Published

July 3, 2026

HANGZHOU, China, July 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hikvision announced that its DeepinView network camera series (iDS-2CD7x) has successfully obtained the EUCC (The European Cybersecurity Scheme on Common Criteria) certification. This milestone marks the world’s first product in the CCTV camera category to achieve this prestigious certification, highlighting Hikvision’s commitment to robust product security and compliant digital governance.

The certification was issued by TrustCB B.V., an independent certification body authorized by the Dutch Authority for Digital Infrastructure (RDI). The comprehensive security evaluation was performed by Bureau Veritas Cybersecurity Europe, a globally recognized third-party testing laboratory. Conducted in compliance with ISO/IEC 15408 (Common Criteria) and CEM:2022 R1 standards, the certified iDS-2CD7x series meets the EUCC “Substantial” assurance level, aligned with Evaluation Assurance Level 3 (EAL3) augmented with ALC_FLR.2 (Flaw Remediation) requirements.

Navigating a Harmonized European Cybersecurity Landscape

As a newly adopted, highly authoritative product cybersecurity framework in Europe, the EUCC is built on internationally recognized Common Criteria (CC) standards. It utilizes rigorous, independent testing and auditing to systematically verify a product’s security capabilities, development processes, and vulnerability management.

With the European Union actively strengthening digital product safety requirements—such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) introducing lifetime security demands for “products with digital elements”, and the NIS2 Directive imposing stricter cyber duties on critical sectors—the EUCC serves as a trusted benchmark. It provides manufacturers and end-users with unified, reliable proof of compliance, offering an essential reference for sectors with high security requirements like government, critical infrastructure, energy, and transportation.

A Structured Approach to “Security-by-Design”

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, cybersecurity has transitioned from a supporting feature to a fundamental pillar of trust. Achieving the world’s first EUCC certification in the camera category reflects Hikvision’s structured “Security-by-Design” approach. By integrating rigorous security principles into every phase of the product lifecycle—from conceptualization and R&D to testing, delivery, and ongoing maintenance—the company ensures that device security is proactively managed from the ground up.

This certification specifically validates the iDS-2CD7x series’ robust security controls in key areas, including identity authentication, access control, secure communications, security auditing, and vulnerability management. By establishing this new benchmark, the company provides a new reference for cybersecurity compliance across the industry, while further bolstering global customer confidence in Hikvision’s products and solutions.

Bird&Be Named Top Prenatal by Consumer Reports for the Second Time — One of Only Two Brands Who Passed Testing

Published

4 minutes ago

August 24, 2026

In new testing of 17 prenatal vitamins, Consumer Reports found that 15 did not match their labeled nutrient levels. Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack was ranked as one of the safest choices, and one of only two that met label claims.

TORONTO, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Consumer Reports recognized Bird&Be as one of the safest and highest quality prenatal vitamins available. The independent nonprofit conducted rigorous testing of 17 over-the-counter prenatals for label accuracy and heavy metals and found that nearly all — 15 of 17 — failed to match levels of key nutrients than their labels claimed, including folic acid which is essential for fetal neural tube development. Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack was one of just two products that delivered nutrient levels that aligned with their labels, marking the second time Consumer Reports has named Bird&Be as one of its most-recommended prenatals.

What did Consumer Reports find?

15 of 17 prenatals tested had nutrient levels outside of label claims.Half of gummy prenatals contained less folate than labeled, a nutrient critical in early pregnancy.Bird&Be’s Complete Prenatal Pack matched labels across every nutrient tested.

Why does Bird&Be measure up?

Developed by fertility doctors and OB-GYNs with doctor-recommended nutrients for pregnancy, Bird&Be’s best-in-class formulations are made in GMP-certified facilities, lab-tested, licensed by Health Canada — a federal authority that assesses products for safety and quality — and Clean Label Project Certified to meet Prop 65 standards for heavy metals.

What should expecting parents look for in a prenatal?

Prenatal vitamins are a routine part of prenatal care, yet they’re highly un-regulated, so brands aren’t required to verify their contents before reaching shelves. Bird&Be sets a new standard of care, and Consumer Reports’ findings back up years of the brand’s third-party testing and position as one of the safest, most-trusted and recommended prenatals.

“Expecting parents deserve products they can trust. Bird&Be is committed to making supplements that are safe and effective, built on rigorous scientific standards. Consumer Reports identified a gap in oversight for our category, and its consistent recognition of Bird&Be confirms the commitment to high quality that we’ve made to our customers and healthcare providers since day one,” said Samantha Diamond, CEO and Co-Founder of Bird&Be.

Bird&Be is available at birdandbe.com, Amazon, and Ulta.
