THE KEY PLAYERS
Common Criteria evaluations involve many key players. The vendors that developed the
product will be pursuing evaluation. The
testing labs exist to review your documentation and test your product against
your specified security functionality.
Their time and materials contracts may not be the best option for you if
you experience project delays. The government
schemes exist to oversee the lab’s work and to give final approval to your
evaluation.
Corsec is on your side.
Corsec exists for the sole purpose of helping you find your
way through the complex evaluation process.
Our fixed-price contracts ensure that it is in our best interest to get
your product certified quickly and efficiently.

WHY CORSEC?
If you start your evaluation by engaging a lab, then you
will be locked into that lab and the government scheme which the lab belongs
to. However, not all labs and government
schemes work the same way. If you start with Corsec, we can help find the lab
and correlating scheme that best fits your needs and makes the most sense for
you and your business.
Corsec works with all testing labs and has extensive
contacts and long-term relationships with labs and government schemes
internationally. We understand what each
lab expects and how their current situation may affect the length and cost of
your product evaluation.

WHERE DO YOU START?
The single most critical aspect of any lengthy process is the planning stage . A lack of planning can severely affect the outcome of your evaluation effort. Many times, we find that skipping the initial planning stage means that your evaluation effort could take months longer than expected and could end up costing your company hundreds of thousands of dollars unnecessarily.
Corsec’s proven track-record illustrates how our experience helps companies like yours accomplish their validation goals as efficiently as possible. Our critical planning stage will help make sure that you see a return on your validation investment by bringing your validated product to market sooner, and at less cost than other options.
