Common Criteria Assessment FAQs
Do I need to address Protection Profile or EAL requirements?
Both Protection Profile and EAL requirements can satisfy customer requests. Depending on your product and your customer, one approach may be better suited than the other. Speak to an expert to determine which route is best suited for you.
My product was developed outside of the U.S./Canada, can I still get a Common Criteria certification?
Yes. Even products designed, developed, and built outside of the U.S. can attain a Common Criteria certification and can then be sold into the U.S. federal government.
Can a Common Criteria certification provide a competitive advantage?
Yes. Many companies use Common Criteria certification to differentiate their product from competitors to set table stakes as well as identify sole source procurements.
If I start to pursue Common Criteria, when will we see a ROI?
Immediately. Once you begin the Common Criteria certification process, many companies are able to market their progress and make strides in securing contracts.
