Understanding Trust Criteria

Security is required. Additional criteria are selected based on your services and commitments.

Which Criteria Apply?

Security (Common Criteria) is always required. Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy are selected based on your services. Choosing wrong means wasted effort or insufficient coverage.

Overlapping Controls

Many controls satisfy multiple criteria. Without expert mapping, you implement redundant controls and waste resources.
