Robotics security is a UK national priority.

At CYBERUK 2026, the NCSC CEO named robotics security as a UK national priority. The National Robotarium framework is being built now. The vendors who establish independent assurance in 2026 will be the reference cases when procurement mandates arrive.

“The vendors who act now go into the mandate with a current assurance output — not a queue position”

A cyber attack on a robotics system is not a data breach, it's a physical event.

 Connected robotics systems bring together OT and IT, autonomous decision-making, remote access pathways, and complex supply chains. A vulnerability in any of these is not an IT incident — it is a production halt, a safety event, or worse. Independent assurance demonstrates you have this under control.

What your clients are asking

This system will be deployed in our facility and connected to our network. What independent cybersecurity evidence can you provide?

Enterprise clients in manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics are asking this question now. Government procurement teams will make it mandatory. SecurLab, as the named independent CRTF gives you the credible answer.

INDEPENDENT

We do not consult for the clients we assess.

Our output is credible because our independence is structural, not claimed.

NCSC-LISTED CRTF

One of the only independent specialist CRTFs in the UK.

Listed on the NCSC website — the credential procurement teams recognise.

FASTER AND CLEARER

Workflow platform reduces delivery time without reducing quality.

FAQs

  • SecurLab will assess against the existing NCSC CRT APC set which covers the core security domains applicable to any connected system, including robotics.

  • Yes. Our methodology is principles-based, not technology-specific. We assess security outcomes, what your system achieves, not specific technical implementations. Your proprietary protocols are assessed in terms of the security properties they provide, not mapped to a prescriptive list.

  • We offer a tiered approach, starting with a fixed-fee readiness review that gives you a clear picture of your current position before committing to full assessment. Many robotics start ups complete the readiness review as part of their product development process and build the findings into their roadmap.

  • No. Our platform-led evidence collection process is designed to minimise disruption to your team. Evidence is submitted through our portal at your pace, and our AI-assisted review process reduces the time your team spends on assessment administration.
