- Determine whether it is FIPS-compliant. Does it adhere to the security levels outlined in the Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2.
- Check additional information to see whether you need to run any steps beyond what are specified in the common procedure.
- Review also additional information to learn about other encryption standards that are supported on the service.
- ✓ indicates that the service runs on FIPS-enabled cluster.
- Blank indicates that the service does not run on FIPS-enabled cluster or is not FIPS-compliant.
