Common Criteria certification is a DoD/NSS/Public sector international acquisition requirement in 28 nations. Commercial product vendors are required to certify their products before being sold and deployed in these target environments. The Leidos Common Criteria lab has been vetted by the U.S. Government to conduct these IT security evaluations. Leidos Common Criteria Lab is the U.S. industry leader having historically completed the most certifications. The lab’s technical proficiency has been recognized by its customer base and the government validators and as such Leidos has been chosen to conduct the most challenging of certification efforts. In addition to its industry-leading technical ability, the key differentiator for the Leidos Common Criteria lab is its size which allows it to concurrently process multiple commercial client certification requirements allowing Vendors to get their products to market in the most time and cost-effective manner.

Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a DoD/NSS/Public sector acquisition requirement. Similar to Common Criteria, Commercial product vendors are required to certify their products’ cryptographic modules (software, hardware, and/or firmware) before being sold and deployed in these target environments. In most cases, a FIPS 140-2 certificate is required to qualify for U.S. Federal RFPs. The Leidos FIPS 140-2 lab has been vetted by the U.S. Government to conduct these IT security evaluations and is an industry leader having completed the most certifications in recent years.

The Secure Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) tests and monitors systems for security issues such as software deficiencies, configuration issues, and other vulnerabilities. SCAP testing helps to ensure that a computer's configuration is within the guidelines set by the Federal Desktop Core Configuration, a group of security-sensitive configuration settings developed by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program and the National Security Agency. Leidos is accredited to perform SCAP Validations and was the first lab to certify a product against the current v1.2 of the standard.
