What is the Information Technology Security Evaluation Criteria (ITSEC)?
The ITSEC is a standard for IT security evaluation criteria agreed between the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, France and the Netherlands. ITSEC is a separate evaluation standard to the CC. ITSEC is managed by the Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG) within the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ). Australia and New Zealand have a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) through Bi-lateral agreement with the UK to mutually recognise ITSEC evaluation and certification E1 through E6.
