Protection Profiles in Development
The following table lists all U.S. Government Protection Profiles currently being developed or modified and gives a general indication
of their current status. For additional information, please send inquiries to
scheme-comments@niap-ccevs.org.
Due to limited resources and comments received from customers and vendors, NIAP is modifying its focus on Protection Profiles development.
The priority is to complete the common requirements document and have it reviewed for public release within the next six weeks. When the
common requirements are published, emphasis will turn to Standard Protection Profile development and expected completion dates will be determined.
