Summary

The CyberCert-CZ project aims to build and accredit a conformity assessment body (CAB) in the Czech Republic to strengthen the national certification infrastructure in the field of cyber security. The main objective of the project is to establish a Certification Body (CB) and a Testing Laboratory (ITSEF) that will be able to independently assess and certify ICT products and services according to the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC). The project includes requirements analysis, design of organisational and technical infrastructure, training of professional staff, preparation of documents for accreditation (including application for accreditation) in accordance with ISO/IEC 17065 (for CB) and ISO/IEC 17025 (for ITSEF). The aim is to enable the certification of cyber security at national and European level, to increase the credibility of ICT products and to support the competitiveness of Czech companies on the international market. The project will contribute to the strengthening of cyber resilience and the development of a certification ecosystem in line with the European Cybersecurity Act (CSA), thus promoting a more secure digital environment in the Czech Republic and the EU as a whole. This activity also has a major impact on the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
