Secured by Design gives seal of approval to AddSecure’s Next Generation Portfolio This notable achievement confirms that AddSecure’s products not only prevent and reduce crime but also meet rigorous British and European standards for safety and cyber security. AddSecure, a leading European provider of secure IoT connectivity and end-to-end solutions, today announced that its new range of security alarm systems has achieved Police Preferred Specification, awarded to products that prevent and reduce crime. The certification is presented by Secured by Design, the official police security initiative that requires rigorous third-party testing. For alarm systems, this means also achieving both the Building Research Establishment (BRE) and the British Standards Institution (BSI) certifications which were awarded to the NGP portfolio earlier this year. AddSecure UK’s NGP portfolio is currently the only alarm signalling products to obtain all three certifications simultaneously. This triple threat of certifications verifies that the alarm systems meet British and European standards for both safety and cyber security. This includes the EN50136-2-2013 and EN50131-10-2014 which outline that alarm signals must be sent quickly and consistently, as well as the BS EN 54-21 which sets out strict reliability requirements, for example, fault detection. It also recognises AddSecure’s commitment to cyber security, with all systems, associated digital applications and the installer web portal featuring built-in protections to prevent unauthorised access. The NGP portfolio has also achieved Secure by Design’s Secure Connected Device accreditation, which is specifically for products that help to tackle or prevent cybercrime. By achieving this certification, it demonstrates that AddSecure’s products have met Secured by Design’s IoT standards, which ensures that they not only comply with the Government's Code of Practice for the Internet of Things, but also the 13 provisions of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute. This extra accreditation further recognises the cybersecurity preventions that AddSecure have
