Abloy UK‘s eCliq Electronic Key/Cylinder Locking System has received the Secured by Design (SBD) Secure Connected Device accreditation.

eCLIQ is Abloy’s completely electronic key/cylinder platform.

A system of programmable keys and compact, secure locking cylinders, offering security and flexibility, according to the company.

eCLIQ is designed to replace traditional master key systems in institutional organisations such as accommodation, universities, schools and hospital estates. 

Compliant with the requirements

“I am delighted that Abloy UK’s eCliq Electronic Key/Cylinder Locking System has achieved the Secure Connected Device accreditation, having met the required standard for both its physical and cybersecurity attributes,” said Hazel Goss, Secured by Design.

“It is the first product to achieve the Sold Secure SS504:2024 Specification for Smart Locks for Domestic and Similar Buildings, having also achieved the IASME Level 2 IoT Cyber Assurance certificate. 

“The government has mandated compliance with the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure Act 2022 by 29^th April 2024 so it is critical that businesses who produce or supply IoT connected products ensure that they are sighted on this law and have taken the appropriate steps to ensure that they are compliant with its requirements.  

“Obtaining the Secure Connected Device accreditation will build confidence and trust in Abloy UK’s eCliq and I hope that other companies within the industry and beyond will take note of this achievement and follow in their footsteps.

“The regulatory framework within the law contains an enforcement regime with both civil and criminal sanctions for non-compliance, so the penalties can be harsh”. 

Accreditation

Tony Barnes, Abloy UK, said: “We are extremely proud that our eCLIQ cylinders are now Secured by Design accredited.

“Our products are being specified more and more in large projects around the UK with Secured by Design certification being requested in both retrofit and new build projects within the commercial and residential markets. 

“At Abloy UK, we consistently lead the way in compliance and security innovation.

“This achievement underscores our unwavering commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the highest standards of safety and reliability.”
