Product Compliance & Accredited Testing

Security assessment and accredited testing for software, hardware and IoT products under CRA and RED.

Bindsec helps manufacturers and technology providers prepare software, hardware and IoT products for the cybersecurity requirements of the EU Cyber Resilience Act and Radio Equipment Directive. The work covers product classification, architecture and security assessment, technical documentation, remediation validation and conformity readiness. Where accredited RED testing is required, it is performed through an accredited international laboratory partner. The scope is defined according to the product, its intended use, target market and applicable assessment route.

Capabilities

What the work actually is. Scoped to the parts of it you need, at the depth the estate calls for.

CRA Readiness and Conformity Support

  • CRA applicability and product classification
  • Mapping to applicable cybersecurity and vulnerability-handling requirements
  • Secure development, vulnerability-management and update-process review
  • Technical documentation and evidence readiness
  • Gap analysis and remediation validation

Product Cybersecurity Assessment

  • Architecture, threat-model and trust-boundary review
  • Hardware, firmware, software and IoT security testing
  • Authentication, access control, encryption and data-protection review
  • Secure-update mechanisms, exposed interfaces and connected components
  • Remediation testing and validation

Accredited RED Laboratory Testing

  • Identification of applicable RED cybersecurity requirements
  • Definition of laboratory scope and test plan
  • Coordination of samples and technical documentation
  • Testing through an accredited international laboratory partner
  • Findings review and retesting coordination
Business outcome

The product reaches its target market with its cybersecurity obligations understood rather than assumed: classified against the right assessment route, with the gaps closed before they become a conformity problem and the technical documentation an assessor, a distributor or an enterprise buyer will ask for already assembled.

Deliverables

What you actually get. Scoped up front, priced fixed, and delivered by the people who scoped it.

  • 01

    CRA readiness and conformity support

  • 02

    RED testing through an accredited laboratory

  • 03

    Hardware, software and IoT security assessments

How it runs

Four phases, agreed up front. The arc this practice follows, from the scoping call to the check that it held.

01
Classify the product
The product, its intended use, target market and applicable assessment route are established first, because classification is what decides which CRA and RED requirements the rest of the work has to answer.
02
Assess and test
Architecture, firmware, software, interfaces and connected components are reviewed and tested against those requirements, on the product as it will actually ship rather than on the reference design.
03
Evidence and gaps
Gaps come back with owners and effort attached, alongside the secure development, vulnerability-handling and update processes the technical documentation has to evidence.
04
Laboratory and retest
Where accredited RED testing applies, scope, samples and documentation are coordinated with an accredited international laboratory partner, and remediation is retested before the conformity file is closed.
