CERTIFICATIONS

GuardianEdge demonstrates its commitment to product excellence by certifying and validating its products under the Common Criteria and NIST FIPS 140-2. These rigorous certifications provide assurance that GuardianEdge solutions operate correctly to enforce security and protect data. They are conducted by third party labs regulated by the US government, and require the successful completion of in-depth product testing. GuardianEdge customers can rely on these results.

Common Criteria

The Common Criteria is an international standard (ISO 15408) that was developed by the United States, Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. The standard has subsequently been recognized by many other nations. In the US, the program is managed by the National Security Assurance Partnership (NIAP), a program operated by the National Security Agency (NSA).

GuardianEdge’s hard disk encryption product successfully passed Common Criteria testing in 2003 and 2008. In 2008 GuardianEdge achieved Common Criteria EAL4+, the highest level that’s mutually recognized internationally. Independent evaluation and testing was conducted by the Cygnacom Solutions Security Evaluation Lab.
