One Card - One Identity

One Card - One Identity
Are you a DoD employee or military service member exasperated with carrying and
keeping track of multiple identification cards in addition to your DoD CAC?
Cogent, Inc. possesses the vision combined with the development
and integration expertise to support the DoD in achieving its objective
of establishing the Common Access Card (CAC) as the single “One
Card” identification card to provide controlled access to all physical,
logical, entitlement, and related systems and programs. Through
15 years of smart card application development and systems
integration, we possess extensive knowledge and a progressive
track record in planning, developing, assessing, and implementing
CAC-centric solutions.
We are technically proficient in the myriad of technologies incorporated within the CAC,
including biometrics, contact and contactless smart cards, public key infrastructure (PKI),
secure card manufacture, and legacy barcodes. We are capable of demonstrating proven
past performance in successfully integrating the CAC and its technologies into web-based
and web-enabled applications, mobile devices, and other hardware devices.
Cogent Security Solutions applies implementation strategies and methodologies that remove
redundant identity proofing processes and ID tokens. The streamlined effect on operations
that results facilitates substantial long-term cost savings and efficiencies for DoD agencies.
We are adept at integrating solutions that utilize the CAC as the single “One Card” identification
for all types of access control applications.
Maximizing CAC Convenience

Maximizing CAC Convenience
In addition to eliminating functionally duplicative legacy systems and enhancing existing systems, our creation of
a unified identity assurance process for enterprise-wide use will significantly and reliably:
●● Promote cost savings by streamlining paper-based processes, thus reducing wait times, lost
documentation, and various other costly errors;
●● Provide a more secure authentication system to protect facilities and systems through the use of CAC
security technologies, such as PKI, digital fingerprints, digital photo, PIN, and data elements;
●● Address system-to-system bridging requirements to enable efficient workflow and data sharing, while
closing gaps created by disparate systems; and
●● Promote improvements in quality of life by eliminating the need for issuing multiple ID cards for different
purposes, and decreasing processing time that ensues from errors (e.g. data entry mistakes, lost
paperwork, etc.)
Cogent Security Solutions works to reduce overhead and administrative support structures, while simultaneously
improving the efficiency and effectiveness of support for our DoD clients. In order to free up resources to focus
on mission-critical activities, we follow four guiding principles:
●● Re-engineer: Enhance modern business practices to achieve world-class standards of performance
●● Consolidate: Streamline organizational practices to remove redundancy and maximize synergy
●● Analyze: Apply current, readily available technologies to improve quality, reduce costs, and respond to
customer needs
●● Eliminate: Reduce excess support structures to increase effectiveness and focus on core competencies.

identification, access, and eligibility, please contact:
