Shift5 Achieves Prestigious CSfC Listing, Enhancing Data Security for Defense Operations

Shift5 Achieves Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Listing

Shift5, a prominent provider of operational intelligence solutions tailored for the defense and transportation sectors in America, has made a significant stride by announcing its listing as an approved vendor on the National Security Agency's (NSA) Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) program as of June 30, 2026. This milestone builds upon the company's previously secured NIAP certification from November 2025, reinforcing its commitment to data protection capabilities for defense operations.

The CSfC program is pivotal for U.S. governmental entities as it facilitates the deployment of commercial encryption solutions that conform to NSA specifications. With this listing, Shift5's Data-At-Rest Protection (DARP) software has been validated for operational technology edge devices that are utilized in tactical settings. The innovative security software allows for safe data transportation without the cumbersome administrative requirements often associated with handling sensitive information.

Ronak Shah, Chief Technology Officer at Shift5, emphasized that this CSfC listing provides defense customers with reassurance that their solutions adhere to the highest available security standards. He remarked, "The CSfC listing gives defense customers confidence that our solution meets the highest security standards. Just as important, it streamlines the authorization process. Instead of starting from scratch, customers have pre-validated assurance from the NSA. That reduces integration timelines and gets capabilities into the field faster."

However, Shah also noted that achieving this listing is not merely a one-off certification. The CSfC designation necessitates ongoing vulnerability management and compliance updates, showcasing the maturity of Shift5's technology and security operations. Evaluated by Gossamer Security Solutions, this listing applies specifically to Shift5’s hardware devices equipped with the DARP software, which is recognized across the Department of War and other federal agencies.
