Persons wishing to access estates and industrial sites typically have to enroll with them to be identified. Copies of their ID and other personal information is then stored on site.
This information is often not stored in highly secure facilities, increasing the risk of it being distributed for various reasons, including spamming and even fraud and identity theft.
Identity management is the process of creating, storing, and managing identity information. This information can be stored on a central server accessible via the internet. By having high levels of security, this can then become the means for identification to multiple sites from a single source. This creates a secure 'front door' to sites like estates, industrial parks, factories and even educational facilities, clubs and sporting venues.
Simple and Effective. Identify once and access many.
The 4Access Cloud Identity facility is an Identity as a Service (IDaaS) solution that centrally federates proof of identity between 4Access and its partner sites.
It is set up on a single sign-on basis. You receive a link that enables you to take a photograph of your face, it is checked against the national register using facial recognition, and once matched, becomes your single source of identity. You no longer need to carry around your identity card or book, your face is your identity.
Workforce Identity Federation: There are benefits for the sites as well, which include reporting and monitoring. Reports can be drawn which detail actions taken on the platform (like sites accessed, sign-in time) to ensure compliance, assess security risks and provide time and attendance data. You are also able to gain insights into the security and usage patterns of your environment.
