This demonstrates that their new product development process meets globally recognized security specifications for design criteria. This certification, backed by audits, guarantees that products are developed in a mature, repeatable, and independently verified cybersecurity environment.
The IEC 62443-4-1 standard defines the requirements for a secure development lifecycle (SDL), which includes threat modeling, secure design practices, rigorous implementation controls, verification and validation, and long-term defect and patch management. UL Solutions certification confirms that Microchip integrates security into its hardware and software from initial design to end-of-life, and that these practices are consistently applied across all business units and design and manufacturing facilities worldwide.
This level of assurance, backed by audits, makes it easier for customers to conduct their own cybersecurity assessments, reduces supply chain risk, and accelerates readiness for emerging regulatory requirements such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
“Achieving IEC 62443 4 1 ML2 certification reflects Microchip’s long-standing commitment to rigorous security practices,” said Nuri Dagdeviren, corporate vice president of Microchip Technology’s Secure Computing Group. “Customers need partners who can demonstrate, not just claim, maturity for secure development. This independently validated certification increases confidence, reduces risk across the entire hardware-firmware stack, and helps our customers comply with CRA and other regulations.”.
