New Protection Profile for Smart Meters
1
min reading time
The new PP was developed and published in November 2019 by Ad-Hoc Group Privacy & Security of the CEN/CENELEC/ETSI Coordination Group on Smart Meters.
The latest PP document is available on the Common Criteria Portal.
As the number of IoT and specifically smart metering products have been increasing recently all over the world, it will be a great help for factories, producers and also for clients who intend to use these kinds of products in the future. The PP includes a detailed description of all the minimum security requirements which should be met by any smart metering product available on the market.
Why do we like it so much?
- It supports the requirements of all stakeholders. The Protection Profile is based on wide industrial collaboration.
- It is practical and easy to use. The usability, quality, and robustness are supported by CEN/CENELEC/ETSI and Common Criteria.
- Certify once, sell many times. Common Criteria means mutual recognition that can be a huge benefit for manufacturers, utilities, regulatory authorities, and citizens.
CCLAB has great experience in CC evaluations and smart metering devices.
With the clear Protection Profile CCLAB will keep on providing the most effective and shortest possible evaluation projects on the highest professional level for its clients.

From Standards to Trust: How Common Criteria Shapes Cybersecurity Assurance
In an increasingly interconnected world, cybersecurity has become more than just a technical requirement, it's a critical shield protecting organizations from potential digital threats. Common Criteria (CC), an internationally recognized standard also known as ISO/IEC 15408, emerges as a comprehensive framework that meticulously evaluates the security properties of IT products and systems. This international standard provides a structured approach to assessing technological security, offering governments, enterprises, and technology developers a robust methodology for understanding and validating the security mechanisms embedded within their digital solutions. Moreover, Common Criteria serves as a critical benchmark, ensuring that technological products meet rigorous security standards before entering the marketplace.

Is EUCC Enough? Addressing Gaps in European Cybersecurity Certification
As Europe advances its digital transformation agenda, securing its technological infrastructure has become a top priority. At the center of this ambition lies the European cybersecurity certification ecosystem. Most notably, the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC). Designed to harmonize security assurance practices across EU member states, EUCC is the first concrete step under the EU Cybersecurity Act to create a unified framework for certifying ICT products and services. But while EUCC represents a major achievement in digital sovereignty, a crucial question remains: Is it enough? This article explores what the European Cybersecurity Certification does well, where its current limitations lie, and what additional steps are necessary to create a truly resilient cybersecurity landscape across Europe.
