Identiv, Inc. has announced that its cloud-based Hirsch Velocity security management software, Velocity Vision video management system (VMS), and Hirsch Mx Controller products have been granted Federal Risk and Authorisation Management Programme (FedRAMP) Marketplace Authoriaation following a rigorous, multi-year assessment process.

FedRAMP is a U.S. government-wide programme that promotes the adoption of secure cloud services across the U.S. federal government by providing a standardised approach to security and risk assessment for cloud technologies and federal agencies. The FedRAMP Programme Management Office (PMO) maintains the FedRAMP Marketplace, a searchable and sortable database of Authorised Cloud Service Offerings (CSOs), federal agencies using FedRAMP Authorised CSOs, and FedRAMP recognised auditors (3PAOs). By deploying FedRAMP Authorised CSOs, federal agencies can leverage standardised security authorisations on a government-wide scale, thereby accelerating the adoption of cloud computing services.

Identiv’s Hirsch VelocityVelocity Vision VMS, and Hirsch Mx Controller products are physical access control solutions, trusted and used by government agencies and commercial organisations worldwide. FedRAMP Authorisation indicates that Identiv’s cloud-based access control products have met the strict FedRAMP security requirements to provide secure access control in U.S. federal government environments.

“We are proud that our end-to-end Velocity, Velocity Vision, and Mx Controller solution has secured FedRAMP Marketplace Authorisation,” says Steve Humphreys, Identiv CEO. “This designation validates the strength of our physical security platforms and our commitment to provide the highest level of security to our customers.”

In addition to the FedRAMP Authorised designation, Identiv’s end-to-end Velocity, Velocity Vision, and Mx Controller access control solution has been certified as Federal Identity, Credential, and Access Management (FICAM)-compliant, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of identity and access management for federal agencies. Identiv’s approach to FICAM and the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201 Topology Categories addresses current physical access control system (PACS) infrastructure, validation system, and personal identity verification (PIV) readers.

“Securing FedRAMP Marketplace Authorisation for our cloud-based access control and video offerings was a rigorous process,” says David Helbock, Identiv director of product management. “With Velocity, Velocity Vision, and Hirsch Mx Controllers now available in the FedRAMP Marketplace, federal agencies can easily adopt and deploy our complete video and access cloud solutions, confident that they are deploying the best-in-class security we provide across hundreds of government facilities,” adds Helbock.
