NATIONAL BIOMETRIC SECURITY PROJECT

The National Biometric Security Project (NBSP) Enterprise is an independent, nonprofit organization created to increase national security and personal identity protection by enhancing identity assurance through biometrics. To reflect its expanded biometric application services, the NBSP Enterprise 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. BSI’s application and acquisition services have been expanded to address biometric deployment considerations. These include requirements definition; articulation of program goals and objectives, vulnerability assessments, application impact studies, life-cycle cost analyses, orientation, technical and certification training, and privacy impact assessments just to name a few.
