The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) purchased additional licenses for Electrosoft’s ESWAT-PIV tool as well as professional services to support the customization of this tool for assessing facility security requirements. ESWAT-PIV is the only automated commercially-available tool that supports the assessment of a PIV Card Issuer (PCI) against the requirements of NIST Special Publication 800-79-1. Electrosoft employees are co-authors of the NIST SP 800-79-1 guideline. PIV Cards are smart card based strong identity authentication credentials that are mandatory for federal employees and contractors.
