Genetec Inc., a global company in enterprise physical security software, is qualified by the French National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) for its high assurance access control system. This qualification follows Genetec earning First-Level Security Certification (CSPN) from the Agency in 2025.

The qualification applies to the Genetec Security Center Synergis access control system, the Synergis Cloud Link, and the STid secure I/O module, which was developed specifically for this architecture by STid. It also covers STid SSCP v2 readers operating in transparent mode and MIFARE DESFire EV2/EV3 smart cards.

“Genetec is recognized globally for its cybersecure solutions, underscoring our position as the trusted solution of choice in the physical security industry,” said Cyrille Becker, managing director, Genetec EMEA. “Achieving ANSSI qualification further demonstrates our ability to meet the most stringent cybersecurity standards and our long-term commitment to helping customers safeguard their environments.”

Genetec obtained the “Elementary level” ANSSI qualification after earning its First-Level Security Certification (CSPN) from the Agency. While certification confirms that a product meets defined cybersecurity standards at a given point in time, qualification represents a higher level of assurance. It requires more extensive testing and auditing, as well as a long-term commitment to maintaining compliance with ANSSI requirements.

“For users, this distinction is critical,” Becker added. “It ensures systems go beyond managing access points to serve as a first line of defense against cyber threats. Organizations in France, and across Europe, seeking a highly secure access control system can confidently rely on Genetec, knowing this qualification demonstrates our ability to meet the highest cybersecurity standards.”

The ANSSI qualification complements a broad set of cybersecurity certifications, attestations and program recognitions already achieved by Genetec, including ISO 27001 and ISO 27017, IRAP, Essential 8, TX-RAMP, FICAM/FIPS 201-2, DHS Safety Act, UL 2900-2-3 Level 3, CAPSS and SOC 2 Type II. Genetec solutions also comply with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.
