Certification

Common Defense gives you a third-party attestation of your security posture across identity, communications, and operational controls. You present it to enterprise buyers, auditors, and regulators when they ask how you defend against AI-native threats.

One score, read at a glance

Each area is judged against a fixed checklist, then it either passes or it doesn't. No "medium" findings, no interpretation, just a clear result you can show the people who need to trust you.

Buyers, partners, and investors all ask whether your security holds. Certification answers with a score against a fixed checklist, pass or fail, that they can read in seconds.

Having Common Defense as our trusted vCISO and security advisors helps us provide the assurance needed for banks and fintechs to trust our infrastructure, so that we can scale up confidently. — CTO, stablecoin payments provider

Six certifiable areas

We score the six areas that decide whether your operation holds, from data protection to the channels attackers hit first. Each is judged against concrete criteria, so a pass means the same thing every time.

Why pass/fail matters

A long report full of “medium” findings tells a buyer nothing. A pass tells them exactly what they need to know, and that clarity is what lets banks, partners, and investors trust your infrastructure and move forward.
