The 2025 CSPN introduces updated technical guidelines, including Note 7 v2, which enforces stricter requirements for communication security and resistance to logical attacks. It also mandates advanced hardware testing, such as protection against relay attacks on contactless components and the implementation of a proximity verification feature.

This certification covers the new secure I/O modules for Synergis, developed specifically for this architecture by Stid, a French company specialising in secure identification technologies. Every component of the access control system is built on encrypted protocols and advanced cyber security capabilities, offering reinforced protection for sensitive infrastructure. These advancements position Genetec as a key player in high assurance access control systems, especially for essential and important entities as defined by the NIS2 directive, where resilience against cyber attacks is a strategic priority.

ANSSI certification offers multiple benefits to users:

Advanced cyber security - With a secure, transparent architecture and advanced end-to-end encryption, ANSSI-certified Genetec solutions effectively protect physical access points against hybrid attacks.

Compliance with European regulations - Genetec certified solutions help organisations meet both French and European regulatory requirements, while preparing for future directives such as NIS2 and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

Anticipation of emerging threats- Achieving ANSSI certification reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to cyber security and alignment with the highest national standards. This recognition is part of a broader strategy to embed digital security at the core of every solution developed. With the ever-evolving nature of security threats, Genetec continues to deliver durable, scalable solutions built to protect organisations against emerging risks, backed by in-house specialized expertise and continuous technology monitoring.

“Genetec is globally recognised for its cyber secure solutions, establishing our reputation as a trusted provider in the physical security sector.
