Certified security systems for sustainable cities of the 21st century

The United Nations formulated 17 sustainable development goals to "transform our world". Goal 11 aims to "make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable". As such, security systems have become increasingly relevant, particularly in the past several years as significant and dangerous threats have emerged throughout the world. In addition to said risks, a number of security solutions, for example in the field of CCTV, are linked with significant privacy risks. Therefore, an appropriate certification scheme for security systems that not only considers security aspects but also additional issues, e.g. data protection and privacy, is needed in Europe. The EU Project CRISP (Evaluation and Certification Schemes for Security Products) aims to facilitate this process via the development of pan-European certification. This paper shows CRISP's solutions based on the current outcomes of the project and its specific contribution to research and practice.
