OCP SECURITY FRAMEWORK | CERTIFIED ASSESSOR
Open Compute Project Security Appraisal Framework Evaluation (OCP SAFE)
Leverage our expertise to navigate the Open Compute Project Security Appraisal Framework Evaluation (OCP SAFE) process, ensuring your data center and cloud devices, appliances, etc., meet the highest security benchmarks. We help certify your infrastructure by partnering with you on a journey to achieving OCP SAFE standards before they become compulsory for selling into global data centers and to cloud service providers.
Utilizing OCP SAFE's comprehensive guidelines, our team conducts in-depth assessments to safeguard your assets and user data against emerging threats, fostering trust and compliance in your digital infrastructure.
What is OCP SAFE?
The Open Compute Project Security Appraisal Framework Evaluation (OCP SAFE) is a comprehensive security standard designed for the technology deployed in data centers and cloud environments. It focuses on ensuring that hardware and software components meet rigorous security criteria to protect against vulnerabilities and threats. OCP SAFE successfully establishes a baseline for security that promotes transparency, trust, and resilience in the infrastructure that powers the modern digital world. By adhering to OCP SAFE standards, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to security excellence and operational integrity.
OCP SAFE is made up of a standardized device-specific audit checklist, developed and open-sourced by the OCP community, along with criteria for selecting third-party device security review auditors who, if qualified, become designated OCP Security Review Providers (SRP). As an OCP-recognized SRP and core contributor to the testing/evaluation methodologies, IOActive is one of the founding vendors qualified to conduct device security reviews based on the SAFE checklist.
