SRC receives approval for security assessment of the integration of the mobile digital wallet wero

We are delighted to have recently received approval from the European Payments Initiative (EPI). This enables us to carry out security assess­ments under the European Payments Initiative (EPI) scheme for the integration of the mobile digital wallet into payment apps and payment service provider (PSP) systems. This recog­nition under­lines SRC’s expertise and relia­bility in the field of IT security.

Overview of EPI and wero

The European Payments Initiative (EPI) has launched wero, a new digital payment platform that enables users in Germany to transfer money between accounts in a matter of seconds: EPI intends to provide a unified digital payment solution for European consumers and merchants, starting with person-to-person transactions.

Approval for SRC

For SRC, this approval is a confir­mation of its expertise and commitment in the area of the security of digital payment solutions. The approval expands the company’s ability to extend its safety assessment services to new and growing markets.

“The approval by EPI allows SRC to apply our proven security assessment methods to the integration of digital wallets and thus contribute to the security of digital payments.” (Gerd Cimiotti, CEO)

With the continuous growth of digital payments, the demand for robust security solutions will continue to increase. In addition to the existing testing services we offer as SRC on mobile devices such as CPOC/MPOC, we are currently more than well equipped to meet this need and contribute to the secure devel­opment of the European payment infrastructure.

 

 

SRC and DAkkS accred­i­tation according to ISO/IEC EN 17025: An important step towards EUCC

SRC Security Research & Consulting GmbH Achieves Signif­icant Milestone: Accred­i­tation by DAkkS

SRC Security Research & Consulting GmbH can celebrate another signif­icant achievement: successful accred­i­tation by the Deutsche Akkred­i­tierungsstelle (DAkkS) according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025. This step not only under­scores the compe­tence and relia­bility of our Common Criteria (CC) testing laboratory but also prepares us for the intro­duction of the EUCC (European Common Criteria), an important devel­opment in the European cyber­se­curity landscape.

Signif­i­cance of DAkkS Accreditation

Accred­i­tation according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025 is a clear indication of SRC’s profes­sion­alism and commitment to offering top-notch testing services. It confirms that our CC testing laboratory meets inter­na­tionally recog­nized standards and delivers reliable, consistent results.

Prepa­ration for EUCC

The EUCC repre­sents the European certi­fi­cation scheme based on Common Criteria, aimed at enhancing the security certi­fi­cation of ICT products in Europe. With our DAkkS accred­i­tation, SRC is now well-equipped to tackle the challenges of the EUCC and take a leading role in IT security certi­fi­cation in Europe. The EUCC extends the require­ments of the previous Common Criteria and will funda­men­tally shape future certi­fi­ca­tions in the EU.
