Technical Qualification Assurance

Access control is the critical issue in credential validation. Whether it's physical access to a sensitive facility, a critical infrastructure, a key resource, or an emergency response site, security requires knowing with assurance, who an individual is and what that individual is trained to do.

Because Real-Time Verification (RTV) is a flexible technology, it delivers application solutions tailored to your unique access needs. RTV quickly and securely verifies the personal identity of individuals who request access to areas where the protection of workers, infrastructures, and /or assets is mission critical. However, we ensure that our identity-management applications are engineered so that you manage and control them -- easily and securely.

As a central application platform, RTV seamlessly collects, processes, and selectively leverages identity and credential information. Additionally, RTV's dynamic interoperability eliminates redundancy among disparate entities. That means that as a resource technology, RTV can securely read and verify the personal identity verification and identity credentials from various sources. Should the level of security and or access requirements change, RTV immediately communicates this change. Proven real-time technology -- trusted, efficient, and effective.
After the Pentagon Attack of 9/11
The need for more effective credentialing was one of the principal lessons learned during the response to the terrorist attack on the Pentagon.

Immediately after the attack, first responders from numerous federal, state, and local agencies converged on the incident scene to assist - and encountered several credentialing-related problems. ...incident commanders on the scene were frequently unaware of the specific skills and abilities of the many responders at the scene from other agencies, and that lack of background information made the efficient use of personnel considerably more difficult.
