Unsecured credentials can lead to unauthorised physical access to sensitive areas in your organisation and result e.g. in data breaches and financial losses as well as reputational damage.
Secure Credential Consultancy
Is your organisation looking for sophisticated credentials, authenticating people approved for physical access?
Would you like to have key sovereignty, providing control of all encryption keys and significantly reducing your workload for a secure credential management?
From secure credential consultancy to design and deployment, we offer you a proven process based on long-term industry experience.
Common challenges
Identity theft can involve fraudulent activities that can affect both your organisation and your employees themselves (unauthorised reading/emulation or cloning of credentials, etc.).
Cyber and phishing attacks resulting from compromised credentials can lead to operational disruptions including downtimes.
It is difficult to track actions within different physical access control systems, resulting in a lack of accountability.
Unsecured credentials lead to regulatory non-compliance, e.g. with GDPR and corporate policies, but also with official regulations such as e.g. NIS2.
With our long-term experience creating highly secure credential solutions for governments, defence, and enterprise organisations, we are your reliable partner to design your physical credentials.
