I guess almost all of the software developers here have never really built any features then. Imagine that, all that code and the features “don’t exist”. I didn’t realize the law had such ontological power. Not certified means not certified. Not believing you have a legal obligation to get certified is a great reason to avoid that expensive and bureaucratic process.
- Spooky23 8y agoIf you’re in a regulated space or have a contractural requirement, certification matters. As an example, If you’re providing services to the government or other organization that include encryption, you must use FIPS 140-2 validated crypto. If you fail to do so, and something happens (where something ranges from audit to breach) from a legal perspective, it’s not encrypted. This is true even if you used equal or better tools to encrypt the data.
