Archived U.S. Government Approved Protection Profiles

PPs are reviewed periodically to determine if the security functional and assurance requirements are still acceptable in the face of rapidly changing technology and increasing threat levels. If it is determined that specific protection profiles no longer accurately map to existing technology and threat levels, these PPs will be retired and archived. PPs listed on this page are to be used for reference purposes only.

Sunset Date of PPs

As each new Standard Protection Profile is published, any corresponding U.S. Government Protection Profile will be given a sunset date after which no further evaluations will be recognized.

  1. All PPs will be reviewed periodically to determine if the requirements are still acceptable in the face of rapidly changing technology, increasing threat levels, and other conditions.
  2. Sunset dates for PPs being replaced will be determined by the severity of changes and will be clearly posted next to the PP listing. All PPs with a sunset date will be marked with a sunset icon.
  3. When a sunset date is reached, the PP will no longer be available for new Security Target compliance claims.
  4. As soon as the sunset date is posted, vendors are encouraged to migrate to the requirements of the replacement PP.
  5. Assurance Maintenance may continue against a PP until it reaches its sunset date.
