From Launch to Lift-Off: EUCC Start-Up Challenges and Scaling Operations for Full Compliance (J11b)
The transition to the EU Cybersecurity Certification (EUCC) scheme represents a pivotal shift for the entire certification ecosystem, impacting National Cybersecurity Certification Authorities (NCCA), Conformity Assessment Bodies (CBs and ITSEFs), and manufacturers alike. This talk delves into the start-up challenges and operational demands these stakeholders face as they work to meet new EUCC obligations. It explores essential requirements for compliance, from NCCA’s oversight and certification approval processes to CB and ITSEF obligations for certification and evaluation consistency. Manufacturers must adapt their product development and security processes to meet stringent certification criteria and new obligations. The talk provides insights into implementing processes for these obligations, offering guidance on organizational alignment, capability building, and scaling operations during the EUCC start-up phase to ensure a smooth transition and long-term compliance.
