Tenders Are Invited For Sps-02379 Rfid Authenticator

The Scottish Prison Service (Sps) Currently Utilises Microsoft Multi-Factor Authentication (Mfa) For Staff Operating Within Hybrid Working Environments. However, Due To Operational And Security Restrictions Within The Prison Estate, Sps Does Not Permit The Use Of Mobile Phones In Secure Areas And Is Therefore Unable To Adopt Microsoft Authenticator For Many Desk-Based Users. Sps Has Also Considered The Use Of Windows Hello; However, A Significant Proportion Of Desktop Devices Within The Prison Estate Are Not Equipped With Webcams, Limiting The Viability Of Biometric Authentication, While The Use Of Pin-Based Authentication Does Not Align With Spss Preferred Approach For Strengthening Authentication Controls. As A Result, Sps Is Seeking Market Feedback On Rfid-Based Authentication Solutions, Including The Provision Of Usb Rfid Readers And A Centrally Managed Solution For The Administration Of Authentication Tokens And User Access.
