Homeland
Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12)/PIV Services |
|
The proposed federal PIV card will change the facility and logical access paradigm of today; it will allow easier access, stricter authentication, and practically no “strong” passwords. Because the deadline for implementing PIV cards is October 2006, comprehensive plans for realizing HSPD-12 compliance goals must be developed immediately. The steps necessary to achieve these goals are challenging, but even more important is ensuring that your personnel use the new credentials Planning and program management are essential in the early stages of implementation, considering the organizations impacted include human resources, facilities/building operations, security, and information technology (IT). Several human factors must be considered, such as thinking through how people work and what spaces and systems they need to access in performing their various roles. HSPD-12 compliance is not as simple as issuing new picture ID cards or a new password scheme for computer access. This mandate will impact your entire organization and its day-to-day business operations. Our Solution As a GSA-qualified SIN 132-62 HSPD-12 Solutions Provider and leader in smart card, PKI, and integrated security solutions for the federal government, Maden Technologies can help your agency achieve HSPD-12 compliance. Whether at the initial stages of HSPD-12 requirements gathering, developing your implementation plan, or executing your plan, Maden Technologies’ experience and proven expertise can amplify your HSPD-12 program lifecycle. Maden Technologies offers consulting services to support your agency’s HSPD-12 goals, including: planning, program management, registration and vetting, card production and issuance, sustainment/administration, card applications, and usage. Our Capabilities The Department of Defense (DoD) is the federal organization with the broadest and deepest experience using smart cards as identification credentials. In the five years that DoD has been issuing Common Access Cards (CACs), more than 8 million have been assigned; approximately 4 million CACs are currently in use. During that time, Maden Technologies provided planning, program management, and systems engineering to the US Army in support of the issuance and use of CACs Army-wide. We continue to support the Army’s Information Assurance program, CAC/PKI Division, and the DoD’s Access Card Office. Our support of the DoD effort allowed us to create a unique experience base of lessons learned, encompassing both technical and human factors. This experience is a multiplier for the planning and implementation of PIV cards, which in most organizations will be dramatically similar to the DoD’s CAC implementation. Additionally, Maden Technologies has performed physical security support for a range of DoD and federal organizations. We maintain a Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility (SCIF) and repeatedly receive exceptional reviews from our Defense Security Service (DSS) industrial security audits. Our solutions are consistent with FIPS 201 requirements; using a PIV card significantly strengthens the assurance that the right person is authorized to gain access. Our Approach The Maden Technologies’ approach focuses on planning and the program management life cycle. We facilitate the entire change process from the CXO sponsorship to human resources, IT, and your agency’s security managers. Our cost-effective assistance at any stage of your implementation keeps you within budget. Our consulting services ensure your HSPD-12 requirements are met. |
