AISEP – Australasian Information Security Evaluation Program

The Australasian Information Security Evaluation Program (AISEP) tests ICT security products for possible inclusion on the Evaluated Products List (EPL).

• The Defence Signals Directorate’s certification office, the Australasian Certification Authority (ACA), oversees AISEP product testing by licensed commercial evaluation facilities.
• Australasian Information Security Evaluation Facilities (AISEF) are licenced to perform AISEP evaluations and have been accredited by the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA).
• ICT security professionals should use the EPL and Information Security Manual principles when developing systems for Australian and New Zealand government agencies. Consult the New Zealand Information Security Manual for specific New Zealand Government requirements.
• Developers and distributors are encouraged to submit ICT security products for evaluation and possible future sales to Australian and New Zealand government agencies.
