Mission & Goals
LGAI Technological Center, part of Applus+ Laboratories, is a global leader in testing and certification. Headquartered in Barcelona, its multidisciplinary network serves critical industries like aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and renewable energies, partnering with top tech corporations to drive innovation and competitiveness. As a premier IT Security Evaluation Facility (ITSEF), LGAI was the first in Spain to be accredited under the European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC). Key Capabilities: High-Assurance: Official evaluation for Common Criteria, LINCE, and SESIP. Global Payments: Strategic lab for EMVCo and PCI (Visa, Mastercard, Amex). Sector-Specific: Specialized security for Connected Vehicles (ISO 21434) and 5G (NESAS). Advanced Lab: Expertise in hardware attacks (Side-channel, Fault Injection) and software vulnerability research. LGAI ensures product robustness and global market access through world-class facilities and technical authority.
EU Legislative Interests
LGAI focuses on regulations that mandate security assessments for digital and industrial products: EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA): This is their primary target. They provide readiness assessments and gap analyses to help manufacturers comply with the CRA's essential security requirements before its full enforcement. EU Cybersecurity Act (CSA): They align their services with the framework established by this act, specifically the creation of EU-wide certification schemes. European Cybersecurity Certification Scheme (EUCC): As a lead laboratory, they target this scheme (based on Common Criteria) to provide a "presumption of conformity" for products under the Cyber Resilience Act. Radio Equipment Directive (RED) Delegated Act: They target Article 3.3 (i, e, and f) regarding cybersecurity, privacy, and fraud protection for wireless devices. EU AI Act: They are positioning their services to address the cybersecurity requirements for "High-Risk AI Systems" as defined in the act.
Communication Activities
LGAI is highly active in disseminating technical and regulatory knowledge: Webinars & Expert Sessions: For example, in October 2025 webinar "Navigating the CRA: What We Know & What We Don't Know (Yet)" provided guidance on product classification and reporting obligations. White Papers & Essential Guides: It was published detailed technical guides, such as the "EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) Essential Guide," explaining compliance timelines and technical documentation (SBOM) requirements. Technical Workshops: It was host practical sessions for manufacturers to map their existing security controls (like ETSI EN 303 645) to upcoming EU mandates. Strategic Publications: Frequent release updates on the alignment between the EUCC and the CRA to help the industry understand how voluntary certifications meet mandatory laws.
