IEEE Standard for a Protection Profile in Operational Environment A

Abstract

This standard is for a protection profile for hardcopy devices in a restrictive commercial information processing environment in which a relatively high level of document security, operational accountability, and information assurance are required. Typical information processed in this environment is trade secret, mission critical, or subject to legal and regulatory considerations such as for privacy or governance. This environment is not intended to support life-critical or national security applications. This environment will be known as "Operational Environment A".

Scope

This standard is for a Protection Profile for Hardcopy Devices in a restrictive commercial information processing environment in which a relatively high level of document security, operational accountability, and information assurance are required. The typical information processed in this environment is trade secret, mission critical, or subject to legal and regulatory considerations, such as for privacy or governance. This environment is not intended to support life-critical or national security applications. This environment will be known as “Operational Environment A.”

Purpose

The purpose of this standard is to create a security Protection Profile (PP) for Hardcopy Devices in Operational Environment A as defined in IEEE Std 2600-2008.
