ETSI EN 303 645 is the first globally applicable cybersecurity standard for IoT devices that establishes a common baseline that covers security and privacy best practices.
“The number of IoT devices is rapidly increasing, and with them, new security challenges and threats. For this reason, we offer our customers new services according to the cybersecurity standard ETSI EN 303 645. Safety and security are a priority for DEKRA, and we are committed to supporting manufacturers to ensure their consumer IoT products are secure and ready to deal with cybersecurity market needs,” said Fernando E Hardasmal, head of service division product testing and executive vice president at Dekra.
The cybersecurity standard ETSI EN 303 645 contains a set of security and privacy requirements and recommendations that manufacturers shall implement in their products to prepare them to be protected against the most common cybersecurity threats. This cybersecurity standard is especially designed for consumer IoT devices such as smart TVs, smart speakers, home assistants, door locks, smoke detectors, baby monitors, connected home appliances like refrigerators and washing machines, or connected alarms systems, among others.
Dekra’s new cybersecurity services for ETSI EN 303 645 include testing to evaluate consumer IoT devices, as well as certification to prove they comply with the requirements defined in the standard by issuing a Dekra Seal. With this seal, customers will demonstrate their products are reliable and secure, as it’s a transparent proof from an independent and neutral body.
Apart from evaluation services, Dekra also offers manufacturers and system integrators, product assessment and training services on how to prepare their devices’ documentation for the security evaluations. Also, a GAP analysis to determine the differences between the current security implementation of the product and the requirements defined in the cybersecurity standard is available at Dekra.
