Seattle, WA – March 25, 2025 – RightCrowd, the global leader in physical identity and access management (PIAM), has partnered with Alcatraz, a trailblazer in AI-driven facial authentication, to deliver a seamless and secure identity management solution. The integration of RightCrowd SmartAccess with Alcatraz’s systems automates identity verification and access control, improving security while reducing administrative overhead. Together, RightCrowd and Alcatraz are redefining the future of access control and workplace security.
RightCrowd SmartAccess connects to organizations’ authoritative identity sources, ensuring that identity data remains current and compliant across physical access systems. Alcatraz’s Rock X biometric reader replaces or augments traditional credentials to provide secure, frictionless, and enterprise-grade facial authentication for access control. Rock X seeks to deter tailgating, ensure compliance, and integrate in hours. With this partnership, RightCrowd helps Alcatraz streamline user enrollment, mitigating manual processes for security teams and ensuring real-time updates when access rights change, or an employee leaves the organization.
“By integrating our identity management capabilities with Alcatraz’s advanced facial authentication, we are providing a frictionless and compliant access solution,” said Darren Bain, VP of Strategic Initiatives at RightCrowd. “This partnership streamlines security operations while enhancing the user experience.”
“Our collaboration with RightCrowd brings automation and intelligence to physical access control,” said Greg Sarrail, SVP of Sales at Alcatraz. “With real-time identity updates and biometric authentication, our technology allows organizations to confidently secure their facilities without adding complexity to their workflows. Together, we’re excited to usher in a new era of access control that prioritizes streamlined operations for security teams and frictionless, privacy-forward experiences for users.”
This partnership empowers organizations to enforce stringent access policies without disrupting operations, ensuring only authorized personnel gain entry to secured areas, while maintaining compliance with security and regulatory mandates.
