Physical location considerations

nCipher nShield HSMs are certified to NIST FIPS 140-2 level 2 and 3. In addition to the intrinsic
protection provided by an nShield HSM, customers must exercise due diligence to ensure that the
environment within which the nShield HSMs are deployed is configured properly and is regularly
examined as part of a comprehensive risk mitigation program to assess both logical and physical
threats. Applications running in the environment shall be authenticated to ensure their legitimacy and
to thwart possible proliferation of malware that could infiltrate these as they access the HSMs'
cryptographic services. The deployed environment must adopt 'defense in depth' measures and
carefully consider the physical location to prevent detection of electromagnetic emanations that might
otherwise inadvertently disclose cryptographic material.
