Identity and Access Solutions

C5i's Identity and Access Solutions for government are FIPS 201 compliant and give you control of physical access to office floors, workspaces, buildings, data centers, data/phone closets, and other facilities, as well as control of logical access to networks, databases, host systems, and other IT resources.

C5i is the leader in IT security convergence, providing holistic security solutions that meet customers' needs. C5i security experts can help you cut costs by taking advantage of the convergence of IT security with physical security functions, all while meeting federal standards. For example, consolidating credentials for IT and physical access onto a single PIV card will save your organization money in the long run and improve security.

C5i has partnered with leading technology companies to deliver integrated solutions that ensure virtually impenetrable physical and logical protection. We have extensive experience with biometrics, facial recognition technology, smart cards, proximity cards, electronic visitor logs, wireless technologies, PKI security, and video surveillance technology. C5i can help you safeguard your sensitive data while enabling authorized users to view content, log on to networks, or gain entry to facilities.

Physical Access Controls

To prevent unauthorized access to your computer systems and data, you should restrict the number of people who have physical access to important IT facilities and assets. Typical physical access controls in IT office and data center environments include keycode pads, card readers, or biometric devices. However, this year OMB requires agencies to migrate to the PIV II standard where biometric data is integrated into access cards for both physical and logical access across agencies.

C5i security experts can help you comply with FIPS 201 and choose the right PIV card solution for your agency or organization - we work with a wide range of card and biometric readers, PIN readers, and software solutions and understand the NIST requirements for the cards, readers, and supporting systems. We can also help implement a total solution and even perform the role of the PIV Card Issuer (PCI) for your organization.

C5i can also show you how to go beyond FIPS 201 by integrating intrusion detectors, such as video surveillance cameras, motion detectors, and other devices, to help detect intruders in unoccupied spaces as part of a physical security program.

C5i can help you find the most cost-effective yet secure solutions to protect your IT facilities.

Logical Access Controls

Logical access controls are the computer-based access mechanisms that allow specific groups of users to access certain types of systems or information depending on their job function. They typically include passwords, access control lists (user groups), and encryption.

While users must have access to systems and data to do their jobs, management should carefully consider the amount and type of information users should be given access to. And now with FIPS 201, level of access will be controlled by each user's PIV card after a successful background check.

C5i can help you implement your FIPS 201-compliant logical access control system.

C5i can also show you how to simplify the administration and management of user access accounts by using an identity management system. Identity management systems can help reduce costs and save time by automating common ID chores. Let C5i set up your ID management solution today.
