Canon's ImageRunner Earns EAL 3 Distinction

Canon's imageRunner 2200/2800/3300 Series Software Version iR2200N-USen50.06 with Security Kit B1 has been evaluated and validated in accordance with the provisions of the United States National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP). The product has earned the Common Criteria Certificate: Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL) 3 for conformance to the Common Criteria for IT Security Evaluation (ISO Standard 15408), according to the company.

The EAL 3 is the highest U.S. Common Criteria ranking for a multifunction product and conforms to National Security Agency recommended methods of managing classified documents and securing sensitive information.

Canon USA, a market share brand leader in black-and-white and color laser copier/printer solutions, received the Common Criteria certificate at the GOVSEC Conference in Washington, D.C., in late July. The significance of the validation is that the NIAP recognizes Canon's ability to safeguard valuable information--both internally and externally--enabling Canon's imageRUNNER devices to simultaneously deliver to U.S. work environments the highest quality MFP solutions with the highest level of security.
