Following in secunet’s footsteps, today the Group’s involvement with the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) continues through RWTÜV subsidiary CTC advanced. The Saarbrücken-based company assists in the production of electronic e.g. smartcard systems, provides support for processing biometric recognition data, helps to develop security concepts, and offers conformity, reliability and interoperability testing. Prominent customers include Visa and MasterCard as well as BSI.

RWTÜV subsidiary CETECOM specialises in service digitalisation, remote audits and virtual testing. In partnership with Google, for example, special glasses were developed to enable preliminary tests on the client’s premises without travelling. TOM is a recently launched test management database solution for the mobile communication industry that offers optimised test procedures, more efficient project management and faster product launches. Mobile device manufacturers, testing companies and suppliers benefit from this testing system in their daily testing tasks.
