Cigent Enables Compliance Requirements
Validated full drive hardware encryption, PBA, and MFA
Federal agencies and contractors are required to meet standards to ensure sensitive or confidential data. With a growing number of devices operating at the edge collecting, processing, and storing sensitive data it is imperative that data on these devices is secured. NSA, DISA, NIST and other Federal organizations have defined guidelines for protecting data at rest on these devices. Cigent Secure Storage Solutions protect data on devices at the edge and enable organizations to meet compliance requirements.
CSfC for DAR
NSA established the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program setting minimum requirements to protect classified data at rest (DAR) on endpoints. The NSA mandates a layered approach requiring a combination of hardware encryption and pre-boot authentication (PBA).
NSA publishes a component list of organizations who meet NSA CSfC for DAR requirements.
Cigent is on the CSfC for DAR component list providing full drive hardware encryption and pre-boot authentication solutions.
FIPs 140-2 Level 3
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) validates cryptographic modules. A product with a FIPS 140-2 certificate means that it has been tested with formal validation of the cryptographic module.
FIPS 140-2 certification are required for all devices containing sensitive data. This includes the majority of devices in Departments of Defense, State, Homeland, Justice, and other Departments and Agencies dealing with sensitive data.
Cigent Secure Storage provides FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified drives with full drive hardware encryption and pre-boot authentication.

Executive Order 14028
EO 14028 “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity,” issued May 12, 2021, mandates the adoption of multifactor authentication (MFA) and encryption for endpoint devices. It also advocates the utilization of zero-trust architecture.
Cigent Secure Storage provides full drive hardware encryption with MFA meeting EO14028 requirements. Additionally, Cigent is unique in creating zero-trust endpoint architecture through hidden partitions and step-up authentication to prevent unauthorized data access.
NIAP
NIAP certification, or National Information Assurance Partnership certification, is a commercial cybersecurity product certification that ensures commercial IT products used in National Security Systems meet common criteria. NIAP certification is required by federal procurement requirements and is relevant to the Department of Defense, the Intelligence Community, and any DoD contractors or affiliates.
Cigent Secure Storage has been tested and validated NIAP providing DAR security.
