GET Group North America, a provider of security identity, credential and access management (ICAM) solutions, has announced that its CP500 identification card printer has been Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201 certified by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA).The FIPS 201 certification process was developed as part of the response to the Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) to establish identification and authentication standards for Federal employees and contractors accessing secure facilities and information systems.The CP500 allows for very high-quality cards, combining resistance to wear, fading, and long-term color integrity with 600dpi-resolution images. The ability to add, at time of card personalization, level 2 micro-printing and/or anti-counterfeiting security features differentiates the CP500 and 600dpi printer technology, the company claims.In order to make the FIPS 201 Evaluation Program's list of approved products, the CP500 underwent rigorous testing and evaluation by the GSA to ensure the product met Federal standards for ICAM implementation. Its security features protect against card duplication and the threat of counterfeit ID production."We are pleased to be recognized by the GSA for our ability to keep up with the complex and evolving ICAM landscape by offering a product that can help safeguard the identities of Federal employees and contractors with access to locations where maintaining security is paramount," said Alex Kambanis, Managing Director for GET Group NA.
