Biometric Access Control Systems for Businesses
Secure, reliable, and keyless access for the modern workplace
Biometric access control uses unique physical characteristics such as facial recognition or fingerprints to identify and authenticate employees. Unlike cards, tags, or PIN codes, biometric credentials cannot be lost, stolen, or shared, making it one of the most secure and convenient methods of controlling access to your business premises.
At Idency, we provide biometric access control solutions for organisations of all sizes – from single-door entry to multi-site enterprise systems.
Why Choose Biometric Access Control?
- No Lost or Shared Credentials: Employees can’t misplace their fingerprint or face, and credentials can’t be shared with others.
- Enhanced Security: Prevents “buddy punching” and unauthorised access using borrowed cards or codes.
- Cost Effective: No ongoing expense of replacing cards, tags, or fobs.
- Convenient: Fast, simple, and hygienic access with a touch or contactless facial scan.
- Scalable: Manage access across one office or multiple sites with ease.

Biometric vs. RFID & PIN Systems
While cards, tags, and PIN codes are widely used, they present security and cost challenges:
- Cards & tags are easily lost, stolen, or damaged.
- Replacement costs quickly add up.
- PINs can be shared between employees or guessed.
Biometric systems solve these issues by ensuring only the authorised individual can gain entry. For example, the Uni-Ubi UFace 5 Pro (pictured).
GDPR-Compliant Biometric Technology
Security and compliance are at the heart of Idency’s solutions. Our biometric devices do not store full fingerprint or facial images. Instead, they convert unique characteristics into a non-reversible digital template (a random matrix of data). This means:
- Templates cannot be used by any other device.
- You cannot recreate a fingerprint or face from the data.
- The process is one-way and GDPR-compliant, protecting employee privacy.
Access Control Software & Management
Your reporting and management requirements determine which software package we recommend. Idency offers a range of platforms with flexible features, including:
- Grouping doors and access areas.
- Restricting access by time or user role.
- Logging entry and exit activity.
- Simple onboarding of new employees.
- Sharing biometric templates between multiple devices/sites.
Biometric Access Control for Every Business
Idency designs systems tailored to your environment, workforce, and security needs. We consider:
- Number of doors and entry points.
- Internal vs. external use (e.g. weatherproof devices for outdoor locations).
- Work environment – offices, factories, manufacturing, healthcare, construction, leisure, and more.
- Environmental conditions – dusty, dirty, wet, hot, or cold settings.
Whether you need to secure offices, warehouses, factories, or specialist environments, we’ll recommend a biometric access control solution that delivers the right balance of security, usability, and cost efficiency.
