National IT Evaluation Scheme (NITES) Certification
Help ensure a secure and resilient infrastructure with NITES-certified nShield HSMs.
In 2009, the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore established the National IT Evaluation Scheme (NITES) as a "platform for IT products to be evaluated and certified to be listed in the Government Evaluated Security Product List (GESPL)."
NITES primarily relies on the Common Criteria methodology for evaluating security products to ensure they meet the "high assurance requirement for Singapore government agencies."*
A successful NITES evaluation is required for products that process government data in Singapore.
Entrust nShield HSMs deliver security that has been tested and validated against the rigorous NITES requirements, helping you comply with the mandate while giving you the confidence you need in your security solution.
