Description
HID Global’s pivCLASS readers deliver exceptional value for facility security and help organizations achieve FIPS 201 compliance. This comprehensive portfolio offers a wide range of solutions, including contactless, contact plus contactless, and biometric readers. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), these readers meet assurance level requirements set out in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and adhere to federal FICAM E-PACS guidelines. The majority of pivCLASS readers can operate in both Wiegand and PAM modes. Wiegand mode enables deployment without a PAM, offering a flexible, phased approach towards FIPS 201 compliance. Transitioning from Wiegand to PAM mode can be accomplished onsite by updating the reader firmware.
