Compliance with Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 201: Personal Identity Verification(PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors is mandatory according to Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD #12).

As a result of the directive the heads of executive departments and agencies are mandated to have a program in place to ensure that identification issued by their departments and agencies to Federal employees and contractors meets the Standard.

NIST has developed a program to ensure that products claiming to meet the standard do so, and that compliant products are recorded on the NPIVP validated products list .

Having your products appear on the list will facilitate sales of your product in the federal arena.
