National CERT has advised, and the Pakistan Standards and Quality Control Authority (PSQCA) has notified, that the Pakistan Security Standards (PSS) apply to products with cryptographic and ICT security functions. Reports state that full enforcement for public and private organizations is due on 1 June 2028, with earlier dates for some defense-linked bodies. The standards align with FIPS 140 and Common Criteria, and certification is pursued through accredited testing laboratories. Valtrenix does not test or certify products. We help buyers, developers and vendors prepare. Which requirements apply depends on your organization, its sector and the rules that govern it.
What the engagement covers
- Confirmation of whether and when the standards apply to your organization, products or procurement
- Inventory of products and services with cryptographic or security functions
- Review of procurement and vendor requirements for PSS expectations
- Gap view for developers and vendors against the standards and related FIPS 140 and Common Criteria concepts
- Planning toward the reported deadlines
- Preparation of documentation for discussions with accredited testing laboratories
- Readiness and advisory support only, with no product testing or certification
