Common Criteria Compliant Data Wiping Software
D-Secure Drive Eraser is built in alignment with the rigorous Evaluation Assurance Level 2 (EAL2) guidelines of the Common Criteria standard.
What is the Common Criteria Standard?
The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (referred to as Common Criteria or CC) is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for computer security certification. While official certification requires testing by a competent Common Criteria Test Laboratory (CCTL), many software vendors align their development practices with CC guidelines to ensure robust security postures.
About CCRA
The Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement (CCRA) is a multiparty international agreement to mutually recognize and accept the evaluation of IT products based on the Common Criteria methodology. There are 18 member countries including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Japan, Netherlands, and more.
