Our Approach

SAIC understands that to be commercially viable, features and assurances for software products need to satisfy market demand. The SAIC CCTL offers pragmatic, business-oriented CC evaluation solutions. SAIC helps its clients find the competitive, technical, cost, and schedule requirements consistent with a client's business management priorities and concomitant corporate risk management strategy.

The process
SAIC suggests first performing a Common Criteria Initial Assessment to review required evaluation material before writing a Security Target or performing an evaluation. Initial Assessments have proven helpful in facilitating evaluation success, shortening time "in evaluation," and significantly reducing the overhead cost engendered in reporting problems encountered to Government oversight personnel and the resolution of those problems.

Members of the SAIC security engineering team that perform the Initial Assessment laboratory services also write the draft Security Targets necessary to begin the CC evaluation. Then a separate SAIC team, comprised of different security engineers, perform the evaluation. The Government provides oversight personnel.
