Red Alert Labs

What Red Alert Labs does

Red Alert Labs is a French boutique cybersecurity firm founded in 2017 and headquartered in Alfortville, Île-de-France, that provides IoT security consulting, evaluation, and certification services. Its core technology is CyberPass, an AI-powered SaaS platform branded as the first worldwide product security certification platform, which connects manufacturers, certification laboratories, notified bodies, and scheme owners to automate conformity assessment workflows; the company claims the platform reduces product compliance journey time by up to 40%. The firm also operates an EUCC-Accredited Laboratory under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and an internal IoT Security Assurance Framework covering chip-to-cloud risk-based evaluation.

The company's commercial model rests on four professional service pillars — Secure by Design, Test and Certify, Educate and Alert, and Automate — delivered through quote-based, multi-year engagements, complemented by CyberPass subscriptions and a dedicated CRA Article 14 Readiness Program timed to the EU's September 2026 deadline. Named customers include Thales, Sanofi, Legrand, Hagergroup, ASIP Santé, FIDO Alliance, Car Connectivity Consortium, Navigacom, and Hésion, with 70+ customers served across France, Europe, Asia, and North America and 550+ products secured to date. The team of 13+ senior experts is embedded in EU regulatory and standards ecosystems — including CEN-CENELEC JTC13, Eurosmart (IoT Task Force leadership), ECSO, the IoT Security Foundation, GSMA IoT Security Assessment recognition, and more than ten Horizon Europe research projects.

Red Alert Labs is privately held, has not disclosed any institutional funding rounds, and operates with 11-50 employees. Its revenue mix is weighted toward project-based professional services with an emerging recurring SaaS component, and its competitive positioning rests on regulatory depth, accreditation, and standards-body influence rather than headcount or capital intensity.

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• TÜV Rheinland: Global testing, inspection, and certification giant with cybersecurity and IoT certification offerings (including EUCC schemes). Overlaps with Red Alert Labs' certification services but operates as a broad multi-vertical TIC incumbent rather than an IoT-focused boutique.
• UL Solutions: Major TIC player with cybersecurity evaluation and IoT security assurance services, including UL's IoT Security Rating. Directly comparable in conformity assessment and certification scheme operations for connected products.
• Bureau Veritas: Global TIC incumbent providing testing, inspection, and certification services including cybersecurity for connected devices. Comparable to Red Alert Labs as a conformity assessment body but with much broader industry coverage and geographic footprint.
• DEKRA: International TIC organisation offering cybersecurity testing and certification services (including DEKRA Digital Trust). Comparable in IoT security evaluation and certification scheme design across automotive, industrial, and consumer verticals.
• NCC Group: Global cybersecurity services firm providing IoT/embedded device testing, Common Criteria evaluation, and assurance services. Comparable in penetration testing and certification evidence preparation but at significantly larger scale across multiple cyber domains.
• Keysight Technologies: Provides security testing solutions (including IoT/embedded device test tools through the former Ixia portfolio) and lab services. Comparable in IoT device security assessment capabilities and lab infrastructure, though with a broader test-and-measurement portfolio.
• SGS: World's largest TIC company offering cybersecurity testing, certification, and audit services for connected products. Comparable as a conformity assessment body competing for the same EU-driven IoT certification demand.

Direct peers

• Riscure: Specialist security lab focused on embedded devices, smart cards, and IoT, offering side-channel analysis, fault injection, penetration testing, and certification support. Closely comparable in boutique-scale IoT security evaluation expertise and Common Criteria capabilities.
• Secura (part of Bureau Veritas): Dutch cybersecurity specialist focused on IoT, industrial, and automotive security testing, certification, and training. Closely comparable in boutique IoT security evaluation services and now backed by a large TIC parent.
• TrustCB: Commercial certification body for Common Criteria and EUCC, formed from the Brightsight acquisition. Closely comparable in EUCC-accredited evaluation services and certification scheme operation for connected devices.
