What is ITSEC?
The UK Information Technology Security and Evaluation Criteria (ITSEC) scheme is a joint venture set up by the DTI and the British Government’s Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG) to evaluate the security features of IT products and systems and to certify the level of assurance which can be placed on them based on the Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria (ITSEC). Since 1990, the ITSEC scheme has been used to certify products for use in both the Government and commercial organizations.
