July 16, 2026 / Hangzhou, China. Dahua Technology, a world-leading video-centric AIoT solution and service provider, has recently achieved IEC 62443-4-1 certification, marking international recognition of the company’s secure product development processes. The certification demonstrates that Dahua has established a secure development management system aligned with globally recognized standards, enabling it to consistently design, develop, and deliver secure, reliable products and services to customers worldwide.
An Internationally Recognized Standard for Secure Development
IEC 62443 is a globally recognized series of cybersecurity standards for Industrial Automation and Control Systems (IACS), developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA) and adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative and internationally accepted standards in the field of industrial cybersecurity.
IEC 62443-4-1 specifically defines requirements for the Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL), covering key processes including security requirements management, risk assessment, secure design, secure implementation, security verification, vulnerability management, and security maintenance. The standard requires organizations to establish a comprehensive secure development management system throughout the entire product lifecycle, helping to continuously enhance product cybersecurity.
Aligning with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Strengthening Compliance Foundations
Published by the European Union in December 2024, the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) establishes a comprehensive cybersecurity regulatory framework covering the entire lifecycle of digital products. The regulation introduces systematic requirements for secure development, vulnerability management, security updates, technical documentation, and post-market security maintenance. Against this regulatory backdrop, a mature secure development system has become a fundamental capability for products entering the global market.
As an internationally recognized standard for secure development processes, IEC 62443-4-1 establishes a Secure Development Lifecycle (SDL) framework that is highly aligned with the CRA's requirements for secure development, vulnerability management, and lifecycle security management. It provides organizations with an important foundation for building development processes that support CRA compliance. By achieving IEC 62443-4-1 certification, Dahua has demonstrated that it has established a secure development process aligned with international standards, laying a solid foundation for future CRA conformity assessments, compliance evidence preparation, and cybersecurity compliance for the European market.
SSDLC: The Core of Dahua’s Secure Development Lifecycle
During the certification process, Dahua demonstrated its SSDLC (Secure Software Development Lifecycle) practices, covering the entire product development process from requirements analysis, secure design, secure coding, and security testing to vulnerability remediation, product release, and security maintenance.
Dahua's Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC)
By continuously improving its SSDLC framework, Dahua integrates security throughout the product development process while continuously incorporating the latest cybersecurity threats, offensive and defensive techniques, and international standards into its development practices. This enables Dahua to continuously strengthen its products' resilience against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats and deliver more secure and trustworthy products and services to customers worldwide.
Looking Ahead
In recent years, Dahua has continued to expand its global cybersecurity certification portfolio, obtaining internationally recognized certifications such as ETSI EN 303 645, Common Criteria EAL3+, and CE RED. The achievement of IEC 62443-4-1 certification further strengthens Dahua’s comprehensive cybersecurity framework across secure development, secure design, and product security, providing robust support for the company’s continued global business growth.
Looking ahead, Dahua will continue to enhance its SSDLC framework, strengthen security management throughout the entire product lifecycle, and further improve its capabilities to meet international cybersecurity standards and regulatory requirements.
