DIGISTOR self-encrypting data storage drives achieve Common Criteria certification for high security levels
VANCOUVER, Wash. – DIGISTOR, a CRU Data Security Group (CDSG) company in Vancouver, Wash., is announcing that the company's FIPS 140-2 L2-certified self-encrypting drives have achieved Common Criteria certification and are on the PCI Express, NVMe, and SATA storage devices on the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) Product Compliant List (PCL) offered at COTS-level pricing.
Certification gives critical infrastructure, industry, military, and government agencies affordable access to high data security levels using DIGISTOR's data storage drives.
The Common Criteria certification and NIAP listing are retroactive so all DIGISTOR FIPS-certified drives already in use automatically gain the critical Common Criteria validation and NIAP PCL.
The DIGISTOR Validation Report Number is CCEVS-VR-VID11297-2023, with a certificate date of March 14, 2023. The evaluated products include M.2 PCI Express Gen 3x4 NVMe, M.2 SATA, and 2.5" SATA solid state self-encrypting drives that use full drive encryption to protect Data at Rest on a lost or stolen device.

NIAP is responsible for the U.S. implementation of the international Common Criteria set of data security standards. Its commercial cyber security product certification is mandated by federal procurement requirements (CNSSP 11) for use in US National Security Systems, as information systems operated by the U.S. government, contractors for the government, or agents that contain classified information.
These systems may involve intelligence activities, cryptographic activities related to national security, command and control of military forces, equipment that is an integral part of a weapon or weapons system or are critical to the direct fulfillment of military or intelligence missions.
By meeting Common Criteria, DIGISTOR customers can trust that the solutions they develop for securing data at rest in laptops, desktops, and other devices, are more readily accepted internationally and meet higher security requirements for sensitive and classified data.
DIGISTOR is working with Lightship Security, an accredited Common Criteria and FIPS 140 laboratory, through its Austin, Texas, office. For more information contact DIGISTOR online at https://digistor.com.
