IS Laboratory Expands Services to IoT Security Audits to Support CRA and RED Directive Compliance in France
Aubagne, France – 17/06/2025
IS Laboratory, a cybersecurity firm with deep expertise in sensitive domains such as the payment industry, announces the expansion of its services to include IoT cybersecurity audits, addressing the early-stage requirements of the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the cybersecurity provisions of the Radio Equipment Directive (RED).
Building on years of experience of its founders securing critical systems in highly regulated sectors, IS Laboratory brings its rigorous methodology and regulatory insight to the fast-evolving world of connected devices. The company is now working with manufacturers and service providers to evaluate and strengthen the cybersecurity posture of IoT solutions, ensuring alignment with upcoming EU legislation.
“We come from a sector – payment - where security is crucial,” said El-Houari SOUSSI CEO Of IS Laboratory “Our entry into IoT security brings that same level of precision, risk-awareness, and compliance rigor to a domain that is under increasing regulatory scrutiny.”
Currently, IS Laboratory is offering early-stage CRA audits to help clients understand and meet key requirements of the regulation, such as vulnerability handling and secure-by-design principles. The company is also actively supporting clients in achieving conformity with the RED Directive (2014/53/EU), which mandates cybersecurity features for radio-enabled devices sold in the EU.
Partnership with CLR Certs: A Trusted Path to Evaluation Certification
To reinforce trust and transparency in its evaluation process, IS Laboratory has partnered with CLR Certs, an independent Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) specialized in cybersecurity certification.
Company Certs is responsible for attesting the evaluation work conducted by IS Laboratory and for delivering formal evaluation certificates in line with EU conformity expectations. This collaboration ensures a clear separation between technical assessment and certification, offering clients a reliable, auditable path to compliance with the CRA and RED requirements.
“Working with CLR Certs ensures that the audits we perform meet both technical depth and formal assurance levels expected by regulators,” added El-Houari SOUSSI. “It’s a strong combination of expertise and independence that benefits our clients at every stage of the compliance journey.”
