Reduced Processing Time with Document Automation Platform
Normally, cybersecurity certification requires extensive technical documentation review, and the preparation process by manufacturers typically takes 3–4 weeks.
However, NTREE Research Institute has implemented a proprietary document automation platform to streamline the documentation process,
significantly reducing both manufacturers’ document preparation time and the laboratory’s review period.

Testing Process
- Application and Registration
We receive the client’s application and conduct a preliminary review of product characteristics and testing scope. - Documentation and Review
We provide efficient and systematic support for technical documentation using our proprietary document automation platform. - Establishing the Test Plan
We prepare a detailed test plan according to the product’s security requirements, defining methods and items. - Testing Execution
We perform a variety of tests such as vulnerability assessment, cryptographic verification, and network security tests based on standards. - Issuing Test Reports
We analyze the test results and issue official reports. - Certification (NB Certificate)
Through partnerships with multiple European Notified Bodies (NBs), we can issue CE RED international certificates quickly and reliably.
