Is Secret Server FIPS 140-2 certified?
No, Secret Server has not been certified since this would involve certifying any encryption algorithms that Secret Server contains. Secret Server does not implement its own encryption algorithms but rather uses industry standard encryption algorithms. Since there are no encryption algorithm implementations in Secret Server, there is nothing to certify.
Is Secret Server FIPS 140-2 compliant?
Yes, Secret Server can be configured to use FIPS 140-2 compliant mode which will then use the FIPS 140-2 certified algorithms in the Windows Operating System. Secret Server will operate correctly when running under the Windows Policy to only allow FIPS compliant algorithms.
