SHAWNEE, Kan., Feb. 1, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Perceptive Software, developer of ImageNow(r) enterprise document management, imaging and workflow software, today announced ImageNow has achieved the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme for IT Security (CCEVS) at Evaluation Assurance Level 2+ through the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP).
The United States and 22 other countries -- including Australia, the Czech Republic, India, Japan and the United Kingdom -- recognize the Common Criteria as the official third-party evaluation criteria for IT security procedures.
"Achieving NIAP Common Criteria certification is a significant milestone for the ImageNow product suite, certifying its use in the most secure of federal government organizations and providing confirmation to customers worldwide, across all industries, that ImageNow manages their unstructured data with the utmost security," said Perceptive Software Executive Vice President Cary DeCamp.
NIAP is a U.S. Government initiative between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Security Agency (NSA). The CCEVS is a national program for the evaluation of information technology products for conformance to the International Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation. The program helps consumers select IT products that meet their security requirements and helps the manufacturers of those products gain acceptance in the global marketplace.
"We're pleased ImageNow is one of a select few enterprise content management solutions to earn NIAP Common Criteria certification," DeCamp added.
ImageNow was submitted to the Common Criteria Testing Laboratory run by the Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), one of nine NIAP-approved independent testing facilities. SAIC evaluated ImageNow against Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) Two augmented with Flaw Remediation and Examination of Guidance. Testing confirmed ImageNow met EAL2+ certification requirements including Flaw Remediation and Examination of Guidance.
