Starting point

The EU security market:

• Highly fragmented

• Absence of common certification systems

• Limited mechanism for mutual recognition of

national certification

• Slow introduction to new marked needs and

solutions

Starting point

Security systems often involve intensive

data processing

• potential breach of citizens freedoms.

Absence of holistic approach to

certification

• socio-legal requirements that show respect

for fundamental rights.

CRISP Mission

The CRISP project mission was to develop an innovative

evaluation and certification methodology for security

systems:

increase citizen trust in security technologies

• through evaluating social impacts of security

systems

• certification of systems that comply with the

protection of fundamental rights.

more harmonized playing field for the European

security industry,

• acceptance of security certification across

Europe

– no need for re-certification in each country.

The STEFi methodology

Two main phases: evaluation and

certification

Building blocks for certification scheme

Key Deliverable - Standards document: CWA

What is a CEN Workshop Agreement?

Official standards document

Agreement developed and approved in a CEN

Workshop

Open to the direct participation of all interested

parties

Fast and flexible development (average 1 year)

Standards document: CWA

Scope of CWA

Example in Annex: Installed video surveillance systems

Challenge:

to come to unambiguous procedures for a multi-

dimensional evaluation that acknowledges the

complexity of the societal context in which security

systems operate.

Certification manual

Provides basic information for the future

owner of the CRISP certification scheme

pictures the overall evaluation and

certification methodology

clarifications on roles and responsibilities of

all parties involved

information on (basic) requirements for

evaluation and certification, including existing

standards and legislation

Roadmap and implementation plan

CRISP project - successes

Very engaged consortium – willing to give time

to think through problems

POs were interested in the project – helpful and

flexible

The expertise of the consortium was fitting the

project – no gaps

Lessons learned

Ambitious project; need to narrow the scope

Certification and standardisation activities need broad

support and engagement from stakeholders

Standards development is an “exact science” – these

activities need extra time

CWA process can be long and complex – need to

consider this when writing proposals
