In a significant step for digital sovereignty and software security in Italy, Checkmarx has announced that its Checkmarx One platform has officially achieved Level 2 certification from the Agenzia per la Cybersicurezza Nazionale (ACN). This milestone positions Checkmarx as one of the first application security vendors to meet the Italian National Cybersecurity Agency's rigorous standards, enabling public-sector organizations to protect critical applications with a trusted, comprehensive security suite.
Checkmarx One achieved Level 2 certification from Italy's National Cybersecurity Agency (ACN).
The certification validates Checkmarx's security, governance, and risk management practices.
It enables Checkmarx to serve Italy's public-sector organizations with a full application security platform.
The ACN framework is a rigorous, government-backed standard similar to FedRAMP in the U.S.
This achievement supports Italy's PNRR and NIS2 directives for digital sovereignty.
Checkmarx is among the first application security vendors to reach this certification level.
The ACN framework establishes a government-verified approach to assessing the cybersecurity posture of technology providers serving Italy's digital infrastructure. Achieving Level 2 certification requires an extensive evaluation by accredited assessors, covering secure development practices, data protection, and resilience against emerging threats. This certification acts as a benchmark for cybersecurity excellence, providing both government agencies and private organizations with the confidence that their software supply chain is secured by a vetted and trusted partner.
This certification is a strategic commitment to the Italian market, directly aligning with national initiatives like the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) and the NIS2 directive. By achieving ACN Level 2, Checkmarx provides the public sector with a sovereign solution to adopt secure-by-design practices across the entire software development lifecycle. The platform's capabilities, including SAST, SCA, DAST, and API Security, are now available to help build a more resilient and secure digital Italy.
The ACN Level 2 certification solidifies Checkmarx's leadership in the application security landscape and its dedication to the Italian market. By meeting this high standard, Checkmarx empowers Italian organizations to accelerate their digital transformation journeys with the assurance that their most critical applications are protected by a platform that adheres to the nation's highest cybersecurity requirements.
