#### Q: Is Bitwarden FIPS Compliant?
**A:** Bitwarden uses [FIPS compliant libraries and cryptography](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/what-encryption-is-used/#invoked-crypto-libraries), however the Bitwarden platform has not performed any FIPs certifications. Most FIPS installations of Bitwarden leverage the self-hosting option to make evaluations (i.e. Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification) easier.

**A:** Using self-hosting, you can use custom firewall and NGINX configurations as well as VPN/VLAN access control to determine the device types and/or network layer access for your Bitwarden instance. You may also use other tools such as device-level certificates to control specific device access to the Bitwarden instance as well.
