FIPS is more about federal standards, not just security controls.

I’m pretty certain that TCSEC is the correct answer. It’s the one that sets the criteria for evaluating security in systems, right?

I remember learning about FIPS in my security class, so I think that's the best option here. It's a standard set by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for computer security.
