Title

The Tanium application must accept Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials from other federal agencies. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Access may be denied to authorized users if federal agency PIV credentials are not accepted. PIV credentials are issued by federal agencies and conform to FIPS Publication 201 and supporting guidance documents. OMB Memorandum 11-11 requires federal agencies to continue implementing the requirements specified in HSPD-12 to enable agencywide use of PIV credentials.
