It proved to be a good decision to continue our workshop on Common Criteria on 9th June 2022. Many professionals attended to get first-hand information and updates from the world of CC and there has also been a lot of interest in CCGuide, our new educational material. Once again we made the presentations available on-demand to those who were unable to attend.
With many years of experience behind us, we also faced several challenges from our clients, which gave us the idea to organize a workshop onCommon Criteria last autumn. Our goal was to provide useful information and consultancy in preparing for Common Criteria evaluation. However, the world of CC is constantly changing, so the next workshop on this topic seemed necessary.
We have now tried to approach the topic of our workshop from several perspectives. Therefore in addition to CCLab’s experts, we invited as a guest speaker Mr. Hendrik Dettmer from TÜV Trust-IT, to speak about the expected changes related to the EUCC, and Mr. Marc Le Guin from TÜViT to share his experiences with BSI.
What could the participants learn?
- The future role of national schemes – dr. Katalin Szűcs
- Latest updates on EUCC scheme – Hendrik Dettmer
- BSI vs. OCSI- differences between the German and Italian scheme – Bence Szabó & Marc Le Guin
- Best practices for Common Criteria- zero to hero– Jonatán Bodó
- Introducing CCGuide, our new educational tool –Dániel Király

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.

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.

On March 21, 2025, a special event took place at CCLab’s headquarters in Budapest, Hungary: we had the pleasure of welcoming the delegation of WonSec Technology, and together we signed a strategic cooperation agreement focused on the EU Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria (EUCC). This partnership marks a milestone not only for CCLab but for the broader European certification ecosystem as well. Our joint goal is to support the secure and compliant entry of ICT products and services into the European market, especially in light of the soon-to-be mandatory EUCC requirements.
