Solutions

InfoGard solves complex Privacy and Security solutions in Healthcare, Federal Government, and Payment Card markets. Our expertise in encountering and solving a wide range of challenges allows InfoGard to apply proven answers to new Security areas.

Healthcare

The Security and Privacy of Healthcare Information Technology (HIT) is receiving increasing and concerned attention. InfoGard’s detailed knowledge of Security and Privacy Technology and Compliance directives allows our clients to solve any Security issue. InfoGard, an EHR certifier since 2010, is the only certifier for Electronic Prescriptions for Controlled Substances (EPCS)—We're alert to all cutting-edge Healthcare Security requirements.  New Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) standards are rigorous, focus on subjects new to Healthcare, and will likely be adopted in a range of Healthcare areas.

Smart Card/ID

The use of Smart Cards and Tokens to manage Identity has become a reality. Identification (ID) is one of the fastest-growing Technology markets in the world. Numerous trials and deployments are currently being conducted in Healthcare, Transit, Government, Border, Passport, Contactless Payment, First Responder, and other ID areas.

The core of the ID market is Cryptography and how it is used to maintain a fair balance between Security and individual Privacy. At InfoGard we guide customers and systems owners in identifying and implementing the most effective Cryptography and Security solutions for their products or systems.

InfoGard's Cryptography expertise reflects years of evaluating Smart Card and Identity-based Cryptography products (see FIPS 140-2) and assessing high-availability Secure systems as a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) accredited FIPS 201 laboratory (see FIPS 201).

Financial Industry

The Financial industry requires and implements the best available Security. InfoGard has worked closely with Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and other giants in the Payment Card Industry (PCI) to address and improve Security requirements, as well as with Product Vendors, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and federal and local community banks.

Clients ask InfoGard to develop Security standards and pioneer Evaluation programs because we uniquely understand the physical and logical Security requirements essential to protecting financial transactions. InfoGard's Security expertise and Cryptography experience allows us to provide our customers with effective, standards-based, and best-practice solutions.

We will be happy to assist you in satisfying all applicable financial Security approvals and certifications that your business requires, whether you are a Bank, Processor, Credit Card Company, Service Provider, or Product Vendor.

Federal Government

Many Security Product Vendors are attracted to the large Federal market and its lucrative opportunities, but are wary of the complex and stringent Security requirements Vendor candidates must satisfy. InfoGard recognizes that meeting  federal Security standards and gaining necessary certifications can appear daunting, especially when added to financial concerns about costs of entering the market and receiving a required return on investment.

For nearly 20 years, InfoGard has been helping clients cost-effectively achieve required federal government Security certifications (see Common Criteria, FIPS 140-2, and FIPS 201). We share our extensive knowledge of federal agency requirements and assist our customers in analyzing and addressing Product Development cycles and Technology. We help you maximize the design of your product or system to gain the greatest possible certification efficiencies and earn attractive returns on your investment.
