Certified Products
Before purchasing an ICT security product that is going to handle classified national information or sensitive information, a process should be run to check that the product’s security mechanisms are suitable to protect this information. Evaluation and certification of an ICT security product is the only objective way of being able to assess and confirm a product's capability to handle information securely.
The Certification Body (CB) certifies security for Information Technology products and systems, according to the Regulation for Evaluation and Certification of Information Technology Security, approved by order PRE/2740/2007, of 19 September, after considering evaluation reports issued by the approved laboratories, among other proof, carried out in compliance with the criteria, methods and standards for assessing security mentioned in the Ministerial Order.
