Section 7 – Canon Solutions & Regulatory Requirements

Canon is dedicated to providing the most secure multifunctional printers available on the market today. Many of our products meet or exceed the requirements of government agencies and private entities as they relate to security certifications and industry regulations.

7.1 – Common Criteria

Beginning on July 1, 2002, the Department of Defense required a broad group of commercial hardware/software suppliers to have their products evaluated using a standard known as Common Criteria to determine its fitness for the department’s use.

Following the development of the Common Criteria, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Security Agency, in cooperation and collaboration with the U.S. State Department, worked closely with their partners in the CC Project to produce a mutual recognition arrangement for IT security evaluations that use the Common Criteria. The Arrangement is officially known as the Arrangement on the Mutual Recognition of Common Criteria Certificates in the field of IT Security. It states that each participant will recognize evaluations performed using the Common Criteria evaluation methodology where product certificates have been issued by the Mutually Recognized producing nations for EAL1-EAL4 evaluations. Evaluation Assurance components found in EAL5-EAL7 are not part of the mutual recognition arrangement.

The list of Common Criteria Recognition Arrangement members currently includes Australia, Austria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom and United States.

7.2 – Common Criteria Certification

The Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation (CC), ISO/IEC 15408 Standard, defines general concepts and principles of IT security evaluation and presents a general model of evaluation. It presents constructs for expressing IT security objectives, for selecting and defining IT security requirements, and for writing high-level specifications for products and systems. It specifies information security functional requirements and seven predefined assurance packages, known as Evaluated Assurance Levels (EALs), against which products' functions are tested and evaluated. The seven EALS provide both the vendor and user with flexibility to define functional and assurance requirements that are unique to their operating environments and to obtain an evaluated product best suited to those needs.

Hardware and software companies around the world use the Common Criteria (CC) evaluation program to provide a means of comparison for the level of assurance that their products provide. As a cautionary note, while the evaluation program is very effective at validating a manufacturer’s claims, it does not measure the overall security capabilities or vulnerabilities as a whole. Therefore, Common Criteria certification should be one of many considerations when choosing security-related products instead of being considered the de-facto standard.

Paper Shredder specifications

Canon has established a strong reputation for producing reliable and efficient office equipment, and their range of paper shredders is no exception. Designed to cater to both personal and professional use, Canon paper shredders combine advanced technology with user-friendly features to ensure optimal performance and security.

One of the standout characteristics of Canon paper shredders is their high-security shredding capabilities. Many models offer cross-cut or micro-cut shredding, which transforms documents into tiny particles that make it nearly impossible for unauthorized individuals to reconstruct sensitive information. This is particularly important in today's digital age, where data breaches and identity theft are of significant concern.

Another key feature is the processing speed of Canon paper shredders. With rapid sheet capacity, users can quickly shred large volumes of documents, making these shredders a valuable asset in busy office environments. Their durable motor ensures consistent performance without overheating, even during extended use.

Innovation is also at the forefront of Canon’s technology. Many shredders are equipped with advanced jam-proof systems, which detect potential jams in real-time and automatically reverse the shredding process to prevent damage. This ensures smooth operation and reduces downtime due to maintenance issues.

Moreover, Canon paper shredders offer a variety of convenience features tailored to enhance user experience. Many models come with large, easy-to-empty waste bins, allowing for fewer interruptions during the shredding process. Some even feature LED indicators that alert users when the bin is full or when shredding is in progress.

Portability is another important aspect, with several Canon models designed to be compact and lightweight. This allows users to easily transport the shredder between home and office settings.

Lastly, energy efficiency is a priority in Canon’s design process. Many shredders come equipped with automatic shut-off functions that engage after periods of inactivity, helping to conserve power and reduce energy costs.

In summary, Canon paper shredders are characterized by their high-security shredding capabilities, fast processing speeds, innovative technologies to prevent jams, convenient design features, portability, and energy efficiency. Ideal for maintaining confidentiality and organization in both personal and professional settings, Canon paper shredders continue to set a high standard in the shredding industry.
