IDEMIA announces that its entity dedicated to biometric terminals is joining the Smart Physical Access Control (SPAC) organization. IDEMIA now intends to actively participate in the actions of the consortium by providing its expertise in the field of biometrics, access control and security.

SPAC’s role in digital security

SPAC is an organization that brings together European digital security players around an information, training and standardization mission. Thus the birth of the organization was motivated by a booming regulatory environment to fight against cyber threats and cyber attacks.

In accordance with the directives of the NIS (Network and Information Security), actions are undertaken such as the establishment of Operators of Vital Importance (OIV) asking Member States to define their Essential Service Organizations (OES), on authentication biometric for physical access control.

SPAC’s mission is to promote French and European know-how on end-to-end security of physical access control solutions, and to allow companies to be independent and autonomous in the management of their security with opened and sustainable solutions. SPAC also actively supports the SSCP (Smart Secure Communication Protocol) standard for more interoperable and autonomous security in Europe.

SPAC & IDEMIA

SPAC already brings together several French actors in access control such as the National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (ANSSI). IDEMIA, a major player in the access control ecosystem in France with its biometric terminals, further demonstrates its commitment to cybersecurity by joining the SPAC group.

IDEMIA, world leader in the field of biometrics, provides you with biometric readers such as MorphoWave, a contactless fingerprint reader “on the fly” by a simple gesture of the hand in the device, or VisionPass, a high-performance facial recognition device, or the Sigma range of fingerprint readers.
