Ensure your data is secure with a certificate of conformity to the standard for cryptographic modules

In the constantly evolving digital world, it’s crucial that we keep our sensitive information secure. How can we be sure we have the right systems in place for this?

Cryptographic modules are the hardware, software, and/or firmware that carry out approved security functions within computer and telecoms systems.

ISO/IEC 19790:2012 Information technology – Security techniques – Security requirements for cryptographic modules is the global standard specifying the security requirements for a cryptographic module used within a security system protecting sensitive information.

ISO/IEC 24759:2017 Information technology – Security techniques – Test requirements for cryptographic modules specifies the methods to be used by testing laboratories to test whether the cryptographic module conforms to the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 19790:2012.

What level of data sensitivity is covered?

ISO/IEC 19790:2012 caters to varying degrees of data sensitivity by setting out four security levels for cryptographic modules – ranging from, for example, low-value administrative data to classified government information. The four security levels also account for different application environments ranging from, for example, removable media in an unprotected location to a highly guarded data centre.
