HSMs help address compliance and certification requirements.
To implement these requirements, regulators either recommend or demand the use of HSMs with different certifications. As a rule, HSMs provide the highest level of security to generate, store, manage and decommission cryptographic keys securely. The successful evaluation of Utimaco HSMs by independent certification bodies builds and strengthens trust in our products.
Utimaco HSM are compliant with:
Cyber security is an extremely complex domain, with demanding requirements from many different fields of application. Sophisticated products and services fulfill these requirements. Obviously, small companies and individual users of such solutions are often not able to verify their quality and level of security, and thus their compliance. Therefore, companies need independent third parties such as regulators and certification bodies to play a role. They work on technical, organizational and process requirements. In addition, they look at secure identification of users or devices, and the aspects of authenticity, integrity and data protection.
First, they analyze what is needed for specific applications. Second, laws, regulations and standards – whether national, international or industry-specific – set out very precise requirements businesses must comply with. Independent, third-party evaluation bodies subsequently evaluate products and services against these pre-defined requirements. Finally, evaluations and certifications ensure the products and services are of the highest quality and have the highest possible level of security.
Requirements often include mechanisms such as authentication, encryption, digital signing, or public key infrastructures. Together with these requirements, regulators either recommend or demand the use of HSMs. As a rule, HSMs provide the highest level of security to generate, store, manage and decommission cryptographic keys securely. And as such, in a majority of cases, HSMs can help achieve compliance with regulations and standards.
Utimaco HSMs excell during FIPS 140-2 and Common Criteria (CC) evaluations, proving they have the very highest security standards. The successful evaluation of Utimaco HSMs by independent certification bodies builds and strengthens trust in our products.
