ZIEN's New Platform Offers a One-Stop Solution, from Free Self-Assessment to Certificatio
Collaboration with global certification body Bureau Veritas to reduce lead time and cost
ZIEN, a leading IoT security and compliance company, announced today the launch of Z-RED, an automated assessment and mapping platform developed in collaboration with global certification body Bureau Veritas. This platform is designed to support manufacturers in meeting the EU's Radio Equipment Directive (RED) cybersecurity requirements.
Under the amended RED directive, which takes effect on August 1, 2025, products equipped with wireless communication technologies like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and LTE must comply with cybersecurity requirements—specifically Articles 3.3(d), (e), and (f)—to enter the European market. These requirements include network protection, personal data security, and fraud prevention.
Z-RED automatically determines whether a product falls under the RED cybersecurity scope and identifies any technical deficiencies. It then maps these gaps to specific RED clauses and provides implementation guidance. With its AI-powered documentation review and practical security guidelines, Z-RED enables manufacturers to minimize complexity and accelerate certification while reducing costs through a seamless workflow with Bureau Veritas.
To coincide with the launch, ZIEN is offering a free RED cybersecurity self-assessment tool on its official website. Users can answer a few simple questions to determine if their product is subject to RED certification, and they will receive a detailed diagnostic report via email. This report includes a clause-specific non-compliance analysis, recommended mitigation strategies, and a technical requirement mapping table for RED 3.3.
By combining AI-driven technical document validation with expert consulting, Z-RED ensures that manufacturers can fully comply with the RED directive. Through its one-stop structure, Z-RED integrates the entire certification process, from gap analysis to submission, making it a valuable solution not only for SMEs but also for large enterprises facing significant certification hurdles. It is particularly designed to support companies that lack in-house cybersecurity expertise, providing a scalable and practical path toward compliance.
Youngmin Cho, CEO of ZIEN, emphasized, "RED Article 3.3 is a highly complex regulation that cannot be addressed through testing alone. Proactive and systematic preparation is essential, and Z-RED will be the critical tool that helps companies successfully meet these requirements."
※ The Z-RED self-assessment service has since been discontinued; ZIEN now supports RED certification through consulting (contact us).
