I believe you are selling security appliances based on open source software. Most of the security products in the market are certified by NCSA <http://security.ncsa.uiuc.edu/> and perhaps other agencies. You know best what your product does and who your competitors are. I would suggest that you visit the web sites of your competitors and I am sure they have a list of all the certifications that their products comply with.
