To reflect its expanded biometric application services, the National Biometric Security Project (NBSP) recently re-established its Test, Research and Data Center under the new name Biometric Services International, LLC (BSI).  Located in Morgantown, West Virginia, BSI is a wholly owned, non-profit subsidiary of NBSP and is the only laboratory, exclusively focused on biometrics, to achieve the coveted ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation for testing. 

As pre-deployment planning  becomes evermore critical to a successful biometric project.  BSI’s application and acquisition services have been expanded to address biometric deployment considerations such as requirements definition; articulation of program goals and objectives, vulnerability assessments, application impact studies, life-cycle cost analyses and privacy impact assessments just to name a few.  BSI can also provide regularly scheduled operational audits in the post-deployment phase to help ensure that a system is operating at peak performance.
