Glavni je cilj projekta proširenje postojećih akreditacijskih aktivnosti koje HAA trenutno provodi na novu akreditacijsku shemu za kibersigurnosnu certifikaciju u sklopu postojećih akreditacijskih shema za akreditaciju certifikacijskih tijela koja provode certifikaciju proizvoda, usluga i procesa u skladu s normom HRN EN ISO/IEC 17065 te akreditaciju ispitnih laboratorija u skladu s normom HRN EN ISO/IEC 17025, a sve sa svrhom ispunjavanja uvjeta postavljenih za nacionalna akreditacijska tijela u Uredbi (EU) 2019/881 (Akt o kibersigurnosti) i nacionalnom zakonodavnom okviru. Projektom će se ojačati i unaprijediti kompetencije HAA u izvršavanju važne uloge u postupku akreditacije tijela za ocjenjivanje sukladnosti (TOS-eva) u skladu s Uredbom (EU) 2019/881 (Akt o kibersigurnosti) kao i organizirati aktivnosti podizanja svijesti o kibersigurnosti i edukacije za HAA osoblje i vanjske suradnike.
Projektom će se razviti i implementirati IT infrastruktura koja će doprinijeti digitalizaciji procesa HAA. Na isti način povećat će se razina sigurnosti i brzine prilikom razmjene podataka i dokumenata što će posljedično dovesti do povećane radne učinkovitosti, optimizacije rada i trajanja postupaka HAA.
