GSA Boston Tenant Access Control
2003-Present
XTec was awarded the GSA Region 1 Central Issuance contract
to provide multi-tenant credentialing and access control
for GSA Associates, Contractors and Tenants. GSA has a Memorandum
of Understanding in place with over 40 different agencies
and tenants of GSA, including Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Office of
Personnel Management (OPM), Department of Labor (DOL), and
Department of Justice (DOJ), for card enrollment and issuance
across multiple physical locations and physical access control.
As a solution XTec proposed a smart
card solution that fully utilized the unique features of
smart card technology and leveraged the solution provided
to GSA for the agency’s Centralized Issuance program.
- XTec’s AuthentX™ Credential Management System
(CMS) Module: The CMS is a commercially available, multi-component
system based on the AuthentX™ Authentication Server,
which is the core enabler for a rich array of authentication
and credential management services. The system contains
PIV workflow to manage the end-to-end process and supports
PIV roles for security and process flows. XTec currently
hosts the AuthentX CMS for GSA Tenants at our own facilities.
- XTec AuthentX™ Access Control System Module: The
AuthentX Access Control System is at the heart of the
physical and logical convergence of access control.
- XTec AuthentX™ Central Issuance System Module:
Our partner, Oberthur Card Systems provides mass personalization
and card encoding for XTec. XTec provides Oberthur with
complete encapsulated data files, to complete personalization
and encoding in the most efficient and secure manner.
- As a result of XTec’s implementation of AuthentXTM,
GSA completed a mass enrollment effort of 4,000 credentials
within a three week timeframe. Additionally, by implementing
one centralized credentialing infrastructure that supports
multiple agencies, standardized credentials are issued
across GSA and for all its tenants, increasing security.
XTec supported GSA’s Tenant mass enrollment effort
and continues to assist in the day-to-day enrollment. GSA
is currently issuing tenant’s credentials in the JFK
and O’Neill buildings. Each tenant has their data
segmented and secured, allowing, for example, a DHS person
with a particular role to only access and manage their employee’s
data. Hierarchies are set up for multiple agencies and,
in some cases, within an agency.
