Apple's commitment to security begins with its hardware, integrating security capabilities directly into the silicon used across its devices, from iPhones running iOS to Macs running macOS.

These hardware security features are further leveraged by Apple's operating systems, including iPadOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. Certifications for these operating systems cover critical aspects like the boot-up process, software updates, and continuous operation, building upon the secure foundation provided by the hardware.

Beyond devices and operating systems, Apple also extends its security assurance to its services. The company maintains security certifications for its service offerings, focusing on controls within its data centers and those integrated into the security lifecycle of these services. These comprehensive certifications aim to provide assurance for both its products and its service infrastructure.
