IBG provides its government sector clients with proven experience in evaluating and deploying biometrics in complex, mission-critical environments. IBG's vendor-independence and hands-on biometric expertise has enabled government sector clients such as the FAA, the California DMV, and the National Institute of Justice to make informed decisions about biometric deployments and technologies.

Feasibility Assessment and Business Case Development for Large-Scale Projects 
Determining how to deploy biometrics in Public Sector applications requires a broad understanding of various biometric issues, from performance to standards to privacy. IBG helps Public Sector institutions evaluate biometric projects, with an emphasis on large-scale, citizen-oriented projects such as ID cards and access to government services.

IV&V: Independent Verification and Validation of Biometric Projects
International Biometric Group has developed proprietary IV&V methodologies for auditing all phases in the deployment of biometric solutions and their associated processes. With IBG's extensive real-world experience with biometric deployments and our absolute neutrality with regard to biometric technologies and vendors, IBG is uniquely qualified to provide independent and objective assessments of biometric projects and pilots.

Biometric Authentication for Employee or Citizen Applications
IBG works on behalf of its government sector clients to evaluate and deploy biometrics for a full range of employee and citizen-oriented applications. IBG's proven, vendor-independent expertise helps institutions navigate the hundreds of biometric vendors, and dozens of biometric hardware and software solutions, in today's marketplace. Working with IBG eliminates the risk of technology obsolescence due to over-reliance on a single vendor or technology, ensuring that institutions have the flexibility to move to new and better solutions as they emerge.

Privacy Impact Assessment
IBG has extensive experience in assessing Public Sector compliance with privacy principles, analyzing proposed and operational systems to determine whether biometrics and associated technologies pose a risk to personal or informational privacy.
