Hikvision announced that its DeepinView network camera series (iDS-2CD7x) has obtained the EUCC (European Cybersecurity Scheme on Common Criteria) certification, marking the first product in the CCTV camera category worldwide to achieve this milestone. The certification underscores Hikvision's commitment to product security and compliant digital governance.
Certification Details and Process
TrustCB B.V., an independent certification body authorized by the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI), issued the certification. Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity Europe, a globally recognized third-party testing laboratory, performed the comprehensive security evaluation. The evaluation was conducted in compliance with ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) and CEM:2022 R1 standards. The certified iDS-2CD7x series meets the EUCC “Substantial” assurance level, aligned with Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3) augmented with ALC_FLR.2 (Flaw Remediation) requirements.
Significance of EUCC in European Cybersecurity
The EUCC is a newly adopted, highly authoritative product cybersecurity framework in Europe, built on internationally recognized Common Criteria standards. It uses rigorous, independent testing and auditing to systematically verify a product's security capabilities, development processes, and vulnerability management. As the European Union strengthens digital product safety requirements—such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introducing lifetime security demands for “products with digital elements” and the NIS2 Directive imposing stricter cyber duties on critical sectors—the EUCC serves as a trusted benchmark for manufacturers and end-users, providing unified, reliable proof of compliance. It offers an essential reference for sectors with high security requirements, including government, critical infrastructure, energy, and transportation.
Hikvision's Security-by-Design Approach
Achieving the world's first EUCC certification in the camera category reflects Hikvision's structured “Security-by-Design” approach. By integrating rigorous security principles into every phase of the product lifecycle—from conceptualization and R&D to testing, delivery, and ongoing maintenance—the company ensures that device security is proactively managed from the ground up. This certification specifically validates the iDS-2CD7x series' robust security controls in key areas, including identity authentication, access control, secure communications, security auditing, and vulnerability management. By establishing this new benchmark, Hikvision provides a new reference for cybersecurity compliance across the industry and bolsters global customer confidence in its products and solutions.
