SiVenture is a Commercial Evaluation Facility (CLEF) under the UK IT Security Evaluation & Certification Scheme (and therefore accredited under ISO 17025 by UKAS) and is able to undertake evaluations at all Common Criteria levels. SiVenture has helped clients to achieve successful certification, and re-certification, for hardware and software products.

We undertake security analysis and testing either as evaluators or as an independent test resource for a developer (often as contributors to the developer's own vulnerability analysis). We can also act as both consultant to assist you with the development of the necessary evaluation deliverables (such as Security Target and Design Representation) and evaluator, as our team size and structure enables us to ensure the necessary levels of separation of duties to ensure suitable independence of evaluation.

SiVenture provides pre-evaluation consultancy, process support and test evidence in accordance with Evaluation Scheme rules, helping clients to achieve successful certification of their products.
