Intruder Detection manufacturer - Texecom is pleased to confirm their Digital Services platforms have received Cyber Security Product Assurance Group (CySPAG) accreditation from the BSIA.
CySPAG accreditation
Set up in 2017, the Cyber Security Product Assurance Group (CySPAG) is an action group that is operated by the BSIA to tackle cybersecurity in the professional security industry to ensure best-in-class digital security products enter the market.
Following a strict assessment procedure to meet a set level of criteria Texecom Cloud Services, Texecom Connect (application), Texecom Monitor, and Texecom SmartCom all successfully received the CySPAG accreditation which is valid for 12 months before being re-tested to the latest cyber requirements.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity best practice processes are assessed including ensuring all default passwords are fully unique
Covering all aspects of cybersecurity, the assessment follows a secure development lifecycle. As a result, cyber security features are considered and tested alongside other product functions throughout the product development process. This reduces the number and severity of any potential security flaws in the product before it enters the market.
Cybersecurity best practice processes are also assessed including ensuring all default passwords are fully unique and multi-factor authentication is used ensuring the number of potential attack surfaces is minimised.
Communication policies
Further requirements of the CySPAG accreditation required Texecom to successfully demonstrate effective & efficient communication policies for security updates and a pro-active vulnerability disclosure policy allowing customers to report any unlikely security vulnerabilities they may encounter. Steve Lampett, Technical Manager, BSIA, said, “We are delighted that Texecom has joined the CySPAG registration scheme."
Steve Lampett adds, "By registering on the platform it sends out a message of confidence throughout the supply chain that cybersecurity has been addressed not only at a product level during the design and manufacturing process but also includes the ongoing support to ensure the installed product maintains its resilience to cyber-attack.”
Digital service platform
Alex Toohie, Compliance Manager, Texecom, said, “Our Texecom digital services platforms provide many benefits to both professional security installers and their end-user customers."
Alex Toohie adds, "Receiving this accreditation not only underpins our focus on cyber security across all of these platforms but also provides peace of mind to our users as we strive to constantly improve the performance and security of our digital services."
