Brightsight, the leading security evaluation laboratory

Brightsight is your trusted partner in IT security evaluation and certification. Our ambition is to be at the forefront of cybersecurity. 

Established in 1984, Brightsight has expanded from a single lab in the Netherlands into a global network, becoming the largest independent security evaluation lab in the world. Accelerating growth to solidify global presence, today, we have ten recognized labs worldwide.

We operate in Europe and Asia through locations in Madrid (Spain), Barcelona (Spain), Meyreuil (France), Graz (Austria), Beijing (China), Shanghai (China), and Singapore, while Gossamer serves our North American customers from offices in Columbia, MD (US) and Clackamas, OR (US).

Brightsight is part of SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. 

Brightsight, building digital trust

Brightsight works with manufacturers and developers across the entire value chain: from IP to end device, and provides comprehensive support throughout the entire certification journey. We deliver quality reports thanks to our longstanding experience and knowledge. We help customers navigate the regulatory landscape by leveraging their existing certifications to minimize redundant testing and combine evaluations across multiple schemes to save time. With our extensive list of scheme recognitions, we can help you get multiple certifications with minimal additional costs. 

At Brightsight, you will get your products ready and in compliance with the latest ​security regulations and requirements. With over 40 years of experience in evaluating IT products in various 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 review 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.

Our quality management system is based on ISO 17025.
