CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE IDENTIFICATION SOLUTIONS
Secure Identification for High-Security Environments
Identification, access credentials and visitor management solutions for organisations where security, reliability and control are essential.
From airports and transport networks to data centres, utilities, government environments and other critical sites, Fairfield helps organisations simplify identification without compromising security.
Identification Built Around Security and Control
Critical infrastructure environments require more than a basic photo ID card.
Organisations need reliable staff identification, controlled access credentials, secure visitor and contractor processes, durable card issuance and systems that can work consistently across departments and locations.
Fairfield ID Solutions provides independent advice, hardware, credentials and supporting identification solutions designed around the organisation’s existing systems, security requirements and day-to-day operations.

Different environments have different operational and security requirements. Fairfield provides independent advice and helps organisations choose identification technologies that fit their existing infrastructure and processes.
ONE CARD. LESS COMPLEXITY.
Reduce Credential Sprawl with One Card
Employees working in secure environments can often accumulate multiple cards and fobs for identification, door access, authentication, parking, payments and other workplace systems.
Where technologies are compatible, Fairfield’s One Card Solution can help consolidate multiple credentials into a single smart card.
ONE PERSON. ONE CREDENTIAL.
- Fewer cards and fobs to issue
- Reduced plastic use
- Lower credential purchasing and replacement costs
- Less administration
- Simpler credential management
- More convenient for staff
- Greater consistency across departments or sites

ADDITIONAL CARD SECURITY
For organisations with higher security requirements, selected professional ID card printers and credential solutions can support additional visual security features such as 600 dpi high-resolution printing, UV printing, holographic overlays or laminates, secure laminate designs, microtext, fine-line graphics and custom watermarking — depending on the printer, card technology and application.
- 600 DPI HIGH-RESOLUTION PRINTING
- MICROTEXT & FINE-LINE DETAIL
- UV PRINTING
- HOLOGRAPHIC OVERLAYS & LAMINATES
- SECURE LAMINATE DESIGNS
- CUSTOM WATERMARKS
- OTHER PRINTER-SPECIFIC SECURITY FEATURES
Selected 600 dpi printers can reproduce much finer detail than standard-resolution printers, supporting microtext, small text and fine-line security graphics that can make credentials more difficult to accurately reproduce visually.
High-resolution printing is one layer of credential security. Overall security also depends on the card technology, encoding, access-control system and other physical security features. Available features vary by printer model and credential type.
CREDENTIAL SECURITY TESTING
Understand How Secure Your Access Credentials Really Are
Fairfield can provide specialist testing of contactless cards, smart credentials and compatible access technologies to help organisations understand how secure their existing credentials are.
Our testing can help identify potential weaknesses, cloning risks and outdated credential technologies, giving organisations clearer information about where security improvements may be required.
Where vulnerabilities are identified, we can advise on more secure credential technologies and migration options based on the organisation’s existing access-control environment.

NPSA-TESTED VISITOR MANAGEMENT
Know Who Is On Site

Fairfield’s visitor and contractor management solutions can support structured registration, badge issuance, check-in, sign-out and clearer visibility of who is authorised to be on site.
For higher-security environments, Fairfield can provide an NPSA-tested self-service visitor management kiosk solution designed for controlled visitor and contractor check-in.
