They frequently do the rest of the hardware and software separately for consumer and enterprise, so it seems like a reasonable extrapolation.

Yes. Compliance with some MIL-xxx and FIPS-xxx specs come into my mind.

They didn't cover any products from manufacturers I actually use. In my experience, consumer products can be quite different from enterprise products.
