Hikvision has announced that its DeepinView network cameras, specifically the iDS-2CD7x series, have received the EUCC (European Cybersecurity Scheme on Common Criteria) certification. This achievement marks the world's first instance of a CCTV camera being awarded this certification. It underscores Hikvision's focus on enhancing product security and adhering to strict digital governance protocols.
TrustCB B.V., an independent certification body authorized by the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI), issued the certification. The security evaluation was conducted by Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity Europe, a well-established third-party testing laboratory. This comprehensive assessment adhered to ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) and CEM:2022 R1 standards, and concluded that the iDS-2CD7x series meets the EUCC "Substantial" assurance level, which aligns with Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3) and includes ALC_FLR.2 (Flaw Remediation) requirements.
EUCC standards and cybersecurity
The EUCC framework represents a modern, robust cybersecurity standard in Europe, based on the globally recognized Common Criteria (CC) standards. It involves detailed, independent testing and verification to assess a product's security features, development processes, and vulnerability management strategies.
This certification gains even more relevance with the European Union's increased focus on digital product safety through regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the NIS2 Directive. These regulations demand lifelong security measures for digital products and enforce stricter cybersecurity obligations on vital sectors.
Significance in the digital landscape
The certification specifically confirms the robust security measures of the iDS-2CD7x series in vital areas
As the digital environment grows increasingly interconnected, cybersecurity has evolved from a mere feature to a cornerstone of trust.
Hikvision's achievement in acquiring the industry's first EUCC certification in the camera segment reflects its "Security-by-Design" methodology. This approach integrates comprehensive security measures at every stage of the product's life, including design, research and development, testing, distribution, and maintenance.
Ensuring robust security
The certification specifically confirms the robust security measures of the iDS-2CD7x series in vital areas such as identity verification, access control, secure communication protocols, security audits, and vulnerability management. This newly established standard provides a benchmark for the industry, enhancing global trust in Hikvision's offerings.
Looking ahead, Hikvision is committed to continued innovation in security and digital governance, striving to offer secure, reliable AIoT products and solutions that contribute to a safer digital ecosystem.
Hikvision announced that its DeepinView network camera series (iDS-2CD7x) has successfully obtained the EUCC (The European Cybersecurity Scheme on Common Criteria) certification. This milestone marks the world’s first product in the CCTV camera category to achieve this prestigious certification, highlighting Hikvision’s commitment to robust product security and compliant digital governance.
The certification was issued by TrustCB B.V., an independent certification body authorised by the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI). The comprehensive security evaluation was performed by Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity Europe, a globally recognised third-party testing laboratory. 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.
High security requirements
As a newly adopted, highly authoritative product cybersecurity framework in Europe, the EUCC is built on internationally recognised Common Criteria (CC) standards. It utilises rigorous, independent testing and auditing to systematically verify a product’s security capabilities, development processes, and vulnerability management.
With the European Union actively strengthening 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. It provides manufacturers and end-users with unified, reliable proof of compliance, offering an essential reference for sectors with high security requirements like government, critical infrastructure, energy, and transportation.
Interconnected digital landscape
In today’s interconnected digital landscape, cybersecurity has transitioned from a supporting feature to a fundamental pillar of trust. 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, the company provides a new reference for cybersecurity compliance across the industry, while further bolstering global customer confidence in Hikvision’s products and solutions.
Moving forward, Hikvision remains dedicated to continuous security innovation and robust digital governance, delivering secure, trustworthy, and reliable AIoT products and solutions to help build a safer digital world.
