HID Signo 40K PIV — Standard Wall FIPS 201 Reader with Keypad for Federal 2-Factor Sensitive Doors

IP55-rated for indoor and protected outdoor positions.

The Signo 40K PIV is the most-installed federal 2-factor reader for Chicago federal facility sensitive-area doors, DOD secure-area entries, federal vault rooms, SCIFs, critical-infrastructure secure positions, defense contractor secure rooms, federal-grant healthcare restricted areas, and federal-research lab doors — anywhere PIV + 2-factor PIN is mandated.

When PIV + 2-Factor + Standard Wall Are All Required

The most common federal sensitive-area doors share three traits:

1. PIV / CAC / TWIC / FRAC mandate (FIPS 201)
2. 2-factor PIN required for sensitive areas (vaults, SCIFs, classified, BSL labs)
3. Standard wall installation (most door positions are standard wall, not mullion)

The Signo 40K PIV is the right answer for all three — the most-installed federal 2-factor reader form factor.

Sensitive Area Examples — Where PIV + 2-Factor Matter

• Federal vault rooms + currency / records storage
• SCIFs (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities) requiring strict access controls
• Classified-area doors at DOD facilities, defense contractors, federal courts
• Critical infrastructure secure rooms (utility control rooms, transit operations centers)
• Healthcare BSL (BioSafety Level) labs with federal grants
• University federal-research labs (animal care, biosafety, classified research)
• Banking federal-regulated vault + safe-deposit areas
• Aerospace / defense secure manufacturing + IP / blueprint areas
