FAQ
Common questions
Is Securus Labs accredited?
Yes, our laboratory is ISO/IEC 17025 certified by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA), and we are licenced as an Australian Information Security Evaluation Facility (AISEF).
What evaluation frameworks do you assess against?
We evaluate against Common Criteria (CC), Evaluation Assurance Levels (EALs), Australia’s Security Labelling Scheme (SLS) and bespoke high assurance frameworks tailored to your product.
How quickly can Securus Labs perform a CC certification of a product?
Faster than many product owners expect; but it greatly depends on the level of evidence quality available from the manufacturer and responsiveness of product owners – Our team will advise you on expected timeframes once we understand your evidence requirements and product specifications.
Can products CC certified be cross-listed on the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) program in the USA?
In many circumstances, yes, our team will work with your staff to ensure cross-listing is supported where applicable. This is often at minimal extra cost and Securus Labs can handle all NIAP listing requirements on your behalf.
