CIQ Launches First Enterprise Linux Compliance Platform for Federal Cryptographic Standards
CIQ introduces RLC Pro and RLC Pro Hardened, marking the first Enterprise Linux platforms with federally validated cryptography and post-quantum readiness. This initiative addresses critical federal compliance deadlines between September 2026 and January 2027, streamlining the certification process for organizations.

CIQ has released RLC Pro and RLC Pro Hardened, the premier Enterprise Linux platforms equipped with federally validated cryptography and post-quantum readiness. This compliance platform supports all federal deadlines converging from September 2026 to January 2027, requiring no additional rebuilds.
Organizations must present an active NIST-issued certificate for cryptographic compliance; merely enabling FIPS Mode is insufficient. Significant deadlines include the transition of FIPS 140-2 certificates to Historical status on September 21 and the introduction of quantum-resistant algorithms for national security systems by January 2027.
The RLC Pro Hardened variant reduces manual hardening time significantly and ensures 95% of federal security standards are met at build time. CIQ's NSS module has achieved CAVP certification for post-quantum algorithms, with full validation expected by Q2 2027. This comprehensive solution mitigates compliance risks for defense contractors, financial institutions, and healthcare providers.
