Important News:SafeLogic's CryptoComply Achieves FIPS 140-3 Validation and Receives FIPS 140-3 certificate #4781! Read the blog post!

 

 

Expedited FIPS Validation 

SafeLogic's RapidCert Expedited Validation Program is the Second Step on Your Path to FIPS 140 Certification

 

 

When combined with SafeLogic's CryptoComply FIPS-validated cryptography modules and its MaintainCert service, you'll get a NIST accelerated FIPS certificate in your company's name in two months. And we keep your certificate active and valid over time.

FIPS 140 has Long Been a Time-Consuming, Costly, and Frustrating Process for Product Managers, Developers, and Federal Sales Teams

When you work with a FIPS consultant and a certification lab, FIPS certification has three main phases: Documentation, Testing, and Validation

This process can take two+ years, not counting the time required to develop the cryptography software. More recently, as the industry has been transitioning from FIPS 140-2 to FIPS 140-3, this process has been taking much longer.

It requires extensive collaboration with a FIPS consultant, your NIST-authorized certification lab, and NIST itself.

Even worse, FIPS Validation is not a one-time project, expense, and headache.  FIPS validated software often needs to be revalidated due to CVEs and changing requirements.  Otherwise, your FIPS certificate will go 'historical', and you will no longer be able to use it to support new federal acquisitions.

SafeLogic’s RapidCert Program Delivers FIPS Certificates in Two Months vs. Two Years

Speak with a SafeLogic Cryptography Expert

  • SafeLogic revolutionized the industry 12 years ago when it introduced expedited FIPS validation and accelerated FIPS certification based on a technique called rebranding

  • RapidCert builds on CryptoComply, which has already been FIPS validated and certified

  • Not only fast, RapidCert also does not require any additional effort by the customer

  • We purposefully keep the FIPS 140 validation boundary extremely narrow to minimize the need for revalidations

  • Once RapidCert is complete and you have a FIPS 140 certificate in your name, SafeLogic's MaintainCert services kicks in to keep your certificate in good standing with NIST until it reaches its sunset date

Why Does RapidCert Make So Much Sense For Your FIPS 140  Validation?

RapidCert turns a time-consuming, expensive, and frustrating process into three easy steps:

  1. License CryptoComply
  2. Notify SafeLogic of the name you want to use on your certificate
  3. Celebrate when you receive a FIPS certificate in your company’s name in just two months

The RapidCert process really only takes two months.  Versus two years.  Which would your federal sales team prefer?

In addition, our FIPS validation boundary excludes your proprietary code and is isolated from your product, so that you can update and iterate releases independently from FIPS 140 requirements.

Finally, FIPS 140 certificates may need to be revalidated several times during their lifetime to avoid going historical.  Only SafeLogic has you covered against this risk at a fixed cost with our MaintainCert service.
