Access control for the highest level of security
When storing sensitive data and increasing business mobility, it is important to implement advanced security solutions for identification and data protection.
When choosing a card/reader solution, it is important that simple basic requirements are defined:
-
prevent a third party from copying your access cards;
-
not depend on a third party to create access cards;
-
help prevent credentials from being replaced or imitated.

STid Mobile ID: a mobile and instinctive access control solution
The STid Mobile ID app replaces your access cards on Android and iOS smartphones, allowing you to add or replace traditional cards by digitising all access cards into a unique mobile app.
The system manages physical access for employees, visitor reception, parking access. The smartphone, simply by switching on and even during phone calls, becomes a means of identification, offering 6 instinctive identification modes (placing your hand or smartphone in front of the reader, touching the smartphone, using Apple Watch). Access to buildings is controlled according to the user's profile, with the possibility to grant, update or revoke thousands of accesses with a single click.
