Where are the checksums (MD5, SHA1, etc.) for current Sophos file downloads published?

I've recently downloaded both "sav-linux-free-9.tgz" (Sophos Antivirus for Linux Free Edition) and "SW-SFOS_15.01.0_MR-1.1-407.iso" (Sophos XG Firewall Home Edition) and haven' been able to find checksums offered for either of them. Neither during the download process, via on site search, nor via Google.

Sophos antivirus was mentioned favorably in a Linux tips youtube vid I watched earlier, but at this point I feel discomforted by the lack of readily available checksums. I'm inclined to expect the basic security step of file integrity confirmation to not only be readily available but explicitly encouraged when downloading files presented as security software.

I'd still like to explore Sophos products (once I've been offered current checksums) as Sophos products have been recommended as quality software. But I also want to strongly encourage those managing Sophos' web-pages to consider how the checksum oversight reflects upon such quality and implement solutions accordingly.

Thanks for your time and consideration,
