Data Centers

Data center operators contend with shared credentials and tailgating, insider threats, and compliance gaps that badges and PINs cannot close. Gloves and PPE interfere with fingerprint readers, and a borrowed badge tells you nothing about who actually walked through the door.

The stakes keep rising: the average cost of a data breach reached $4.88 million in 2024, 68% of breaches involve human error, physical security incidents increased 34.5%, and roughly 80% of breaches involve stolen credentials.

Iris ID technology has protected some of the world's most demanding data center environments for two decades. Google has deployed Iris ID solutions since 2005, securing facilities in Mountain View, Dallas, Iowa, and New York. Multimodal iris and face recognition confirms the individual at every controlled entry — no badge required, no badge to steal.

Iris recognition offers a near-zero false accept rate, making it effectively impossible to impersonate an authorized user. Every access event is tied to a verified individual, eliminating the ambiguity of shared or stolen credentials that drives the majority of breaches.

Authentication happens at a distance with no physical contact. Technicians in gloves and other PPE are identified without removing equipment or touching a shared sensor — maintaining both throughput and hygiene in controlled environments.

Every entry generates an identity-verified audit record, supporting compliance with GDPR, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and customer security requirements. When auditors ask who entered a data hall and when, the answer is definitive.
