quality certification services in cooperation with our partners - not only in Europe, but worldwide.

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is a landmark EU regulation that establishes a horizontal framework for the cybersecurity of products with digital elements (hardware and software). This sweeping EU cybersecurity law represents a massive shift for the industry. Its goal is to ensure that products are placed on the market without known exploitable vulnerabilities and that manufacturers remain responsible for cybersecurity throughout the product's entire lifecycle. With all requirements of the CRA becoming fully applicable on December 11, 2027, the window for preparation is closing. Manufacturers who view this simply as a regulatory hurdle are missing a critical opportunity. By prioritizing CRA readiness now, you can transform a mandatory product compliance strategy into a distinct market differentiator.
