TrustCB is founded on more than 50 years of collective experience in the Common Criteria and smartcard industry.  Our considerable experience benefits from our time as evaluators and as certifiers. Also from decades spent in forming, authoring, refining, and influencing policy in this sphere.

We have created a practical and efficient certification model that is fully compatible with both the letter and intent of the Common Criteria. The foundations of this approach are used efficiently and effectively in specialised smartcard domains, and are actively being expanded to a range of other domains.

TrustCB is a commercial Certification Body specialising in certifying IT security products (plus associated sites, processes and services) that have been evaluated according to international and industry standards.

TrustCB complies with, and is proud to have been accredited for, the requirements laid down in ISO/IEC 17065:2012 for bodies certifying products, products, processes and services.

Our motto is “Trust and Verify”.

Trust enables efficient optimisation of the processes used by the developers, evaluators, and fellow certification bodies, thereby focussing the effort on the parts that really matter.

Verification ensures that all parties remain trustworthy; any loss of trust would make any further evaluations too inefficient to consider. Simply put, our deep knowledge checks make faking it too difficult.

This dynamic combination of trust and verification creates and sustains the certification process in the ultra-efficient realm, enabling accelerated and predictable timelines, avoiding the substantial financial losses of missed deadlines, while maintaining the required high assurance level.

To maintain trust and verification confidently and competently, TrustCB draws on its considerable experience in the certification and evaluation field. This experience enable TrustCB to apply the rigour of the Common Criteria certification process to the highest assurance of smartcards, and to tailor it to other specialised domains, such as Global Ticketing, IoT, Connected & Mobile Devices and the Automotive sector.
