atsec adds Italian Common Criteria Scheme accreditation

atsec is pleased to announce that it has recently been accredited to work as a Common Criteria evaluation laboratory (LVS - Laboratori per la Valutazione della Sicurezza) under the Italian Common Criteria scheme.

OCSI - Organismo di Certificazione della Sicurezza Informatica, founded in 2004, is the Italian scheme which is a signatory to both the CCRA - Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement as well as SOGIS – the Senior Officials Group Information Systems Security.

This means that atsec’s Common Criteria customers have the opportunity to select from the US, Sweden, Italian and German Schemes for their Common Criteria certification.

Helmut Kurth, atsec Chief Scientist stated that the addition of an LVS accreditation by the Italian national scheme to astec’s portfolio allows atsec to support customers in selecting the certification scheme that best fits their commercial needs with respect to certification timeline, cost, and knowledge in specific technical domains.
