AddSecure UK’s NGP achieves BSI’s coveted Kitemark™ Certification
The certification confirms that the Next Generation Portfolio (NGP) meets stringent European standards for protecting connected devices, platforms and customer data from cyber threats.
AddSecure UK has achieved BSI Kitemark™ Certification for IoT Devices for its NGP, highlighting the range’s robust cybersecurity protections.
Every product in the NGP meets one of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute’s (ETSI) standards, which outlines technical specifications for IoT and internet connected devices in order to prevent unauthorised access, data leaks and other common types of cyber-attacks.
Achieving the certification criteria includes meeting ETSI EN 303 645, which outlines 68 requirements. Kitemark Certification is an ongoing process with regular retests, covering everything from how software updates must be carried out to how communications are relayed.
Bryn Sutton, Global Commercial Director, Product Certification at BSI, said:
“The trust and confidence that certification provides to protecting connected devices, platforms and customer data from cyber threats is crucial. Congratulations to the AddSecure Team on the achievement of the BSI Kitemark Certification for IoT Devices.”
AddSecure, who has been an industry leader in Europe for over a decade, launched its NGP in the UK last year, coinciding with a successful collaboration with BT Redcare to migrate their alarm signalling systems to AddSecure’s NGP platform. The range comprises six products, including both fixed IP and wi-fi connected models, as well as single 4G or dual path options with fixed IP + 4G back up and Dual Radio 4G + 4G.
The NGP has also been awarded the Building Research Establishment (BRE) for safety and security standards and the Secured by Design Police Preferred Specification for crime prevention in the past few months. This makes AddSecure UK the only alarm signalling service to obtain all three certifications at the same time.
Nicholas Whiting, VP Alarm Signalling at AddSecure UK, said:
“As cyber threats become more prominent, frequent and complex, we are determined to provide our customers with products that address these challenges better than any other product on the market. Achieving the prestigious BSI Kitemark™ certification should provide our customers with the confidence needed to respond to the ever-increasing risk environment, knowing they have some of the best cybersecure signalling products currently available in the UK alarm market.
“We’re proud that our offering surpasses expectations for not one, but three, major certifications, especially as AddSecure only launched in the UK less than a year ago. We’ve committed to upholding these high expectations, even as cybersecurity challenges continue to evolve.”
