Federal agencies and private organizations around the world are required to prove that their infrastructure components, including vendor products, comply with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). From a business perspective, knowing that your IT security tools, including Password Manager Pro, are FIPS compliant lets you promise your customers their information has state-of-the-art protection, including AES-256 encryption.
If you're using MS SQL server as a back-end database, you can configure Password Manager Pro to operate in FIPS 140-2-compliant mode. This means that it will run with FIPS-certified libraries, using the standards required for enhanced security.
