The following thesis constitutes the final segment of postgraduate studies within the framework of the “Digital System Security” program of the Department of “Digital Systems” at the University of Piraeus. The chosen topic for this thesis involves the context of EUCC, a newly adapted EU cybersecurity certification standard, that has been created after the initiative from the EU Cybersecurity Act. The European Union Cybersecurity Certification Scheme on Common Criteria (EUCC) represents a significant initiative aimed at enhancing the security of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) products across the EU. This thesis examines the EUCC's legal framework, objectives, implementation challenges, and alignment with international cybersecurity standards. By analyzing the Common Criteria principles and their application within the EUCC, the study highlights the scheme’s role in ensuring trust and compliance among stakeholders. Furthermore, the research explores the impact of the EUCC on the digital market, its adoption challenges, and potential future developments. The findings underscore the importance of a harmonized certification approach to strengthen the EU’s cybersecurity landscape.
