What is TÜV SÜD IoT cybersecurity certification?

The Internet of Things (IoT) has gained importance in recent years for not just industry but also for consumer use. This introduces the challenges of keeping data safe from hackers and other bad actors. This is why we need to assess an IoT system holistically by looking at the entire system from the front-end app to the back end or cloud solution. 

To perform such holistic assessment and help IoT manufacturers develop secure products, TÜV SÜD has established the TÜV SÜD Cybersecurity Certified (CSC) certification. This serves as a trusted seal of quality that gives consumers the confidence that the product is secure. In turn, it helps businesses enjoy consumer trust and gain an advantage in the competitive global marketplace.

Why TÜV SÜD IoT cybersecurity certification is important

IoT cybersecurity certification helps you prove the security of your Consumer IoT (CIoT) products and provides your customer with greater confidence. It will also give you a competitive advantage as the proven security of your product sets you apart from other manufacturers. It will help you compete with other well-established security products that have already been evaluated. 

IoT cybersecurity certification also helps you minimise risks and identify vulnerabilities. It reveals areas of problems and potential security gaps and provides effective solutions. It pre-empts problems that may cause serious damage to a company's reputation. 

How TÜV SÜD can help you with IoT cybersecurity certification

TÜV SÜD provides a manufacturer-independent IoT cybersecurity certification based on international standards such as ETSI EN 303 645. We conduct comprehensive testing of the IoT product and its development process for complete cyber security and protection. Our experts ensure continuous quality optimisation via knowledge-sharing between TÜV organisations.
