Our Services
Common Criteria Evaluation
Our Common Criteria (CC) evaluation services help product developers achieve internationally recognized certification so they can grow confidently. Once accredited, we can perform Common Criteria testing in NIAP’s scheme.
FIPS 140-3 Testing
Once accredited, Trellis Labs can perform FIPS 140-3 testing. Accredited testing is essential for cryptographic modules under the FIPS 140-3 program. We conduct algorithm testing, design reviews, and module analysis to confirm compliance with the latest cryptographic security requirements.
Algorithm Testing
Once accredited, Trellis Labs can provide algorithm vectors for CAVP testing — a prerequisite for both Common Criteria and FIPS 140-3 certification. We help companies get started on the right path.
Functional Pre-testing
Our Functional Pre-testing validates a product’s ability to pass certification testing. We ensure the documentation accurately reflects product capabilities and is supported by a solid, compliant foundation.
Consulting & Gap Analysis
We work closely with you to determine the scope of your certification effort and identify necessary changes early in the process — saving time, money, and effort.
