CertiPath introduces its Trusted PACS Service, a much-needed solution for assessing, designing and deploying world-class identity and access control systems and processes. 

Combining deep industry expertise and a successful track record in managing implementations, the Trusted PACS Service helps resource-strapped organizations gain a faster path to the protection and operational efficiency provided by federated identity management.

CertiPath's Trusted PACS Service overcomes this challenge so that organizations get robust, fraud-resistant identity credentials that meet the standards of an official accreditation process, quickly and cost-effectively.  Using the Trusted PACS Maturity Model, CertiPath delivers actionable insight that supports the decision-making process. This model strategically assesses performance in key areas, including Convergence between physical and logical access control systems; Security of physical assets; Identity federation for visitors; Operational intelligence across the enterprise.

"Whether driven by federal mandates such as HSPD-12 or the need for more control and higher efficiencies, an integrated approach to managing physical access control for employees and partners just makes sense,"  said Jeff Nigriny, President of CertiPath. "We end the tug-of-war between building the ideal system and resource constraints, giving customers a clear, measured and testable approach to multi-building, multi-credential management."

 The Trusted PACS Service leverages CertiPath's experience in delivering identity management systems and credentials that meet the highest levels of assurance, as defined by FIPS 201 and the U.S. Dept. of Defense.  The service provides solutions based on best-practices in building access solutions, managing identity credentials and PKI-based identity management solutions.  CertiPath's industry leading expertise in these areas is drawn from the federal government as well as aerospace and defense giants including: BAE Systems, Boeing, EADS, Lockheed-Martin Company, Northrop-Grumman and Raytheon.
