Brightsight, building digital trust

Brightsight supports companies in getting their products ready and in compliance with the latest ​security regulations and requirements. With over 40 years of experience in evaluating IT products in different industries, we assess these products against requirements set by governmental and private schemes. Brightsight has been a Common Criteria and EMVCo hardware lab since 2002. We are recognized by multiple governmental Common Criteria schemes: CSA (Singapore), TSE (Turkey), NSCIB (the Netherlands), CCN (Spain), BSI (Germany) and SERTIT (Norway) which gives us a unique position in the market. The schemes use our technical evaluation reports to issue product certificates or approvals, stating that evaluated products comply with their requirements. A product certificate gives you access to the market you would like to serve with your product. 


Brightsight has a short evaluation timeline to get your product to market in time. We deliver quality reports thanks to our longstanding experience and knowledge. With our extensive list of scheme recognition, we can help you get multiple certifications with minimal additional costs.
