# $ K C2 Security
The National Computer Security Center (NCSC) is the United States government agency responsible for performing software product security evaluations. These evaluations are carried out against a set of requirements outlined in the NCSC publication “Department of Defense Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria”, which is commonly referred to as the “Orange Book”. Windows NT has been successfully evaluated by the NCSC at the C2 level as defined in the Orange Book.
Because Windows NT supports C2 Level security, the workstation must be configured appropriately to apply this. Additionally, Windows NT supports security features that are not required to meet C2 Level security. The “Windows NT C2 Security System Administrator’s Guide” provides information on how to define and implement security on your system and should be reviewed for more information.
