Linux FIPS 140-3 Certification & Hardening

FIPS 140-3 is the current mandatory cryptographic standard for regulated industries. Zwiegnet helps organizations deploy, certify, and maintain FIPS-compliant Linux systems — ensuring validated algorithms, tamper-proof modules, and compliance with strict audit requirements.

Our FIPS 140-3 services include:

• FIPS Mode Enablement – Configure RHEL/AlmaLinux/Rocky/Ubuntu in FIPS mode, validate crypto modules (OpenSSL, NSS, kernel), and enable strict policy enforcement.
• Cryptographic Module Validation – Guide through NIST CMVP process, use validated modules, and maintain certificate lists for audits.
• Kernel & Module Hardening – Lock down kernel parameters, disable non-FIPS algorithms, enforce module signing, and integrate with Secure Boot/TPM.
• Continuous Monitoring & Compliance – Automated checks for FIPS drift, logging of crypto operations, and integration with SIEM (Splunk/ELK) for audit trails.
• PCI-DSS & FedRAMP Alignment – Map FIPS requirements to PCI 4.0, FedRAMP Moderate/High, and financial/healthcare standards; prepare for third-party assessments.
• Performance & Compatibility – Tune FIPS-compliant systems for high-throughput workloads without sacrificing security (e.g., AES-NI acceleration).
• Troubleshooting & Recovery – Resolve FIPS self-test failures, module load issues, and compliance drift; rapid remediation for audit findings.
• Migration to FIPS-Compliant Linux – Transition from non-FIPS legacy systems to certified Linux distributions with zero-downtime strategies.

Ideal for: banks, fintech, payment processors, insurance, healthcare organizations, government contractors, and any entity required to meet FIPS 140-3 for cryptographic operations.

Located between Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin since 2009 — direct access to FIPS specialists with proven experience in regulated Linux environments.
