FIPS 140 Validation Is Not a One-and-Done Proposition

Software changes, vulnerabilities, new operating environments, evolving NIST requirements, and scheduled certificate sunsets can all affect FIPS 140 validation status. MaintainCert helps manage these changes so your software and certification stay current throughout the product lifecycle.

MaintainCert provides ongoing software and certificate maintenance as requirements evolve, helping customers manage NIST updates, operating environment changes, vulnerability remediation, and future algorithm transitions, including post-quantum cryptography.

A unique white-glove service that keeps your software and certifications active.

Continuous Software & Certificate Coverage

MaintainCert takes over upon the delivery of RapidCert to ensure both your CryptoComply software and your FIPS certification remain in good standing with NIST. It does so by combining SafeLogic’s FIPS 140 software support with our FIPS 140 certificate maintenance.

Proactive Certificate Lifecycle Management

When changes could affect validation status, SafeLogic evaluates the impact and manages required software updates, documentation, lab coordination, and revalidation as applicable.

Built for Changing Cryptographic Requirements

MaintainCert helps customers navigate ongoing changes in NIST guidance, operating environments, software dependencies, vulnerabilities, algorithm requirements, and post-quantum migration—without rebuilding their compliance strategy from scratch.

More Than a Software Maintenance Agreement

While MaintainCert does include enterprise-level support for CryptoComply, don’t confuse it with a software maintenance agreement, as MaintainCert covers both your software and your certificate.
