PIV-I & CIV Credentialing Services
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) enabled credentials play an increasingly important role in identity assurance for organizations that must support strong authentication, secure physical and logical access, and interoperability with federal identity systems.
PIV-Interoperable (PIV-I) and Commercial Identity Verification (CIV) credentials provide mechanisms for extending high-assurance identity capabilities beyond the federal government while aligning with federal standards and trust models.
What Are PIV-I and CIV Credentials?
PIV-I credentials are non-federal credentials that are interoperable with federal PIV systems through trust established via the Federal Bridge Certification Authority (FBCA). These credentials are commonly used by contractors, partners, and non-federal personnel who require secure access to federal facilities or systems.
Commercial Identity Verification (CIV) credentials are PKI-enabled credentials designed for commercial and non-federal environments. While not cross-certified with the FBCA, CIV credentials support strong identity assurance and certificate-based authentication within enterprise, state, local, and regulated environments.
Both credential types support cryptographic authentication, digital signatures, and secure access control when properly implemented within an identity governance framework.
What We Do
SynchroCyber provides advisory and integration support services to help organizations plan, design, and implement PIV-I and CIV credentialing programs that align with ICAM principles, Zero Trust strategies, and operational requirements.
Identity Proofing and Enrollment Advisory
High-assurance credentials require identity proofing and enrollment processes that align with defined assurance levels and organizational risk tolerance. SynchroCyber provides advisory support related to:
- Alignment of identity proofing practices with NIST SP 800-63 guidance
- Enrollment workflows appropriate to PIV-I and CIV credential issuance models
- Policy development for credential eligibility, sponsorship, and approval
- Governance considerations for maintaining identity integrity over time
These services focus on program design and policy alignment, not operational execution.
