We test what is otherwise not tested.

Auftrag-Verlauf2

Manufacturers, operators and distributors of products often lack incentives and the awareness to have their products tested for vulnerabilities. This leads to unsafe products entering the market that are not regulated or controlled. The NTC identifies and tests such products for vulnerabilities, even without a mandate, in order to reduce the cyber risks they pose. The findings are made available to the public, government agencies, and industry.

Comprehensive, transparent and for the good of our society.

OUR PRINCIPLES

Independence.
Transparency.
Neutrality.

00_Content-hoch-06

The focus and goal of our work is to ensure Switzerland's digital security.

Test assignments in connection with critical infrastructures therefore have top priority for the NTC. We conduct these in complete independence from manufacturers, and any financial involvement of product manufacturers or service providers is neither possible. Any influence on the objectivity of the NTC is therefore excluded.

«We do not certify. We test. In areas that have not been adequately tested.»

Dr. Raphael M. Reischuk, Founding member

The safety assessments carried out by the NTC are based on international recommendations and standards, which are supplemented accordingly for in-depth detailed analyses. To ensure sound assessments, the NTC draws on existing expertise from private industry, the research community and educational institutions in Switzerland and abroad.

«We always remain neutral with our activities.»

Andreas W. Kaelin, Executive Management

There is no influence by the market for hardware and software components. The tests are not carried out with the aim of promoting sales by manufacturers or dealers.

The objectivity of the NTC is both a prerequisite for our work and a guarantee of our performance.
