Responsible biometric entry

Facial recognition for the right doors, with the right controls.

Kryos helps evaluate where touchless biometric access makes sense — and where cards, mobile credentials, PINs, or multi-factor workflows are the better answer.

Important

Biometrics are not for every environment.

Facial recognition should be deployed only after reviewing consent, signage, fallback access, retention settings, administrator access, vendor capabilities, and applicable legal or customer policy requirements.

Kryos provides security workflow guidance; customers should review biometric, employment, tenant, privacy, and industry obligations with qualified counsel.

Best-fit use cases

Use biometrics where stronger identity assurance justifies the operational and privacy requirements.

01

Restricted rooms

Labs, data rooms, executive suites, medication/storage areas, or controlled operational spaces.

02

High-throughput entries

Entrances where approved users need fast, touchless movement without lowering accountability.

03

Layered security

Use biometric readers with policy controls, fallback credentials, audit logs, and admin oversight.

Responsible controls

Privacy and usability must be designed into the workflow.

  • Consent-based enrollment where required
  • Visible signage and clear user communication
  • Fallback access methods for users who cannot or do not use biometrics
  • Role-based administration and audit review
  • Retention and deletion settings aligned with operational need
