About us and our role regarding your personal data processing
Cybersecurity certification as introduced by the EU Cybersecurity Act (EUCSA) will play a crucial role in increasing the trust to and security of ICT Products, ICT Services and ICT Processes. Cybersecurity certification is a complex process, posing a variety of challenges to the different interested parties.
CUSTODES introduces a system comprised of a variety of components with the aim to provide trustworthy, cost-effective, agile and portable conformity assessment capabilities, to a variety of interested parties, covering multiple assurance levels of composite ICT products or ICT services.
The CUSTODES system will discover and translate certification information of the building blocks of the composite ICT products or services under evaluation, will provide certification information to the interested parties and will share information on newly identified vulnerabilities related to the specific blocks or composite products as needed increasing transparency, re-usability and trust. It will also utilise a Restricted and Trusted Execution (RTE) Environment, to ensure the chain of custody of the product under assessment.
