 Administrative interface.
Clarification of scope
The evaluation was conducted in accordance with the Common Criteria and associated methodologies.
The scope of the evaluation was limited to those claims made in the Security Target [6].
Non-evaluated functionality and services
Potential users of the TOE are advised that some functions and services have not been evaluated as part of the
evaluation. Potential users of the TOE should carefully consider their requirements for using functions and services
outside of the evaluated configuration.
Australian Government users should refer to the Australian Government Information Security Manual [4] for policy
relating to using an evaluated product in an unevaluated configuration.
Security
The TOE Security Policy is a set of rules that defines how information within the TOE is managed and protected. The
Security Target [6] contains a summary of the evaluated functionality.
9
Usage
Evaluated configuration
Instructions for using the TOE in the evaluated configuration are provided in the Rubrik CDM v8.1.0 Guidance
Documentation Supplement Document Version 1.0, 16 May 2024 [5].
Software delivery procedures
The TOE is delivered to customers in the form of a .ova file. The download can be checked by comparison with a MD5
hash provided on the Rubrik CDM downloads page.
Installation of the TOE
The Guidance Documentation Supplement [5] contains all relevant information for the secure configuration of the TOE.
Version verification
The Rubrik software version evaluated is described as v8.1.0 but it should be noted that in full detail the version is
8.1.0-p2-24108. The version string “8.1.0-p2-24108” is expected in the virtual machine image filename.
Documentation and guidance
The Guidance Documentation Supplement [5] available from Rubrik must be used as guidance on the secure installation
and secure use of the TOE in the evaluated configuration.
Generic Common Criteria information is available at https://www.commoncriteriaportal.org.
The Australian Government Information Security Manual is available at https://www.cyber.gov.au/ism [4].
Secure usage
The evaluation of the TOE took into account certain assumptions about its operational environment. These
assumptions must hold in order to ensure the security objectives of the TOE are met.
 physical security commensurate with the value of the TOE and the data it contains is provided by the environment
 the administrators of the TOE shall not have any malicious intention, shall receive proper training on the TOE
management and shall follow the administrator guidelines.

Evaluation
Overview
This chapter contains information about the procedures used in conducting the evaluation and the testing conducted as
part of the evaluation.
Evaluation procedures
The criteria against which the Target of Evaluation (TOE) has been evaluated are contained in the Common Criteria for
Information Technology Security Evaluation Version 3.1 Revision 5, Parts 2 and 3 [1, 2].
Testing methodology was drawn from Common Methodology for Information Technology Security, April 2017 Version
3.1 Revision 5 [3].
The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the operational procedures of the Australian Information Security
Evaluation Program [9]. In addition, the conditions outlined in the Arrangement on the Recognition of Common Criteria
Certificates in the field of Information Technology Security were also upheld [8].
Functional testing
To gain confidence that the developer testing was sufficient to ensure the correct operation of the TOE, the evaluators
analysed the evidence of the developer’s testing effort. This analysis included examining the test coverage, test plans
and procedures, and expected and actual results. The evaluators found that the developer tests covered all Security
Functional Requirements specified in the Security Target.
The evaluators examined the TOE prior to testing and determined that the test configuration was consistent with the
configuration under evaluation as specified in the Security Target. The evaluators followed the user installation and
configuration guidance to ensure that the TOE had been installed correctly and was in a known state prior to
conducting testing.
The evaluators drew upon the developer testing evidence to perform a sample of the developer tests in order to verify
that the test results were consistent with those recorded by the developers. The evaluators also devised and conducted
additional functional testing.
Penetration testing
A vulnerability analysis of the TOE was conducted in order to identify any obvious vulnerability in the product and to
show that the vulnerabilities were not exploitable in the intended environment of the TOE.
The evaluator performed a vulnerability analysis of the TOE in order to identify any obvious security vulnerability in the
product, and if identified, to show that the security vulnerabilities were not exploitable in the intended environment of
the TOE. This analysis included a search for possible security vulnerabilities in publicly-available information.
The following factors have been taken into consideration during the penetration tests:
 time taken to identify and exploit (elapsed time)
 specialist technical expertise required (specialist expertise)
 knowledge of the TOE design and operation (knowledge of the TOE)
 window of opportunity
 IT hardware/software or other equipment required for exploitation.

Certification
Overview
This chapter contains information about the result of the certification, an overview of the assurance provided and
recommendations made by the certifiers.
Assurance
EAL2 provides assurance by providing a full Security Target and an analysis of the Security Functional Requirements
(SFRs) in that Security Target, using a functional and interface specification, guidance documentation and a basic
description of the architecture of the TOE, to understand the security behaviour.
The analysis is supported by independent testing of the TOE Security Functionality (TSF), evidence of developer testing
based on the functional specification, selective independent confirmation of the developer test results, and a
vulnerability analysis (based upon the functional specification, TOE design, security architecture description and
guidance evidence provided) demonstrating resistance to penetration attackers with a basic attack potential.
EAL2 also provides assurance through use of a configuration management system and evidence of secure delivery
procedures.
This EAL represents a meaningful increase in assurance from EAL1 by requiring developer testing, a vulnerability
analysis (in addition to the search of the public domain), and independent testing based upon more detailed TOE
specifications.
Certification result
Teron Labs has determined that the TOE upholds the claims made in the Security Target [6] and has met the
requirements of Common Criteria EAL2 augmented with ALC_FLR.1 (Basic flaw remediation).
After due consideration of the conduct of the evaluation as reported to the certifiers, and of the Evaluation Technical
Report [7], the Australian Certification Authority certifies the evaluation of Rubrik Cloud Data Management v8.1.0
performed by the Australian Information Security Evaluation Facility, Teron Labs.
Certification is not a guarantee of freedom from security vulnerabilities.
Recommendations
Not all of the evaluated functionality present in the TOE may be suitable for Australian Government users. For further
guidance, Australian Government users should refer to the Australian Government Information Security Manual [4].
Potential purchasers of the TOE should review the intended operational environment and ensure that they are
comfortable that the stated security objectives for the operational environment can be suitably addressed.
In addition to ensuring that the assumptions concerning the operational environment are fulfilled, and the guidance
document is followed, the Australian Certification Authority also recommends:
 potential purchasers of the TOE should review the intended operational environment and ensure that they are
comfortable that the stated security objectives for the operational environment can be suitably addressed
 the users should make themselves familiar with the guidance provided with the TOE and pay attention to all
security warnings. In particular, the Rubrik Cloud Data Management v8.1.0 Guidance Document Supplement
document must be followed for this TOE to be used in an evaluated configuration
