1 Executive Summary
This Validation Report (VR) documents the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) assessment
of the evaluation of Acronis SCS Cyber Backup 12.5 Hardened Edition Agent (the Target of Evaluation, or
TOE). It presents the evaluation results, their justifications, and the conformance results. This VR is not an
endorsement of the TOE by any agency of the U.S. Government and no warranty of the TOE is either
expressed or implied.
This VR is intended to assist the end-user of this product and any security certification agent for that end-
user in determining the suitability of this Information Technology (IT) product in their environment. In
conjunction with this VR, end-users should review the Security Target (ST), where specific security claims
are made. The ST also describes how those security claims were evaluated and tested and any restrictions
on the evaluated configuration. This VR applies only to the specific version and configuration of the
product as evaluated and as documented in the ST. Prospective users should carefully read the
Assumptions and Clarification of Scope in Section 5 and the Validator Comments in Section 10, where any
restrictions on the evaluated configuration are highlighted.
The evaluation was performed by Leidos Common Criteria Testing Laboratory (CCTL) in Columbia,
Maryland, USA, and was completed in October 2023. The information in this report is largely derived from
the Evaluation Technical Report (ETR) and associated test report written by Leidos. The evaluation
determined that the TOE is Common Criteria Part 2 Extended and Common Criteria Part 3 Extended
conformant and meets the assurance requirements of the following document:
• Protection Profile for Application Software, Version 1.4, 7 October 2021 ([5])
• Functional Package for Transport Layer Security (TLS), Version 1.1, 12 February 2019 ([6])
The TOE identified in this VR has been evaluated at a NIAP approved CCTL using the Common
Methodology for IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev. 5) for conformance to the Common Criteria for
IT Security Evaluation (Version 3.1, Rev. 5). The evaluation has been conducted in accordance with the
provisions of the NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) and the conclusions
of the testing laboratory in the ETR are consistent with the evidence provided.
The validation team monitored the activities of the evaluation team, provided guidance on technical
issues and evaluation processes, and reviewed the individual work units documented in the ETR and the
Assurance Activities Report (AAR). The validation team found the evaluation demonstrated that the
product satisfies all the Security Functional Requirements (SFRs) and Security Assurance Requirements
(SARs) specified in the ST. The conclusions of the testing laboratory in the ETR are consistent with the
evidence produced. Therefore, the validation team concludes that the testing laboratory's findings are
accurate, the conclusions justified, and the conformance results are correct.
The Leidos evaluation team determined that the TOE is conformant to the claimed Protection Profile, and
when installed, configured and operated as described in the evaluated guidance documentation, satisfies
all the SFRs specified in the ST ([7]).

2 Identification
The CCEVS is a joint National Security Agency (NSA) and National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST) effort to establish commercial facilities to perform trusted product evaluations. Under this
program, commercial testing laboratories called Common Criteria Testing Laboratories (CCTLs) use the
Common Criteria (CC) and Common Methodology for IT Security Evaluation (CEM) to conduct security
evaluations, in accordance with National Voluntary Laboratory Assessment Program (NVLAP)
accreditation.
The NIAP Validation Body assigns Validators to monitor the CCTLs to ensure quality and consistency across
evaluations. Developers of IT products desiring a security evaluation contract with a CCTL and pay a fee
for their product’s evaluation. Upon successful completion of the evaluation, the product is added to
NIAP’s Product Compliant List (PCL).
Table 1 provides information needed to completely identify the product, including:
• The TOE—the fully qualified identifier of the product as evaluated
• The ST—the unique identification of the document describing the security features, claims, and
assurances of the product
• The conformance result of the evaluation
• The PP/PP-Modules to which the product is conformant
• The organizations and individuals participating in the evaluation.

3 TOE Architecture
Note: The following architectural description is based on the description presented in the ST.
The TOE architecture is depicted in the following figure. The TOE is indicated by the dashed red box. The
application runs on Microsoft Windows 10 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.9 as an application.
Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 SCS Hardened Edition Agent Validation Report Version 1.0
Page 5 of 19
4 Security Policy
The TOE enforces the following security policies as described in the ST.
Note: Much of the description of the security policy has been derived from the ST and the Final ETR.
4.1 Cryptographic Support
The TOE provides cryptographic functions to secure sessions between the Management Server and the
TOE using TLS v1.2. The Acronis SCS Cryptographic Library and Acronis SCS Protocol Library are used to
provide the required algorithms and protocols for all cryptographic operations. The TOE also stores its
application token in the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) or the Linux keyring, depending on the OS.
4.2 User Data Protection
The TOE protects sensitive data in non-volatile memory according to the requirements in FCS_STO_EXT.1.
The TOE restricts its access to network connectivity provided by the platform’s hardware resources.
Specifically, it will only use network connectivity for connections from itself to the Management Server
and from itself to the CA server. The TOE does not access any of the platform’s sensitive information
repositories.
4.3 Identification and Authentication
To facilitate secure communications using TLS, the TOE provides a mechanism to validate X.509v3
certificates as defined by RFC 5280. The TOE uses a CRL to check the certificate’s revocation status and
will not permit certificates to be used when the CRL is not available or if the certificate is invalid.
4.4 Security Management
The TOE does not utilize default credentials. It uses the service accounts on the platform and does not
have an authenticated user interface. The TOE does not provide any management features or functions.
Non-security-related settings are stored on the Management Server and are queried when performing
tasks. The TOE and its data are protected against unauthorized access by default file permissions.
4.5 Privacy
The TOE does not transmit Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
4.6 Protection of the TSF
The TOE does not allocate memory with both write and execute permissions and does not write user-
modifiable files to directories that contain executable files. The TOE is compiled with the /GS flag to enable
stack-based buffer overflow protection on the Windows Agent and Stack Smashing Protector (SSP) on the
Linux Agent. Both agents are compatible with their platform’s security features. The TOE uses standard
platform APIs and includes only the third-party libraries it needs to perform its functionality. The TOE is
versioned with SWID tags that comply with the minimum requirements from ISO/IEC 19770-2:2015 and
provides the ability to check for updates to the application software.
The TOE is distributed as an additional software package to the platform OS. The TOE is packaged such
that its removal results in the deletion of all traces of the application, except for configuration settings,
output files, and audit/log events. The TOE does not download, modify, replace or update its own binary
code.

