The list of Government organizations that are using or evaluating Document Detective is sensitive. It is available upon request from Government representatives.

The Deputy Director of the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) has confirmed that there is no current category in the Common Criteria for Document Detective. She also indicated that a Protection Profile was being developed for “redaction tools.” Since no Common Criteria exists, there are no NIAP approved tools with the same functionality as Document Detective. Because Document Detective does not use encryption, it is a candidate for a Deferred Compliance Authorization (DCA) in accordance with National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Policy (NSTISSP) No. 11. The DCA requirements are covered in the NSTISSP-11 fact sheet. SRS will assist you in obtaining a DCA from your Designated Approval Authority (DAA).
