European companies are highly qualified global leaders in GDPR-compliant cybersecurity solutions. To boost their visibility and recognition on the European level and beyond, the European Cyber Security Organisation (ECSO) has initiated the CYBERSECURITY MADE IN EUROPE label.
DIGITAL SME is the only Europe-wide organisation issuing the Label.
Benefits
Market differentiator – The Label sets your company apart from the bulk of the international cybersecurity offer. European cybersecurity enterprises are subject to strict privacy and data protection rules. Whereas companies from the US are not per se subject to regulations like the GDPR, European companies have to adhere to strong ethical principles in treating their customers’ data.
Strategic value – Supporting European cybersecurity businesses is of strategic value to strengthen our Digital Sovereignty. Through the Cybersecurity Made in Europe Label, you make it easier for customers to find and trust your company.
Visibility – We are building up a list of enterprises with the Cybersecurity Made in Europe Label on our trusted domain. We will raise awareness of labelled companies whenever possible; in European events, meetings, website, social media, etc.
