Airport Identity and Access Control Services

Airports operate complex, high-security environments involving federal agencies, airport authorities, airlines, contractors, law enforcement, emergency responders, tenants, and vendors. Maintaining secure, interoperable identity and access control across this diverse ecosystem requires strong credentialing, modern ICAM practices, and PACS architectures aligned with regulatory and operational requirements.

SynchroCyber helps airports modernize their identity and access systems by leveraging smartcard-based credentials, PKI-backed authentication, ICAM-aligned processes, and Zero Trust principles. 

Airport Identity and Credential Modernization

We support airport operators seeking to strengthen access control, reduce identity risk, improve badge lifecycle governance, and integrate physical access systems with enterprise identity and security programs.

Airport identity programs must support a wide range of credential types and assurance levels while maintaining consistent governance and lifecycle control. SynchroCyber supports airport organizations by advising on identity and credential modernization efforts that account for:

Mixed credential populations, including airport-issued badges and federally issued credentials such as PIV, PIV-I, and TWIC
Identity proofing, enrollment, issuance, maintenance, and revocation workflows appropriate to airport operations
Interoperability between airport systems and external organizations, including federal agencies and regulated partners
Alignment with federal identity standards and guidance, where applicable

What We Do

SynchroCyber does not issue TWIC or PIV credentials; however, we support airports by helping ensure that airport systems can safely interoperate with federally credentialed personnel, including TSA, FAA, and federal law enforcement.For foundational identity and credential lifecycle concepts, see ICAM Services and Credentialing Services.

Physical Access Control Systems for Airport Environments

Airports rely on physical access control systems to enforce access policies across terminals, airfields, tenant spaces, and secure operations areas. SynchroCyber provides advisory support for PACS modernization and alignment, including:

  • Assessment of PACS architectures in complex, multi-facility environments
  • Alignment of readers, controllers, and backend systems with high-assurance credential use
  • Support for integrating physical access policies with broader identity governance frameworks
  • Guidance on standards-based approaches to physical access validation

Detailed PACS architecture and validation services are described on the Federal PACS Services page.
