It provides secure and efficient access to buildings in a more frictionless manner whilst providing a vendor agnostic technical standard for the UK Government.\nGovPass is the HMG encryption standard, supported by a cloud infrastructure and pass production facility that is applied to an existing Access Control System, it has now reached the critical mass where the programme needs to transition to the operation of a Business as Usual (BaU) service, scale the deployment wider across the HMG estate and develop the next iteration of the technology to ensure it can meet the challenges presented by Quantum computing.\nThe strategic aspirations of GovPass is to scale across HMG sites, including Hubs and Campuses.
