Earlier today, Sussen was certified as being OVAL compatible. Here is the message we got:

Congratulations! MMG Security’s Sussen has been granted official OVAL
Compatibility. The OVAL Community is excited to add you to the growing
list of products and services that have embraced the initiative and are
working to make IT Security better for all.

The OVAL web site should now reflect this status. We will also be
presenting you with a formal certificate, either by mail or at an
upcoming conference.

Thank you again for you support of OVAL!

Currently it’s only for the Windows version though. We had some issues with XML validation under Linux/Mono. We reported the bugs, they got fixed and are just waiting for the next Mono release. Since the Linux and Windows versions share 90%+ of their code we don’t expect any major issues getting the Linux version certified as well.
