TransUnion’s NIST-Compliant Identification Managed Services Among First to be Awarded GSA’s Approved Status Designation
September 18 2018 - 09:25AM
TransUnion (NYSE: TRU) today announced that following an extensive
evaluation by the General Services Administration (GSA), it has
been awarded a GSA login.gov bulk purchase agreement contract
vehicle. The contract will be extended to multiple federal
government agencies for TransUnion’s remote identification and
fraud prevention managed services and data analytics
solutions.
As cyber risks continually evolve and compromise the identifiers
and passwords of millions of Americans, TransUnion has made it a
priority to serve the government with an accurate and resilient
remote identity proofing solution that covers the U.S.
population.
Compliant with the standard NIST Digital Identity guidelines
(NIST SP800-63-3A), TransUnion’s IDVision managed service helps
prevent ID theft and fraud. Following the GSA evaluation,
TransUnion IDVision products are approved for the GSA contract.
“Federal identity verification is a core TransUnion capability
which is particularly important to government to reduce fraud and
to also offer positive, low friction experiences to constituents,”
said Jonathan McDonald, executive vice president of TransUnion’s
government information solutions business unit. “We are
particularly proud to enable these objectives with innovative
approaches that have been recognized by public sector as well as
within Javelin Strategy & Research’s coverage of Remote
Identity Proofing.”
TransUnion received one of the GSA’s first contract awards after
its IDVision managed services were evaluated for a combination of
capabilities and price. A combination of product and supporting
service attributes include real-time identity verification, device
evaluation, financial account confirmation, and Government ID
validation among others.
TransUnion’s Government Information Solutions division provides
fraud, benefit eligibility verification, continuous evaluation
services, identity authentication, data breach response,
investigation services, and other key solutions to federal, state
and local government agencies in the U.S. TransUnion’s solutions
help both private and public sector organizations manage risk and
reduce costs.
