Why is the Tietoturvamerkki label no longer granted?
The answer
Traficom stopped granting new labels because EU security requirements reduced the role of the voluntary Finnish label.
Traficom announced on 21 October 2024 that it would stop granting new Tietoturvamerkki (the Finnish Cybersecurity Label) certificates. The stated reason was EU regulation that introduces security requirements for internet-connected radio equipment.
The requirements cover certain radio equipment placed on the EU market from 1 August 2025. They fall under the CE marking, reducing the role of a separate voluntary label.
The rules cover a broader range of products, but the CE marking does not compare products or state the length of update support.
The Finnish label is therefore no longer something to look for on a new product. Ask instead how long that model will receive updates.
