Product certification and Agency approved listings

In October 2013, Egress Switch was certified by CESG against Desktop and Gateway Email Encryption Security Characteristics as part of their Commercial Product Assurance program. This makes Switch suitable for sharing IL2 and low-threat IL3 data under the then guidelines, and OFFICIAL and OFFICIAL SENSITIVE under the 2014 UK government security classifications policy.[4]. As of April 2018 this certification lies with National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) and is currently extended until 20 December 2019.[5]

In May 2014, Egress Switch encryption services became available to procure via the G-Cloud 5 Framework, the UK Government’s program committed to the adoption of Cloud services across the Public Sector. Through the G-Cloud Framework, Public Sector organizations will be able to procure the following Egress Switch services: Switch Secure Email, Switch Secure File Transfer and Switch Secure Web Form via a number of Egress value added resellers.[6]

Also in May 2014, Egress Switch Secure Email was listed in the NATO Information Assurance Product Catalogue, which provides the 28 NATO nations, as well as their civil and military bodies, with a directory of Information Assurance products, protection profiles and packages that are in use or available for procurement to meet operational requirements.[7]
