CNPP announces a strategic partnership with Cabinet Louis Reynaud – CLR Labs, an independent laboratory recognized for its cybersecurity expertise. This collaboration aims to accelerate the development of assessment and certification tools dedicated to the cybersecurity of safety and security products and systems.
We welcome this partnership, which fits perfectly within our innovation and cooperation dynamic, of which CLR Labs, a long-standing member, is one of the key drivers.
A response to new cyber challenges for the sector
In the face of increasing cyber threats and new European regulatory requirements (NIS2, Cyber Resilience Act, AI Act), safety and security equipment is becoming a critical target. Its digital transformation, with sensors, embedded software and connected services, is increasing the attack surface.
In this context, CNPP and CLR Labs are combining their expertise to offer a comprehensive cybersecurity assessment and certification service for security technologies. This inclusive approach supports manufacturers in ensuring the compliance of their solutions, from the design phase and throughout the product lifecycle.
The assessments are based on the CNPP ST 17 04 framework, used for the certification of intrusion and fire detection systems, as well as on key European standards such as EN 17640 and ETSI EN 303 645.
Combining cybersecurity expertise, standardization and operational security
The technologies integrated into security devices are evolving rapidly, bringing new capabilities but also new vulnerabilities. The partnership between CNPP and CLR Labs strengthens testing and evaluation methodologies in order to ensure a high level of reliability, robustness and digital trust.
- Cybersecurity applied to connected equipment and systems
- Technical assessments and targeted penetration testing adapted to current threats
- Regulatory monitoring and contribution to European standardization
- Alignment of certification frameworks with the state of the art in cybersecurity and market requirements
Thanks to this complementarity, manufacturers and integrators benefit from a clear understanding of technical and regulatory requirements, a streamlined evaluation path and continuous dialogue to improve the security of products deployed in the field.
A collaboration that strengthens the SPAC Alliance ecosystem
As an active member of SPAC Alliance, CLR Labs contributes to structuring an ecosystem that brings together laboratories, manufacturers, experts and trusted digital actors. The partnership with CNPP amplifies this dynamic by promoting knowledge sharing, dissemination of best practices and upskilling across the sectors involved in safety and security.
In concrete terms, this alliance contributes to strengthening a reference offer and facilitates access to recognized assessments, robust frameworks and a network of expertise capable of supporting innovation without compromising risk management.
