FIPS 140-2 certificate #2684 · Cisco Systems, Inc. · data as of 2026-09-03

Cisco C819 ISR, C880 ISR, C890 ISR, CGR 2010, C800M, ESR5921, and IR809, from Cisco Systems, Inc., holds FIPS 140-2 certificate #2684 at overall level 1. The validation is historical: agencies may keep the module in existing systems but not buy it new. Below are its validation history, algorithm certificates and security policy, drawn from the NIST CMVP entry.

Historical. Moved to historical list due to sunsetting. Federal agencies may reference historical validations for existing systems only, not for new procurement.

Module description

Quoted from the NIST CMVP entry for this certificate.

The Integrated Services Router (ISR) are routing platforms that provide comprehensive security services including VPN for small businesses, enterprise small branch and teleworkers. The platforms are architected to enable the next phase of branch-office evolution, providing rich media collaboration and virtualization to the branch while offering a wide-range of connectivity options.

Security level exceptions

  • Roles, Services, and Authentication: Level 3
  • Design Assurance: Level 3
  • Mitigation of Other Attacks: N/A
