Danderyd, Sweden – atsec information security congratulates CSEC on completing its significant and successful effort to become a Common Criteria certificate authorizing scheme. atsec is proud to have been a part of this effort and looks forward to continuing its longstanding professional relationship with the Swedish CC scheme.
The Swedish Common Criteria Evaluation and Certification Scheme is maintained and operated by the Swedish Certification Body for IT-Security (CSEC), established within the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV).
Staffan Persson, Managing Director of atsec information security AB, notes:
“I want to congratulate CSEC on achieving international recognition as a full certificate authorizing participant in the CCRA. The importance of international understandings and arrangements to govern the evaluation and certification activities of a diverse set of national bodies cannot be emphasized enough. International recognition of evaluation results enables customers to reap the full benefit of their security certification investment, because certification by one participating national body is honored by all participating bodies.
I am proud that atsec AB played a significant role in helping CSEC achieve full recognition by the CCRA. atsec’s competence and integrity in the security world, our successful experience as an accredited CC evaluation facility under the German and U.S. schemes, and our continuing leadership in the IT security evaluation community in Sweden all qualified us to help build a solid scheme in Sweden. That scheme then underwent the rigorous scrutiny of the international organization that now has welcomed CSEC as a full member.”
atsec is accredited to perform CC evaluations under three national schemes: BSI in Germany, NIAP CCEVS in the U.S., and CSEC in Sweden.
