Or email sales@ampinc.com →What Is a Common Criteria SSD?
A Common Criteria SSD is a solid-state drive configuration evaluated against defined security functional and assurance requirements. For U.S. government procurement, NIAP administers the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme and publishes validated products.
Standardized as ISO/IEC 15408, Common Criteria provides a repeatable framework for documenting security claims and having accredited laboratories evaluate those claims. Certification applies only to the identified product, hardware, firmware and evaluated configuration—not automatically to every related SSD.
Why Choose a Common Criteria-Certified SSD?
IT vendors regularly make security claims about their products. Common Criteria provides documented, independent evaluation of the claims and configuration defined in the applicable Security Target.
For defense, government and other security-sensitive programs, this evidence helps procurement and engineering teams compare secure SSD options and confirm that the selected solid-state drive matches the required evaluated configuration.
Recognized Industry Metrics
Evaluation against recognized industry metrics, ensuring comprehensive and relevant cybersecurity assessments.
Third-Party Credibility
Increased credibility from third-party testing organizations that use open, transparent processes.
Certification scope: Certification applies to the exact product, hardware version, firmware version and evaluated configuration identified in the applicable documentation.
Common Criteria SSD Security & Certification
There are two essential components of a Common Criteria evaluation: the Target of Evaluation (TOE) and the Security Target (ST). Together, they identify what is evaluated and the security requirements used for that evaluation.
Target of Evaluation (TOE)
The specific product or system undergoing Common Criteria evaluation, including the applicable product identity and evaluated configuration.
Security Target (ST)
The document that defines the product’s security objectives, threats, functional requirements and assurance claims.
Common Criteria vs. CSfC: What’s the Difference?
Common Criteria and CSfC are related, but they describe different stages of security evaluation and deployment.
Common Criteria and NIAP
Common Criteria is the international framework used to evaluate defined product security claims. NIAP operates the U.S. validation scheme and publishes products that successfully complete an approved evaluation.
CSfC Components List
CSfC is an NSA program for using eligible commercial products in composed, layered solutions. A Common Criteria or NIAP validation does not automatically make every product CSfC-listed.
Current listing: Novachips Scalar and Express P-Series SSD, NIAP VID 11567, appears on the NSA Hardware Full Drive Encryption Components List as an AA-and-EE product. Verify that the exact AMP part number, hardware and firmware map to the evaluated configuration. View NIAP validation · View NSA CSfC Components List
Secure SSD Capabilities
AMP Common Criteria SSD configurations are available with SATA and PCIe/NVMe interfaces across multiple form factors. Supported evaluated configurations include self-encrypting drive functionality and pre-boot authorization requiring an approved user credential before access is granted.
These encryption and access-control capabilities support defense, government and enterprise systems that require documented data-at-rest protection. Certification and feature support must be verified against the exact part number, hardware version, firmware version and deployment requirements.

View solutionsFrequently Asked Questions
What is a Common Criteria SSD?
A Common Criteria SSD is a solid-state drive configuration evaluated against defined security functional and assurance requirements. Certification applies to the exact product, hardware, firmware and configuration identified in the evaluation documentation.
What is the difference between Common Criteria and CSfC?
Common Criteria is a product security-evaluation framework, while CSfC is an NSA program for using eligible commercial components in layered solutions. A Common Criteria or NIAP validation does not automatically make every product CSfC-listed.
Are these SSDs on the NSA CSfC Components List?
The Novachips Scalar and Express P-Series SSD evaluated under NIAP VID 11567 appears on the NSA Hardware Full Drive Encryption Components List. Confirm that the exact AMP part number, hardware version and firmware map to the evaluated configuration.
What are the TOE and Security Target?
The Target of Evaluation is the product or system being evaluated. The Security Target describes its security objectives, threats, functional requirements and evaluation scope.
Does certification apply to every AMP SSD?
No. Certification applies only to the exact evaluated product, hardware revision, firmware version and configuration identified in the applicable certification documentation.
Which SSD formats are included in the current reference table?
The current reference table includes 2.5-inch SATA, M.2 SATA, mSATA, M.2 PCIe/NVMe and 2.5-inch U.2 PCIe/NVMe configurations.
What is pre-boot authentication?
Pre-boot authentication requires an authorized user credential, such as a supported smart card or password, before access to the protected system or encrypted drive is granted.
Is Common Criteria the same as FIPS 140?
No. They are separate security programs with different scopes and validation requirements. Confirm which certification, protection profile and exact product configuration your program requires.
What information should I provide with an inquiry?
Provide the required certification, form factor, interface, capacity, host platform, authentication method, operating environment, quantity, firmware constraints and expected program life.
Need Help Selecting a Secure SSD?
Share the required certification, form factor, interface, capacity, authentication, host platform and program requirements so AMP can review the applicable configuration.
