- The Secure Connected Device Logo scheme offers a way for device manufacturers 
to demonstrate their commitment to security and give confidence to their 
customers

Eurofins Cyber Security, part of Eurofins Digital Testing, a global leader in 
end-to-end quality assurance and testing services, announced today that it is 
launching the Secure Connected Device Logo. The Eurofins Connected Device Logo 
delivers a comprehensive evaluation of the cyber security robustness and data 
privacy measures of connected devices, providing clear identification of those 
products that certified as secure. 

Manufacturers of connected devices can apply to Eurofins to have their devices 
assessed against the requirements for a specific level of security. Once 
testing is successfully completed the requisite Logo will be granted and can be 
used by the manufacturer in promotional and marketing materials. The assessment 
is undertaken by Eurofins and will map to key industry standards.

The scheme will bring benefits for manufacturers, retailers and consumers. For 
manufacturers the Logo will help differentiate products from those of 
competitors. It will enhance the manufacturer's reputation and protect the 
brand from the inevitable harm a security incident can cause. For retailers the 
Logo will help customers make informed decisions on purchasing and build 
customer confidence in the retail brand. It will also help boost the brand 
reputation by showing a commitment to safety and security. 

Looking for the Logo when shopping will help consumers determine which products 
are secure. The Logo makes security information clearer and more accessible to 
buyers.

The huge growth in connected devices is revolutionising our day-to-day lives. 
The positive impact on all walks of life is substantial, but there are growing 
concerns over security and privacy. Regulation and guidance from governments, 
or business, relating to security has been slight, putting organisations and 
individuals at risk. The Secure Connected Devices Logo addresses the 
shortcomings in legislation and the risks in the marketplace by delivering 
security that, in turn, builds confidence. It will be an important tool for all 
involved in connected devices from vendors through to users.

With parent company Eurofins Digital Testing, testing facilities are available 
in Belgium, UK, Sweden, Netherlands, North America and Hong Kong. More
