[Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) On May 15, 2024, the Director General of ANSSI and the Director of Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) signed a new version of the mutual recognition agreement for the CSPN (First Level Security Certification) and BSZ (Accelerated Security Certification) schemes. This agreement, initially established in June 2022, allows for the reciprocal recognition of safety certificates between France and Germany, streamlining assessments and enhancing cooperation. The new version of the agreement, aligned with the European standard FiTCEM (EN 17640), signifies progress toward a unified European certification scheme as envisioned by the Cybersecurity Act.![](https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcuMIKG4nU2Vw9QiA74yZWX9x9S_T9waBgRvrFmj1CIlrqi203Whpvhh9WHsgsTJSrhRuIzKFdmveBxO0skCLCsyPWQhtqDXgkbVPMIs9N9KhjTfLxPPJvU5TJzK8esU8uu5C3mjCvH2yuwIroi4f8gMFjR?key=LyPyxavN4I-Ft6f64LnkbQ) ## New logo From August 1, 2024, all new CSPN certificates will feature a newly introduced logo, aiding in the quick identification of certified products. This logo will appear on certification reports and relevant websites but will not apply to certificates issued before this date. Profitap's secure network TAPs are designed to meet ANSSI requirements by implementing multiple layers of security, and under the mutual agreement guidelines also fall under the BSI certification. **How Profitap’s secure network TAPs meet the ANSSI requirements:** - Physical isolation from the operational network on Copper TAPs, which acts as a data diode - Optical data diode for Fiber TAPs prevents light insertion from the monitor ports - Secured firmware implemented on active TAPs - Security seals prevent opening and tampering with the devices - Randomized patterns used on seals and packaging to ensure secured logistics | ![profitap-sda-icon-firmware](https://www.profitap.com/wp-content/uploads/profitap-sda-icon-firmware-500px.png) | ![profitap-sda-icon-diode](https://www.profitap.com/wp-content/uploads/profitap-sda-icon-diode-500px.png) | ![profitap-sda-icon-seal](https://www.profitap.com/wp-content/uploads/profitap-sda-icon-seal-500px.png) | ![profitap-sda-icon-packaging](https://www.profitap.com/wp-content/uploads/profitap-sda-icon-packaging-500px.png) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Secured firmware | Data diode | Security seals | Secured packaging | | Secured firmware installed on active TAPs cannot be read or altered by 3rd parties, ensuring the safe operation of the devices. | All Secure TAPs act as data diodes. For copper TAPs, this means they are physically isolated from the operational network. For Fiber TAPs, an optical data diode prevents light insertion from the monitor ports into the operational network. | Tamper-evident security seals covering the screw head make unnoticed opening and tampering with the devices impossible. The randomized paint pattern on the seals helps to verify and ensure that the seals have not been replaced. | Each package containing secured data access products is also provided with a security seal with a randomized pattern. | ## Some of our TAPs for secure data access Profitap’s secure network TAPs are purpose-built, dedicated tools designed to meet the highest security standards to help you meet ANSSI Standards. They are globally recognized, ensuring end-to-end security of your network data access.   | Diode fiber TAP | 1-Link gigabit copper TAP | 8-Link gigabit copper TAP | | --- | --- | --- | | Fiber TAP with diode feature preventing light injection from the monitor ports. | 10M/100M/1G copper TAP with diode feature protecting the network from data injection from the monitor ports. | High density 10M/100M/1G copper TAP with diode feature protecting the network from data injection from the monitor ports. | | ![F1D-MOD-S-SM-MM](https://www.profitap.com/wp-content/uploads/F1D-MOD-S-SM-MM-1000px.png) | ![C1R-1G-S](https://www.profitap.com/wp-content/uploads/C1R-1G-S-1000px.png) | ![C8-1G-S](https://www.profitap.com/wp-content/uploads/C8-1G-S-1000px.png) | | [![Discover >](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2954816/interactive-176027741791.png)](https://insights.profitap.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLJrGhojXtTiilhxyNXAsucDGVX275%2FNLJ%2F0ErzqCspn09HfceSI1s%2BEdyoazYpZJYlEuFzkmUPUezoC3MqrpFIpWDC0jn9ZDJmY2efHwlA%2F11GyzEyRjGmF6P0s6hcz0A5SfqlGcQEfoIv67rtLAHKtKrBvwFPhqVzjAtPD1iK6PZO94Z9jLRW2O%2FEe&webInteractiveContentId=176027741791&portalId=2954816) | [![Discover >](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2954816/interactive-176029788521.png)](https://insights.profitap.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLKk4Cg1NnFRuaVrWSyUxrDzmLO%2Fv1xAGeqX2ryEgvDSe3jP0uowN6bgtvvjjQaas1EJLxJ9LuErRSmWAl8zF6gsa0eSHyQNOxTTiseCgsi1BTgwqq8GhsV6pNkeJFTiumD9zKLU4iA%2BYLgVsz2Ni62djQaokDi%2F5Qi0VuhOGHcPw41WWT%2FZHyCW9i%2F1XtO7SR%2Bnke73tQ%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=176029788521&portalId=2954816) | [![Discover >](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2954816/interactive-176029788543.png)](https://insights.profitap.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLL%2BGy8WgjIycFwBTQzAyO4BUIbl1UvgI30hClOMpG321X%2FVY82tR0hbMZ0I8JzW9Bm%2Fzl3hWUqGqQP1g7sx6sJTyiCg%2FYTwgISVW6WmqGSG2nqggCUQfFUhNRYnaZ6qC%2BJB2hcYiZQb9L9EsF9nEAHdofTaUQAcz%2BtjrpvYgBOd%2BL4FWMmVLRXJyccTqPWamZZ0rSGZqQ%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=176029788543&portalId=2954816) |     [![Secure Data_CTA_v7](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2954816/interactive-156813634467.png)](https://insights.profitap.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLK354YPWYbn3Uw5jwWenSBIWjGnn0HyS%2Bo5HVRkmNBVhhVTU2i2CQDbBaHJGOxBLQeEnq7oVJU2StoHXMJDbcV0rb%2F9%2FeVMOV29r8gFGHmkJCAyhT%2FeL7dJfohPkh2iaJb%2Bp4pkf4LJ1osKp46k%2FLBY7JrS4nY9GpYJO%2B033YwTH9nhkYpyGv%2BcycnmLsjs&webInteractiveContentId=156813634467&portalId=2954816) -
