Description
HID Global’s pivCLASS readers deliver exceptional value in facility security and ensuring FIPS 201 compliance within organizations. This comprehensive range includes various options such as contactless, dual-interface, and biometric readers. Designed to integrate seamlessly with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM), these readers align with the assurance level criteria outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and the federal FICAM E-PACS guidelines. Most pivCLASS readers offer flexibility, capable of being deployed in either Wiegand or PAM mode. The Wiegand mode facilitates a phased approach to implementing FIPS 201 compliance without a PAM while allowing for a future transition. The conversion from Wiegand to PAM mode can be easily completed on-site by updating the reader firmware.
