COMMON CRITERIA

Common Criteria (CC) is an international standard (ISO/IEC 15408) for certifying computer security software. Using Protection Profiles, computer systems can be secured to certain levels that meet requirements laid out by the Common Criteria. Learn more from the Common Criteria FAQ on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3

Federal Information Processing Standard 140-2 and 140-3 ensures that cryptographic tools implement their algorithms properly. There are a number of FIPS 140-2-related articles in the Red Hat Customer Portal. You'll find a complete list of all FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 certificates at the NIST CMVP website. The Red Hat certificates are below.

A note on applicability: The exact platform and environment tested is specified in the Security Policy for each certificate, though generally applicable to other Red Hat products where the binary versions of modules are running unmodified as well. FIPS 140 certificates issued to Red Hat are not generally applicable to non-Red Hat products. Please see the Security Policy, available at the links that follow, for specifics. Module binaries may be unchanged across Red Hat Enterprise Linux minor releases. In this case Red Hat reports the same applicable module version and certificate for such releases.

Secure Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIG)

Any DOD system must meet the STIG requirements before they are fielded. Below you'll find a list of guidance documents that can help you meet the STIG requirements. You can now apply STIG requirements with ease using the OpenSCAP tools and the scap-security-guide package for security policies. SCAP is U.S. standard maintained by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). The OpenSCAP project is a collection of open source tools for implementing and enforcing this standard, and has been awarded the SCAP 1.2 certification by NIST.

US ARMY CERTIFICATE OF NETWORTHINESS

Army Networthiness (NW) provides an operational assessment of all systems, applications, and devices to determine supportability, sustainability, interoperability, and compliance with federal, DOD, and Army regulations and mandates. Army Regulation AR 25-1, paragraph 6-3(c), states that all activities must obtain a Certificate of Networthiness (CON) before connecting hardware or software to the LandWarNet (LWN).

The Army NW determines whether an application or system is capable or worthy to go on the Army's enterprise network and helps the Army reach its goal of establishing a standard baseline by establishing and utilizing enterprise license agreements.

NW was developed to prevent unmanaged deployments of software and hardware. It also serves as a way of ensuring that applications and hardware that connect to LWN are interoperable and will not damage other systems on the network by introducing new threats.

Networthiness certification applies to all organizations fielding, using, or managing IT assets on the LandWarNet:

  • All applications (including COTS)
  • All Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) software
  • All web services
  • Collaboration tools and services
  • Tactical systems
  • New, legacy, and fielded systems

A list of software with approved CONs is identified on the Army's Networthiness Program. website.

FISMA

All federal agencies must comply with the Federal Information Security Management Act and Red Hat works to make that process as simple as possible. FISMA is not a product certification, rather an evaluation of the entire information system. Red Hat publishes configuration guidance for the NIST 800-53 controls that compromise FISMA Moderate. This is reflected in our USGCB baseline. Reviewing the USGCB content is a great place to start.

FedRAMP

FedRAMP is a variant of the FISMA process for cloud providers and is not a product certification. Just like FISMA, USGCB content is a great place to start for compliance questions. You may also be interested in talking with your Red Hat account manager about our Certified Cloud Provider Program. Red Hat components have been used in FedRAMP certified offerings, such as:

CSRA's ARC-P Cloud:
Offers FedRAMP High certified IaaS and PaaS, based off Red Hat OpenStack Platform and Red Hat OpenShift v3. Details and certification packages can be found on the GSA FedRAMP Marketplace.

BlackMesh's Secure Cloud:
Offers FedRAMP Moderate certified PaaS, based off Red Hat OpenShift v3. Details and certification packages can be found on their GSA FedRAMP Marketplace.

ICD 503:
Red Hat has collaborated with the National Security Agency to release RHEL configuration guidance against ICD 503 and CNSSI 1253. This collaboration occurs in the OpenSCAP/SCAP Security Guide project, with profiles shipping natively in RHEL via the "CS2" baseline

NISPOM CHAPTER 8

You can find guidance on meeting Chapter 8 requirements in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual.

HIPAA Overview

HIPAA refers to the US Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act of 2009. HIPAA is a United States federal law designed to protect the privacy and security of protected health information (PHI). Covered entities and business associates may ask Red Hat to act as a business associate (as defined by HIPAA) and Red Hat is prepared to act as a business associate with respect to the Red Hat HIPAA-Qualified Online Services offerings listed below. The customer is responsible for its own overall compliance with HIPAA, and it is the customer’s responsibility to understand, assess and comply with its applicable requirements. Please contact your Red Hat sales account representative to enter into a Red Hat Business Associate Agreement, if applicable.

HIPAA Implementation Guide

HIPAA Qualified Online Services
Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated, v. 4 (Only Customer Cloud Subscriptions*)
Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS (ROSA) v. 4
Red Hat OpenShift Application Programming Interface (API) Manager (RHOAM), v. 1.0 (Only Customer Cloud Subscriptions*)
Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation (RHODF), v. 4 (Only Customer Cloud Subscriptions*)
Red Hat OpenShift Data Science (RHODS), v. 1 (Only Customer Cloud Subscriptions*)

*These Red Hat HIPAA-Qualified Online Services are limited to “Customer Cloud Subscriptions” which means they are Red Hat Online Services where the customer separately purchases or procures the underlying hosting infrastructure services from a cloud provider.

Red Hat Security Declaration - DCMS Telecommunications Code of Practice

This document provides Red Hat security declaration in response to the DCMS Code of Practice Vendor Security Assessment request and an overview of Red Hat’s alignment with the published UK Telecommunications Security Act Code of Practice.

Trade Agreements Act (TAA)

The Trade Agreements Act (TAA) of 1979 was enacted to foster fair and open international trade. Under TAA, the products and/or services offered on your GSA Schedule contract are required to be only U.S. made or TAA designated country end products.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux is a U.S. made end product, a designated country end product, a Caribbean Basin country end product, a Canadian end product or a Mexican end product as defined in the clause entitled “Trade Agreements Act” FAR 52.225-5.
