Codebench integrates PIVCheck software with Brivo security management system
Partnership provides first HSPD-12–compliant online access control solution
COCONUT CREEK, Fla. — (Feb. 2, 2010) Codebench, Inc., the leading provider of TWIC / HSPD-12 / FIPS-201 authentication software, announced today that it has formed a technology partnership with Brivo Systems LLC to provide clients with the industry’s first HSPD-12–compliant Web-connected access control system.
Codebench’s PIVCheck software suite, an end-to-end card validation, authentication, and registration solution for HSPD-12 compliance, now seamlessly integrates with Brivo Systems’ standalone access control systems, OnSite SE™ and XE™.
Pairing the PIVCheck solution with Brivo’s access control appliances will save customers time in the card registration process and provide the capability to validate card-holder credentials on a real-time and on-going basis as required by FIPS-201. This integration supports homeland security initiatives through better screening and management of individuals seeking physical access to Federally-controlled government facilities.
In addition to this important integration, Brivo Systems will serve as a reseller of Codebench’s PIVCheck software suite.
“Codebench has demonstrated a sophisticated understanding of customer requirements in the government market and has built innovative products to meet those needs,” said John Szczygiel, Executive Vice President at Brivo. “We are pleased to partner with Codebench to provide this capability for our array of government and private sector clients who must meet Federal regulations for personnel identity verification.”
“Our technology partnership with Brivo Systems is unique because it’s the first with a Web-connected access control system solutions provider,” said Geri B. Castaldo, CEO of Codebench. “By working together, we’re able to ensure that clients can access the PIVCheck software suite without disrupting or voiding the warranty on their Brivo Systems solution. For Codebench, this also enables us to further our penetration into the federal government, utility, airport and property management markets.”
The PIVCheck software suite provides a seamless transition to HSPD-12 or FIPS-201 compliance by leveraging a facility’s physical access control system for card validation, authentication, and registration. The software uses strong, three-factor identification to determine the cardholder’s unique identifying data and biometric information, and verifies the validity of the card by checking with the appropriate X.509 certification authority or other entity, such as the TSA hot list.
