Transparency
Our Commitment to You
The latest Cisco Transparency Report answers our customers’ top inquiries about government data demands.
Software Transparency
Software Bill of Materials
A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) provides an important layer of transparency and accountability to help customers keep their network healthy and software supply chain secure.
Secure Software Development Attestations
Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF) Attestations are evidence for stakeholders that a software product is trustworthy and has been developed with a strong emphasis on security to help reduce risk and increase confidence in cyber resilience.
Federal Customers can request a Secure Software Development Attestation by contacting their Cisco Account Manager.
Transparency Report
Cisco is committed to publishing data regarding requests or demands for customer data that we receive from law enforcement and national security agencies around the world. We will publish this data twice yearly (covering a reporting period of either January-to-June or July-to-December). Like other technology companies, we will publish this data six months after the end of a given reporting period in compliance with restrictions on the timing of such reports.
How we protect data from unlawful demands
Cisco requires that government and law enforcement agencies first seek to obtain data from Cisco customers directly.
When they demand data from Cisco, we require strict adherence to applicable laws as outlined in our Law Enforcement Guidelines for Government Data Demands.
Submit Legal Process to Cisco
If you are an official representative of a Government or Law Enforcement agency and you are seeking data from Cisco, you may submit your legal demand via Cisco’s government data request intake process.
Global Certifications and Standards
