Data sources

We are getting information from the following data sources:

  • The commoncriteriaportal.org, which we use as the trusted source of Protection Profile data. We scrape its HTML site for protection profiles and download the available PDFs: certification reports and protection profiles themselves. We run a caching proxy to minimize the load on the CC portal and disperse it over time by keeping the cache hot.
