Common Criteria
consultation, ISO 15408 support
If you are looking for a Common Criteria expert, who can help
you get prepared and easily get over the difficulties of the certification process,
then you are at the right place.
EUCC, the New Cybersecurity Scheme will be effective from the end of February 2025.
Start your CC certification project in 2024 to get it certified faster before EUCC enforcement begins.
Developers/Sponsors should be aware that the existing CC national schemes will accept applications by the end of 2024; however, the certification processes must be finalized by February 2027. It is high time to start your CC certification project ASAP with the existing, well-known processes to save time and extra effort.
These new CC certificates which will be issued by the existing national schemes will also remain valid for 5 years even after the EUCC scheme is in operation from February 27th, 2025. From February 27th, 2025, the current national cybersecurity certification schemes will cease operation.

Testimonials
Kenneth Lasoski
Versa Networks
Evaluation team was extremely reasonable and flexible with resolution to findings and was helpful in finding agreeable solutions for CB comments. Consultation team was always responsive and helped shape the documentation for easier evaluation, and provided useful recommendations on satisfying SFR/SARs.
Thierry Bonda
Landis+Gyr
CCLab was well prepared, flexible during the whole evaluation process, and supported us with continuous communication and guidance. Many lessons were learnt during the project and CCLab has always been looking for solutions, supporting our developers the best way they could. The new Swiss evaluation methodology was a good and professional basis to work with, but both parties had to learn how to deal with it.

We needed a lab that works quickly but with high work morale and quality of work. CCLab is exactly like that! It was good cooperation experience to work with them. The project was rather complex and our expectations maybe even too high, but the team was committed to the common goals and could keep the milestones; therefore we were able to deliver what was needed. I highly recommend CCLab team to anyone for their great team spirit, quality orientations, agility and reasonable pricing.
