Assurance Continuity recognizes that as changes are made to a certified TOE or its environment, evaluation work previously performed need not be repeated in all circumstances. Assurance Continuity therefore defines an approach to minimizing redundancy in IT Security evaluation, allowing a determination to be made as to whether independent evaluator actions need to be re-performed.
As a result, Assurance Continuity enabled developers to provide assured products to the IT consumer in a timely and efficient manner.
The developer should report that it doesn't impact the assured level of security at all by one or more changes to TOE recognized as an Impact Analysis Report. It is necessary to execute an enough inspection with a technical background for that.
Currently, the period for acceptance of assurance continuity is specified "within five years after taking the certification with CCV3.1" in JISEC. However, the period is scheduled to be reviewed.
A developer can only submit an Impact Analysis Report to the same evaluation facility under which the original evaluation was conducted.
