Certification is a tool that allows product vendors and service providers to demonstrate and advertise the cybersecurity of their solutions.
By developing cybersecurity certification at EU level, the goal is to harmonise the recognition of the level of cybersecurity of ICT solutions across the Union, allowing vendors and service providers to reach more customers.
EU certification schemes are developed by ENISA within the framework defined in the Cybersecurity Act and taking into account existing schemes and standards.
Voluntary with the goal to empower the EU Digital Single Market, the future schemes may also be encouraged as means to demonstrate compliance to requirements of other legislations. Such other legislation (i.e. eIDAS) may also mandate EU Cybersecurity certification.