4.7 Trusted Path/Channels
The TOE provides trusted channels using its cryptographic functions to encrypt transmitted sensitive data.
The TOE secures communications using TLS v1.2 between itself and the Management Server.

5 Assumptions and Clarification of Scope
5.1 Assumptions
The ST references the PP to which it claims conformance for assumptions about the use of the TOE. Those
assumptions, drawn from the claimed PP, are as follows:
• The TOE relies upon a trustworthy computing platform with a reliable time clock for its execution.
This includes the underlying platform and whatever runtime environment it provides to the TOE.
• The user of the application software is not willfully negligent or hostile, and uses the software in
compliance with the applied enterprise security policy.
• The administrator of the application software is not careless, willfully negligent or hostile, and
administers the software in compliance with the applied enterprise security policy.
5.2 Clarification of Scope
All evaluations (and all products) have limitations, as well as potential misconceptions that need clarifying.
This text covers some of the more important limitations and clarifications of this evaluation. Note that:
• As with any evaluation, this evaluation shows only that the evaluated configuration meets the
security claims made, with a certain level of assurance, achieved through performance by the
evaluation team of the evaluation activities specified in the following document:
o Protection Profile for Application Software, Version 1.4, 7 October 2021 ([5])
o Functional Package for Transport Layer Security (TLS), Version 1.1, 1 March 2019 ([6])
• This evaluation covers only the specific software distribution and version identified in this
document, and not any earlier or later versions released or in process.
• The evaluation of security functionality of the product was limited to the functionality specified
in Acronis SCS Cyber Backup 12.5 Hardened Edition Agent Security Target, Document Version 6.0,
October 11, 2023 ([7]). Any additional security related functional capabilities included in the
product were not covered by this evaluation.
• This evaluation did not specifically search for, nor attempt to exploit, vulnerabilities that were not
“obvious” or vulnerabilities to objectives not claimed in the ST. The CEM defines an “obvious”
vulnerability as one that is easily exploited with a minimum of understanding of the TOE, technical
sophistication and resources.
• The TOE must be installed, configured and managed as described in the documentation
referenced in Section 6 of this VR.
Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 SCS Hardened Edition Agent Validation Report Version 1.0

6 Documentation
The vendor offers guidance documents describing the installation process for the TOE as well as guidance
for subsequent administration and use of the applicable security features. The guidance documentation
examined during the evaluation and delivered with the TOE is as follows:
• Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 SCS Hardened Edition User Guide ([8])
• Acronis Cyber Backup 12.5 SCS Hardened Edition Agent v12.5 Guidance Documentation
Supplement, Version 0.6, September 21, 2023. ([9])
To use the product in the evaluated configuration, the product must be configured as specified in this
documentation.
Any additional customer documentation provided with the product, or that which may be available online,
was not included in the scope of the evaluation and therefore should not be relied upon to configure or
operate the TOE as evaluated. Consumers are encouraged to download the evaluated administrative
guidance documentation from the NIAP website.

9 Results of the Evaluation
The results of the evaluation of the TOE against its target assurance requirements are generally described
in this section and are presented in detail in the proprietary Evaluation Technical Report for Acronis SCS
Cyber Backup 12.5 Agent ([10]). The reader of this VR can assume that all assurance activities and work
units received passing verdicts.
A verdict for an assurance component is determined by the resulting verdicts assigned to the
corresponding evaluator action elements. The evaluation was conducted based upon CC version 3.1,
revision 5 ([1], [2], [3]) and CEM version 3.1, revision 5 ([4]), and the specific evaluation activities specified
in:
• Protection Profile for Application Software, Version 1.4, 7 October 2021 ([5]).
• Functional Package for Transport Layer Security (TLS), Version 1.1, 1 March 2019 [(6])

10 Validator Comments/Recommendations
The validators suggest that the consumer pay particular attention to the evaluated configuration of the
TOE. As stated in the Clarification of Scope, the evaluated functionality is scoped exclusively to the SFRs
specified in the Security Target, and the only evaluated functionality was that which was described by the
SFRs claimed in the Security Target. All other functionality provided by the TOE needs to be assessed
separately and no further conclusions can be drawn about its effectiveness.
Consumers employing the TOE must follow the configuration instructions provided in the Configuration
Guidance documentation listed in Section 6 to ensure the evaluated configuration is established and
maintained.
The most recent vulnerability search prior to completion of the validation identified four vulnerabilities
applicable to the tested version of the TOE. The vendor has corrected these fixes as part of their regular
hot-fix cycle, and will be releasing them and regression testing them approximately 3-4 weeks after
completion of the validation (per ALC_TSU_EXT.1 remediation procedures for High priority findings), at
which time this VR will be published. The product identification of build 17000 in the VR and in the PCL
entry reflect the product version with this hot-fix applied.
