Description
HID Global’s pivCLASS readers deliver exceptional value for facility security, ensuring organizations comply with FIPS 201 standards. This comprehensive portfolio features a wide range of contactless, contact-plus-contactless, and biometric access control readers. These innovative readers are designed to integrate seamlessly with the pivCLASS Authentication Module (PAM) to satisfy the assurance level requirements outlined in NIST Special Publication 800-116 and the federal government’s FICAM E-PACS guidelines. Many pivCLASS readers are versatile, supporting both Wiegand and PAM modes. Operating in Wiegand mode allows deployment without PAM, facilitating a gradual transition to FIPS 201 compliance. Transitioning from Wiegand mode to PAM mode is straightforward and can be achieved onsite by reconfiguring the reader’s firmware.
