The standard consists of several predetermined security evaluation assurance levels, assessing product functionality, development environment, documentation and product testing measures. Recognized by governments in more than 26 countries, including the U.S. and Canada, Common Criteria certification is mandated for commercial information security products purchased by the U.S. government for use in national security systems.
