Chapter 3. Recertification

Complete your recertification process annually to be compliant with the Red Hat products or platform.

During the recertification process, you must rescan the latest Red Hat test-harness images and deliver the results by initiating a new certification cycle. You must submit these results within one month of the recertification start date.

After receiving the reports, Red Hat will review and verify the results. The response timeline can vary depending on the number and complexity of issues identified in the scan. Typically, our security engineers provide feedback within one to four weeks. This review period does not count toward the two month grace period and will not result in any delay penalties caused by Red Hat’s internal review process.

Red Hat will publish updated test-harness images annually. You will then have a two months grace period to either begin the recertification process or provide a certification plan and roadmap. If you fail to take action within this time frame, Red Hat will mark the scanner as “date-flagged.”
