Tokyo, Japan – Seiko Epson Corporation has acquired ISO/IEC 15408 certification for compliance with IEEE Std. 2600.2?-2009*1 for its high-speed WorkForce Enterprise linehead inkjet multifunction printers (MFPs), including the WF-C20590, WF-C20590a, WF-C17590, and WF-C17590a.

IEEE Std. 2600.2-2009 is an international standard that specifies information security criteria for MFPs. MFP security can be comprehensively strengthened by providing standard-compliant security functionalities such as user identification and authentication, access control, data overwrite, network protection, security management, self-test, and audit logs.

ISO/IEC 15408, also called Common Criteria (CC), is an international standard for the independent and objective evaluation of security measures in IT products and systems to determine whether those measures are properly designed and implemented.

Epson is committed to providing its customers with products that offer robust information security along with unbeatable performance and usability.
