HID Global’s pivCLASS Registration Engine provides the VA Financial Services Center with a single, PIV-compliant access control credential. The Financial Services Center in Austin, Texas is an organization of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs that offers a range of financial and accounting products and services to both the VA and other government agencies.
When the Financial Services Center and its 300 employees moved into a brand new facility it needed to implement an access control and credentialing system that would both enable it to manage the access of its employees and also comply with FIPS-201, which requires a common identification standard for Federal employees and contractors as mandated by the government thanks to HSPD-12, Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12.
