US State & Local Government

MyID® credential management enables US state and local government agencies to issue and manage secure digital identities, protecting user access to software, data, systems and buildings for cyber secure operations.

The Threat

The growing cyber threat to state and local government

State and local government agencies hold vast amounts of citizen and operational data, making them a persistent target for ransomware, state-sponsored and organised crime hacking. Agencies that access criminal justice information must also meet the FBI's CJIS Security Policy, which mandates strong, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication. MyID® hands agencies the control they need over the digital identities they issue to employees to safeguard data, systems, networks and buildings from unauthorised access.

How MyID Helps

MyID credential management for state and local government

MyID® software enables state and local agencies to issue and manage cryptographically protected digital identities across their workforce using public key infrastructure (PKI) and FIDO2 for the most secure method of multi-factor authentication. Removing weak and stolen passwords, MyID helps agencies meet CJIS Security Policy requirements for advanced (phishing-resistant) authentication and gives operators a single, auditable platform to issue, replace and revoke credentials on smart cards, USB security keys, mobile devices and virtual smart cards.

Benefits

Maximum data breach protection

Remove passwords - the primary cause of data breach - and build user access around cryptographically protected multi-factor authentication.

Simple integration

Simplify the integration of existing IT with PKI infrastructure for minimal disruption.

Easy management

Benefit from one software solution for operators to issue and manage thousands of workforce digital identities.

Proven

MyID is a CMS platform that has been in operation for many of the world's most security-conscious enterprises for more than 25 years.

Futureproof

As cybercrime, hacking, phishing and malware attacks become more advanced, futureproof processes against the growing threat with a robust digital identity system. MyID integration also means your CMS adapts as the devices and technologies your employees use change.

Cost saving

From the simplicity and ease of integration across existing infrastructure and devices, to the reduction in IT resource involvement thanks to enabling employees to self-serve, MyID CMS adds value to any state or local government's cyber security capabilities.

Common questions

Need something specific? Contact our team →

Yes. MyID MFA and PSM are deployed across US state and local government environments. On-premise deployment keeps all authentication data and breach checking inside the agency boundary. The offline breach database (11B+ credentials) runs without any external connectivity. Our team can support CJIS audit processes.

Yes. MyID CMS issues and manages PIV-I credentials that federate with federal partners. Useful when state law enforcement or emergency response teams need to interoperate with federal agencies on shared incidents.

Smaller scale, simpler procurement, same standards. State and local deployments rarely need to issue PIV at the federal scale, so most start with MFA and PSM and add CMS where smart card credentials are needed for federation. Deployment timelines are weeks, not quarters.

Yes. Cyber insurance providers typically require phishing-resistant MFA for privileged and administrative access. MyID MFA supports FIDO2 passkeys and smart card authentication, both of which satisfy the more recent insurer requirements that go beyond OTP and SMS.
