HID Global's pivCLASS Government Solutions portfolio enables facilities to upgrade their existing physical access control system (PACS) to achieve FIPS 201 compliance.
The pivCLASS contactless readers (R10 and R40) and their proximity-enabled versions deliver the "Controlled" assurance level defined in the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) SP 800-116 guidelines when used with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) to perform a single-factor authentication check.
