# niap-ccevs.org - **Website:** - **Primary alias:** `niap-ccevs.org` ## Description NIAP-CCEVS is a national program that evaluates information technology products to ensure conformity to the International Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation. Developed under the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP), this program includes the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS), which focuses on developing protection profiles, evaluation methodologies, and policies to establish achievable, repeatable, and testable security requirements. By partnering with both the public and private sectors, NIAP aims to provide commercial off-the-shelf IT products that meet consumer needs and gain acceptance in the global marketplace. Successful evaluations benefit both industry product developers and government procurers by validating that the products meet security requirements for U.S. Additionally, as a member of the Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA), NIAP-validated products are available to procurers in 31 participating nations. The evaluation process involves NIST-accredited and NIAP-approved commercial testing labs, chosen by the product vendors themselves. These labs conduct security evaluations against selected applicable protection profiles, which are implementation-independent sets of security requirements for specific technologies. Product compliance to these profiles is crucial for evaluation within the CCEVS. Once the evaluation is successful, NIAP issues a validation certificate and lists the product on the U.S. NIAP Product Compliant List and the international CCRA Certified Products List. The evaluation process typically takes between 90 days to six months, and NIAP does not charge for its services. Product vendors can independently contract with approved Common Criteria Testing Laboratories (CCTLs) for evaluation services, with prices varying among different providers. It is important to note that only approved labs are authorized to provide evaluations under the CCEVS and CCRA scheme.
