Computer Weekly reported on 15 September 2010 that the IronKey is ongoing certification for use by the UK government, specifically for use by CESG, a branch of the National Technical Authority for Information Assurance.

The IronKey Enterprise S200 USB drives and management software will allow government departments to include USB media in their business plans, which will in turn be in compliance with UK legislation for data protection.  The relevant government departments can control and administer their policies over several devices using the internet, as well as control use by wiping and disabling the IronKeys remotely if required.

IronKey is said to be confident of winning the certification standard required for the S200 series, validated to FIPS 140-2 Level 3 security standards by the US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST).
