10 Evaluation Analysis Activities
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of CIRT v2.1.2, including
the following areas:
Development: The evaluators analyzed the CIRT v2.1.2 functional specification and design
documentation; they determined that the design completely and accurately describes the TOE
security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems and how the TSF implements the
security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the CIRT v2.1.2 security
architectural description and determined that the initialization process is secure and that the
security functions are protected against tamper and bypass. The evaluators also
independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the design documents are
correct.
Guidance Documents: The evaluators examined the CIRT v2.1.2 preparative user guidance
and operational user guidance and determined that it sufficiently and unambiguously
describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration and how to use
and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the preparative and
operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently detailed to
result in a secure configuration.
Life-cycle support: An analysis of the CIRT v2.1.2 configuration management system and
associated documentation was performed. The evaluators found that the CIRT v2.1.2

configuration items were clearly marked and that the access control measures as described in
the configuration management documentation are effective in preventing unauthorized access
to the configuration items. The developer’s configuration management system was also
observed during the site visit, and it was found to be mature and well-developed.
During the site visit the evaluators examined the development security procedures and
determined that they detailed sufficient security measures for the development environment
to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the CIRT v2.1.2 design and implementation.
The evaluators confirmed that the developer used a documented model of the TOE life-cycle
and that the life-cycle model provides for the necessary control over the development and
maintenance of the TOE.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of
the procedures required to maintain the integrity of CIRT v2.1.2 during distribution to the
consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by AccessData Group, LLC
for CIRT v2.1.2 . During a site visit, the evaluators examined the evidence generated by
adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded that the procedures are adequate to
track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and corrections to
consumers of the product.
Vulnerability assessment: The evaluators conducted an independent vulnerability analysis
of CIRT v2.1.2. Additionally, the evaluators conducted a review of public domain
vulnerability databases, and a search of all evaluation deliverables. The evaluators identified
potential vulnerabilities for testing applicable to CIRT v2.1.2 in its operational environment.
All these evaluation activities resulted in PASS verdicts.
11 ITS Product Testing
Testing at EAL 3 consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing
independent functional tests, and performing penetration tests.
11.1 Assessment of Developer Tests
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining
their test evidence, and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR2
.

The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage and depth analysis and found them to
be complete and accurate. The correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s
test documentation and the functional specification and TOE design was complete.
11.2 Independent Functional Testing
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining
design and guidance documentation, examining the developer's test documentation,
executing a sample of the developer's test cases, and creating test cases that augmented the
developer tests.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability
of the testing procedures and results. Resulting from this test coverage approach is the
following list of EWA-Canada test goals:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The objective of this test goal is to repeat a subset of the
developer's tests;
b. Install agent with push: The objective of this test goal is to verify that an endpoint agent
can be installed using a push job from the TOE;
c. Remediation: The objective of this test goal is to verify that the endpoint agent can be
instructed to remove sensitive files from a target host PC; and
d. Memory Operation: The objective of this test goal is to demonstrate the agent’s ability to
capture endpoints memory content and save it for further investigation.
11.3 Independent Penetration Testing
Subsequent to the independent review of public domain vulnerability databases and all
evaluation deliverables, limited independent evaluator penetration testing was conducted.
The penetration tests focused on:
a. Port Scan: The objective of this test goal was to scan the TOE using a port scanner to
determine what ports were open and what services were running and to compare against
those ports that should be open and services running;
b. Information Leakage Verification: The objective of this test goal was to monitor the TOE
during start-up, shutdown, login, and other scenarios to determine if sensitive information
is leaked which could be used by an attacker;
c. Review login screen: The objective of this test case is to verify that there are no visible
vulnerabilities in the TOE’s main interface; and

d. Agent stop and start: The objective of this test case is to verify that the TOE can
gracefully stop and launch the agent service without giving away sensitive information.
The independent penetration testing did not uncover any exploitable vulnerabilities in the
intended operating environment.
11.4 Conduct of Testing
CIRT v2.1.2 was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented, independent
functional and penetration tests. The testing took place at the Information Technology
Security Evaluation and Test (ITSET) Facility at EWA-Canada. The CCS Certification Body
witnessed a portion of the independent testing. The detailed testing activities, including
configurations, procedures, test cases, expected results and observed results are documented
in a separate Test Results document.
11.5 Testing Results
The developer’s tests and the independent functional tests yielded the expected results,
giving assurance that CIRT v2.1.2 behaves as specified in its ST and functional specification
and TOE design.
12 Results of the Evaluation
This evaluation has provided the basis for an EAL 3+ level of assurance. The overall verdict
for the evaluation is PASS. These results are supported by evidence in the ETR.
13 Evaluator Comments, Observations and Recommendations
The usual method of deployment for the TOE is to have a Technical Account Manager
(TAM) representative from AccessData install and configure the product. This was witnessed
during a visit to the developer’s site.
The developer maintains a high-level of end user support for the product. This was exercised
by the evaluator during this evaluation.
