BIO-key International, Inc. announced that Quirk Auto Group, with 19 locations in Maine, selected BIO-key's PortalGuard(R)IDaaS platform to address updated requirements dictated by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) Safeguards Rule, designed to protect the personal data of consumers. The Federal Trade Commission recently made important changes to the Safeguards Rule, bringing the GLBA in line with much more stringent security frameworks. BIO- key's PortalGuard platform supports these updated rules with a modern approach for securing access to systems and data through its IBB, multi-factor authentication (MFA), and industry- standard SAML Identity Provider (IdP) capabilities.

One of the key project outcomes was identity and access management security and integration with the enterprise application Reynolds and Reynolds for enhanced corporate and consumer data protection. The PortalGuard platform provided an additional benefit for Quirk Auto Group by enabling it to consolidate IAM technologies and vendors, improving the user login experience while simultaneously increasing its overall cybersecurity capabilities.
