Empowering Trust
in Cybersecurity Certification
The EU Common Criteria Information Sharing and Analysis Centre (EUCC ISAC) is an international non-profit association dedicated to fostering collaboration, harmonization, and excellence in cybersecurity certification. By building trust and interoperability, we aim to create a robust market for certified ICT products that address the rapidly evolving technological and threat landscapes, both in Europe and globally.
Our Mission
The EUCC ISAC acts as a central hub for collaboration between public and private stakeholders, ensuring the effective and consistent implementation of the EU Common Criteria (EUCC) certification scheme. It provides essential input to key entities—including the ECCG subgroup for EUCC maintenance (EsEm), the European Commission, ENISA, and Member States—to support the ongoing development and maintenance of the EUCC scheme. We aim to maintain state-of-the-art practices by providing technical interpretations, methodologies, attack quotations, and an up-to-date attack catalogue.
