Draft NIST Interagency Report (IR) 7511 Revision 3, Security Content Automation Protocol (SCAP) Version 1.2 Validation Program Test Requirements, describes the requirements that must be met by products to achieve SCAP 1.2 Validation. Validation is awarded based on a defined set of SCAP capabilities and/or individual SCAP components by independent laboratories that have been accredited for SCAP testing by the NIST National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program. Draft NISTIR 7511 Revision 3 has been written primarily for accredited laboratories and for vendors interested in receiving SCAP validation for their products.
