The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation is another accreditation process adopted by over 24 different certifying nations through the CCRA (Common Criteria Recognition Agreement).  Common Criteria has a much wider review process of overall product design and functionality than FIPS, and covers the product from its inception, to final product and overall use.  It takes an all-encompassing look at the software, hardware, and  firmware of a device, as well as the overall development process of the product set from birth to commercial release.  Ultimately, nearly every aspect and process which goes into the design, development, release, and support of a product is reviewed and scrutinized.  Common Criteria evaluations can be a very costly and time-consuming process, but the results are a remarkably powerful and secure product.  This complex evaluation process involves several testing labs and governing authorized members to oversee that certain security and functionality standards are met.
The following Kanguru secure USB drives and Remote Management solutions are Common Criteria Certified:
Kanguru Products & FIPS 140-2 Certification
Defender 2000: v1.2.1.8
Defender Elite200: v2.0.0.0
KRMC Enterprise: v5.0.2.6
UKLA: v3.2.0.3
Certificate # BSI-DSZ-CC-0772-2014
By achieving Common Criteria certification, Kanguru’s devices go above and beyond competing products in the secure storage market.  This is where the “rubber meets the road” when it comes to developing high-end security devices, ensuring a complete, thorough testing process, and meeting the highest standards in data protection.
Common Criteria Accreditation demonstrates that the product set adheres to an agreed upon protection profile from a certifying country, and that the follow-up testing ensures the processes which Kanguru uses to develop, design, and maintain its products are sound and secure. Kanguru's Common Criteria efforts have been overseen by Germany's Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), the central IT security agency for the federal government in Germany.
