Markets : Identity Cards
ID Data Cards is a supplier of smart cards to the UK Government. The company is UK owned and has a highly secure manufacturing plant in Petersfield, Hampshire, at which it produces Visa and MasterCard bank cards as well as PIN mailers. Due to the high levels of security demanded, all staff are police checked on an annual basis, the premises are very secure with internal CCTV monitoring, and there are systems in place to ensure that the location of all employees can be tracked on a room to room basis.
ID Data can therefore receive data for the production of identity cards in a highly secure environment and has the physical, logical and human security in place to manufacture the National ID card. Further, no data needs to leave the country (an issue specifically raised by the Home Office) and there are no data communications links to public networks or to other offices outside the UK.
ID Data is therefore perfectly positioned to make a significant contribution to National Identity Card programmes. To find out more ID Data's capabilities in this field, click here.
