HID has announced that its Signo Readers seamlessly integrate with the UK government’s GovPass standard, built on open standards for enhanced security and flexibility.
GovPass, the most secure government pass to date according to the UK government’s website, leverages open standards to ensure interoperability across different suppliers.
Leveraging the UK government’s standard for card encryption and HID’s pioneering expertise in Open Supervised Device Protocols, Signo Readers underwent rigorous evaluation, testing, and certification to deliver enhanced security and compliance for government facilities.
As more government departments adopt the GovPass standard, HID Signo readers offer a reliable and efficient path to compliance.
“HID is committed to providing innovative solutions that support the UK government’s open standards approach to secure identity management,” said Spencer Marshall, Head of Europe at HID. “Our Signo Readers offer a compelling option for organisations seeking to achieve GovPass compliance while enhancing overall security.”
HID Signo Readers with GovPass compliance offer:
- Security by design: The readers were designed with the UK Governments standard for card encryption and HID’s Secure Access Module for storing keys, providing the best-in-class security for government premises.
- Certified reliability: HID Signo readers have undergone rigorous evaluation, testing and certification to meet all required GovPass standards.
- Agnostic protocol: Seamlessly integration with existing infrastructure, regardless of Wiegand or OSDP communications.
- Path to migration: Users can smoothly transition to HID’s multi-technology Signo Readers, supporting custom profiles that meet GovPass Standards.
