There are over 50 documents that make up the FIPS 140-3 validation ecosystem. We help your team understand which requirements apply to your product — and how to interpret them correctly.
Clear guidance up front prevents confusion (and delays) later.

We help you identify the right certification path, select the appropriate security level, define your cryptographic module, and draw a clear cryptographic boundary. We also advise on recertification timelines based on your product roadmap.
A strong strategy at the outset sets the tone for a smooth, successful validation.

Flag issues early — before they become delays. Our pre-validation gap analysis identifies areas of non-compliance and provides actionable feedback to help you align with FIPS 140-3 and ISO/IEC 19790 requirements.
This early insight gives your team the opportunity to remediate gaps before entering validation testing.

Producing the required vendor evidence for a FIPS 140-3 submission can be daunting — but it doesn't have to be. We simplify the process by helping you develop, refine, and review all necessary documentation to align with lab expectations and program requirements.
Well-prepared evidence means fewer surprises, fewer revisions, and a smoother path to validation.

We work directly with your development team to ensure you're fully prepared for operational testing and source code review — two critical components of the validation process.
Preparation at this stage minimizes test lab delays and avoids costly rework.

Let us act as the intermediary between your team and the NVLAP-accredited Cryptographic Security Test Lab. From selecting and contracting a lab to managing communication and timelines throughout the project, we help ensure the validation process stays on track.
You focus on your product — we’ll handle the lab side.

All services are delivered by a Cryptographic Validation Program (CVP)-certified professional with a deep understanding of both vendor and lab-side requirements.

With over a decade in conformance testing — including 6+ years managing FIPS programs across two NVLAP-accredited CST Labs — CryptCore brings practical insight, not just theory.

We’ve operated on both sides of the validation process. That means we anticipate lab questions and help you meet expectations before they’re even asked.

From gap analysis and strategy to documentation and lab coordination, we support your validation effort at every stage — not just one piece of it.

We translate technical and regulatory requirements into plain language so your entire team — from engineers to execs — can stay aligned.

We don’t answer to a parent lab or testing firm. Our only goal is to help you succeed with a faster, clearer path to certification.
