Multi-Tenant Campus

Control changed

Before · SP 800-116

The multi-tenant campus environment is similar to the single-tenant campus except that individual tenants will have their own security policies and the enforcement may be different. A tenant may benefit from the authentication mechanism(s) implemented at the outer perimeter; however, agencies may implement their own PACS within their space. In this case, if an agency were to benefit from other agencies’ PACS, its PACS should have communication links with other PACS on the campus. Once again, each individual tenant within a campus should designate its own “Controlled, Limited, Exclusion” areas and identify appropriate PIV authentication mechanism(s) required for access to its space (see Figure 7-1). The tenants can then determine if they can simply use the campus PACS application, if they should add security by implementing an additional PIV authentication mechanism, or if they should implement a stand-alone PACS. Each individual tenant should ensure that appropriate PIV authentication mechanism(s) from Figure 7-1 are implemented for its designated areas.
