Honeywell's Vindicator Technologies Gets DIACAP Certification

Honeywell announced that a core group of its Vindicator security solutions has successfully been tested for compliance with security requirements by the Department of Defense Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process (DIACAP). The testing recognizes the Vindicator Command a Control (VCC) platform, V5 Intrusion Detection System (IDS), V5 Access Control System (ACS), Security Archive Workstation (SAW) and the UHS-1500 as compliant command, control and display solutions for intrusion-detection and entry-control systems.

The DIACAP process required Vindicator to undergo rigorous testing for its VCC, V5 IDS, V5 ACS, SAW and UHS-1500 products. The information assurance testing certifies that the products can be safely installed on any network to protect mission-critical resources without exposing the organization to security risks.

“National security has always been critical, but after 9/11, it has become an even higher priority,” said Franco van Heijningen, general manager for Honeywell Vindicator Technologies. “Facilities critical to the nation’s security must take every safeguard possible to ensure that their people and assets are protected. A fully integrated system like Vindicator gives security personnel a complete picture of site operations from single or multiple locations any time, and we’re pleased that these products have now been recognized with the DIACAP certification,” he said.

Honeywell Vindicator Technologies, part of Honeywell Security Group, offers electronic security systems that protect critical assets and personnel within the government, military, commercial and industrial markets at more than 1,500 highly sensitive sites across the globe.
