National Information Assurance Partnership

The National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) is a U.S. government initiative that aims to enhance the security of information technology products. It does this by evaluating and certifying software and hardware to ensure they meet specific security standards. This partnership involves collaboration between government agencies, industry, and international partners to create a trusted environment for technology use. By having products evaluated for their security features, NIAP helps organizations understand risks and protect sensitive information from cyber threats, ultimately contributing to national security.
