TÜV Rheinland and BG Networks announce strategic partnership to accelerate product cybersecurity compliance

BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, September 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TÜV Rheinland North America, part of TÜV Rheinland, a global leader in independent testing, inspection, and certification services, and BG Networks, an innovative provider of an automation platform for threat modeling and risk assessment in connected devices, today announced a new strategic partnership. This collaboration will streamline and accelerate cybersecurity compliance, testing, and security implementation for connected device manufacturers worldwide.

"Manufacturers across multiple industries are navigating a complex web of new global cybersecurity regulations," said Sven Nowak, Regional Business Stream Manager at TÜV Rheinland North America. “By partnering with BG Networks, we can accelerate our service offering, allowing us to quickly assess vulnerabilities and compliance gaps, strengthen product security, and make final testing and conformity much faster and more predictable.”

As global regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act (EU CRA), EU Medical Device Regulation, and U.S. FDA cybersecurity requirements under the FD&C Act, mandate strictly enforced device security, manufacturers face immense pressure to secure their products and demonstrate conformity quickly. Compliance is both time- and cost-intensive, potentially requiring thousands of hours of work for product portfolios. In addition, many manufacturers lack the regulatory expertise required to achieve compliance. Together, TÜV Rheinland’s world-class testing and certification expertise combined with BG Networks’ security automation platform offers a simplified, comprehensive, and economical end-to-end pathway to cybersecurity compliance.

"BG Networks' mission has always been to automate cybersecurity, making it faster and easier to implement" said Colin Duggan, CEO at BG Networks. "Teaming up with a prestigious global entity like TÜV Rheinland allows customers to reduce the time and cost of adherence to global product cybersecurity regulations.”

For customers who wish to better understand their exposure to the EU CRA, TÜV Rheinland will offer a no-cost product categorization and assessment for up to 10 products. Interested companies should attend the companies’ joint webinar on September 10 to learn more or reach out directly to cyberfusa@us.tuv.com.
