NMi Group acquires TrustCB

Now part of NMi Group, TrustCB is the exclusive commercial Certification Body for the globally recognised Common Criteria cybersecurity standard, working with globally leading clients and capable of certifying up to the highest levels (EAL7). This strategic alignment reinforces NMi Group’s commitment to a comprehensive approach, integrating legal metrology and Common Criteria standards to ensure the overall reliability and integrity of smart industrial devices.

A key emphasis of the acquisition is TrustCB’s expertise in translating Common Criteria standards via SESIP to the Internet of Things domain. This strategic move further fortifies NMi Group’s dedication to “Measure Tomorrow” by synergizing precision in measurements with increasingly requested robust cybersecurity standards.

In legal metrology and Common Criteria, coexistence is imperative to guarantee a holistic approach to the functionality, accuracy, and security of devices such as smart meters, smart grids, and other smart industrial devices. Manufacturers and operators navigating these digital landscapes must adhere to both legal and cybersecurity regulations, ensuring compliance with standards for accuracy and security.

Expressing enthusiasm about the strategic move, Yvo Jansen, NMi Group CEO, states, “Acquiring TrustCB fortifies our commitment to excellence in smart industrial devices. By integrating accuracy in measurements with robust cybersecurity standards, we ensure regulatory compliance and enhance the overall reliability of our solutions.”

Echoing this sentiment, Wouter Slegers, TrustCB CEO, adds, “Joining forces with NMi Group is a strategic move safeguarding the TrustCB Common Criteria and dedicated scheme certification business even further. In practical ways, nothing changes: TrustCB stays the trusted, responsive partner as a certification body. This synergy amplifies our commitment to precision and security in smart industrial devices, advancing the global standard for regulatory compliance and elevating the trustworthiness of our certified solutions.” Wouter will continue to lead TrustCB, ensuring solid independence and sustained excellence in Common Criteria certification.
