Elevating Endpoint Management – HCL BigFix Embarks on NIAP Certification

A New Benchmark in Endpoint Security

HCL BigFix, the market’s leading endpoint management company, is raising the bar on security. We’ve now entered into the evaluation stage for the NIAP (National Information Assurance Partnership) certification, the gold standard for IT security globally. This endpoint management system is a tool that is used to extend and enhance the security of all devices that sit on corporate networks.

HCL BigFix, the endpoint management system, is currently ‘In Evaluation’ on the NIAP website and we’re committed to providing the highest level of security assurance to its customers with its robust endpoint management tool.

What is NIAP and Why Does It Matter?

NIAP, a US government organization that certifies IT products to the international Common Criteria standard, guarantees that they meet severe security standards. For federal agencies and other organizations that handle sensitive information, NIAP certification is not an option—it’s a requirement.

By going for this certification, HCL BigFix verifies its capability to meet and even exceed these high standards, thus ensuring that it continues to be a good endpoint management solution for high security environments.

HCL BigFix’s Endpoint Management Solution Certification Journey

The path to NIAP certification is no small feat. HCL BigFix is being evaluated under two critical standards:

• Protection Profile for Application Software (CPP_APP_SW_V1.0e)
• Functional Package for Transport Layer Security (PKG_TLS_v2.0)

Over the past six months, HCL BigFix has undergone rigorous testing by a certified third-party lab to ensure compliance with these benchmarks. With NIAP formally accepting its documentation on December 16th, HCL BigFix is now in the final certification phase, which is expected to conclude in 180 days.

Why HCL BigFix Stands Out in Unified Endpoint Management

HCL BigFix isn’t just about meeting standards—it’s about setting them. Its Secure-By-Design methodology ensures security is built into every layer of its platform, from development to deployment, encompassing enterprise mobility management. With seamless endpoint management and proactive incident handling, BigFix offers unmatched reliability and peace of mind.

In fact, HCL BigFix is the only agent-based endpoint management solution actively pursuing NIAP certification, setting it apart from competitors and solidifying its position as a leader in secure endpoint protection.

Looking Ahead

The journey toward NIAP certification showcases HCL BigFix’s dedication to providing customers with cutting-edge security. As it moves closer to achieving this milestone, BigFix is not only enhancing its capabilities but also raising the bar for endpoint management solutions everywhere.
