The evaluation audits the entire development lifecycle—from how code is written and secured, to how vulnerabilities are addressed and updates are delivered.
For organizations operating in highly regulated environments, this certification also helps simplify compliance efforts and support procurement requirements in regulated sectors that mandate Common Criteria validation.
