Security

NXP brings decades of expertise in securing connected devices across automotive, industrial and IoT markets. Our broad portfolio includes hardware roots of trust, advanced cryptography and secure life cycle management, ensuring robust protection. We actively contribute to global security standards and collaborate with industry leaders to stay ahead of emerging threats.

Secure-by-design means security is integrated from the start and built into every layer, across hardware, software, and connectivity. This proactive approach minimizes vulnerabilities, ensures regulatory compliance, and protects devices throughout their life cycle. Retrofitting security later is costly and often ineffective, making early integration critical.

NXP solutions support compliance with major cybersecurity regulations and standards, including:

• EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)
• IEC 62443-4-1
• ISO/SAE 21434
• IEC 81001-5-1
• ETSI EN 303 645
• NIST guidelines

Our certified components meet Common Criteria, SESIP, PSA Certified, and FIPS 140-3 requirements.

NXP takes a holistic approach to CRA compliance by delivering scalable security solutions tailored to diverse use cases, without compromising system performance. Our security architecture is designed to adapt to varying product requirements, providing flexibility from entry-level devices to high-performance platforms. To support OEMs and developers in meeting CRA obligations, NXP continuously enriches its documentation and resources. This enables customers to embed security-by-design from the earliest development stages, manage vulnerability reporting, and maintain compliance throughout the entire product life cycle.
