HID, a worldwide pioneer in trusted identity solutions, announces that its Signo™ Readers seamlessly integrate with the UK government’s GovPass standard, built on open standards for enhanced security and flexibility.
GovPass
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.
Identity management
“HID is committed to providing innovative solutions that support the UK government’s open standards approach to secure identity management,” said Spencer Marshal, Head of Europe at HID.
“Our Signo Readers offer a compelling option for organisations seeking to achieve GovPass compliance while enhancing overall security.”
