DEKRA expands its cybersecurity services by incorporating product testing and certification according to the ETSI EN 303 645 cybersecurity standard. Created by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), this is the first globally applicable cybersecurity standard for communication devices. Consumer IoT , and the first to establish a common foundation covering security and privacy best practices. Manufacturers interested in demonstrating that their devices meet the requirements of ETSI EN 303 645 can count on DEKRA to assess their products.
IoT devices is growing very rapidly, and with them, new threats and security challenges. For this reason, we offer our clients new cybersecurity services according to the ETSI EN 303 645 standard. Security is DEKRA’s priority, and we are committed to supporting manufacturers to ensure that their consumer IoT devices are secure and ready for use. address the cybersecurity needs of the market”, declared Fernando E. Hardasmal , Executive Vice President of DEKRA’s Product Testing and Certification Division.
DEKRA’s new cybersecurity services include evaluations of IoT devices according to the specifications defined in the ETSI EN 303 645 standard, as well as certification services through the issuance of a DEKRA Seal . This seal, being issued by an independent and neutral body such as DEKRA, allows manufacturers to demonstrate that their products are reliable and safe.
In addition to testing and certification, DEKRA also makes training services available to customers on how to prepare the necessary documentation to request evaluation according to the ETSI EN 303 645 standard, as well as product audits and GAP analysis to determine the differences between the requirements. defined in the standard and the current security measures implemented in the product.
The ETSI EN 303 645 cybersecurity standard contains a set of security and privacy requirements and recommendations that manufacturers must implement in their products to prepare them to be protected against the most common cybersecurity threats. It is specially designed for IoT consumer devices such as Smart TVs, smart speakers, smart locks, smoke detectors, baby monitors, and smart home devices such as refrigerators, washing machines, alarms, and more.
“Connected devices can be vulnerable and exposed to cyber attacks if they don’t have security measures in place to help them deal with these threats. The ETSI EN 303 645 standard proposes a series of good security practices that, if implemented in all IoT devices , would lead to the existence of a safer IoT ecosystem”, added Rubén Lirio, Director of Cybersecurity of the Division of Testing and Certification of DEKRA Products.
