UK GovPass Compliance with HID Readers
HID, a worldwide provider of trusted identity solutions, has confirmed 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.
Signo readers underwent rigorous evaluation, testing and certification to deliver enhanced security and compliance for government facilities under the UK government’s standard for card encryption.
As more government departments adopt the GovPass standard, HID Signo readers offer a reliable and efficient path to compliance.
Spencer Marshall, Head of Europe at HID, said: “HID is committed to providing innovative solutions that support the UK government’s open standards approach to secure identity management. Our Signo readers offer a compelling option for organizations seeking to achieve GovPass compliance while enhancing overall security.”
