Regulated industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, life sciences, and defense often rely on shared workstations and kiosk-based systems to maintain operational efficiency. However, these environments introduce significant challenges when trying to meet NIST SP 800-171 requirements for identification, authentication, audit, and accountability.

This white paper explores how organizations can preserve shared logon workflows while still enforcing individual user identity and auditability.

This white paper outlines:

• How to meet NIST 800-171 Identification and Authentication (IA) requirements in shared environments
• How to achieve Audit and Accountability (AU) without eliminating shared workstations
• How badge-based, biometric, and passwordless authentication restores user-level traceability
• How to secure legacy and kiosk-based systems without changing existing workflows
• A real-world example of badge tap authentication and detailed audit logging

It addresses the core challenge faced by regulated organizations: maintaining fast, uninterrupted access to systems while ensuring every action is attributable to a verified individual for compliance, audit readiness, and incident response.
