Alcatraz has successfully completed its SOC 2 examination, solidifying its position in the biometric security sector.

The examination, finished on November 7, 2025, was conducted by A-LIGN, a noted provider of cybersecurity compliance services to over 4,000 global entities.

Trust in biometric technology

"Trust in biometric systems depends on strong data stewardship," said Tina D’Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz. "At Alcatraz, we work with some of the world’s most sensitive data and environments, and it’s a responsibility that we take seriously."

She adds, "Our platform is purpose-built with privacy at its core so customers can deploy biometric access with confidence across their most critical environments. Privacy guides how every identity experience is designed, operated and secured."

About SOC 2 examination

Assessment across various components, including infrastructure, software, data, and operations

The SOC 2 examination, established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), evaluates an organisation’s capacity to secure customer’s personal assets.

It provides an assessment across various components, including infrastructure, software, data, and operations. Globally acknowledged, the SOC 2 report confirms that a company has undergone a thorough evaluation regarding these aspects.

AI-powered security solutions

Alcatraz utilises AI-driven facial authentication technology for secure and efficient access in sensitive environments. The company's Rock X solution is implemented across a range of sites, including Fortune 100 campuses, AI data centres, financial institutions, stadiums, and government facilities, where precision and compliance are crucial.

This technology ensures privacy with opt-in enrollment, encrypted biometrics, and comprehensive audit reports supporting compliance with GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and BIPA data protection frameworks.

Commitment to compliance

"Congratulations to Alcatraz for completing their SOC 2 audit, a widely recognised signal of trust and security," remarked Steve Simmons, COO of A-LIGN, adding "It's great to work with organisations like Alcatraz, who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of a high-quality final report."

This achievement confirms Alcatraz's ongoing dedication to compliance, providing customers assurance that robust measures are in place to safeguard their data.

Alcatraz, the pioneer in facial biometric authentication for physical access, now announced the successful completion of its SOC 2 examination as of November 7, 2025.

The independent audit was conducted by A-LIGN, the pioneering provider in cybersecurity compliance trusted by more than 4,000 global organisations.

Biometric access with confidence

“Trust in biometric systems depends on strong data stewardship,” said Tina D’Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz. “At Alcatraz, we work with some of the world’s most sensitive data and environments, and it’s a responsibility that we take seriously."

"Our platform is purpose-built with privacy at its core so customers can deploy biometric access with confidence across their most critical environments. Privacy guides how every identity experience is designed, operated and secured.”

SOC 2 examination

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organisations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected.

SOC 2 reports are recognised globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed. 

AI-powered facial authentication technology

Alcatraz leverages AI-powered facial authentication technology to enable private, secure and seamless entry across highly sensitive environments. Its solution, the Rock X, is deployed across Fortune 100 campuses, AI data centres, financial institutions, stadiums and government facilities, where precision, compliance and trust matter most.

The technology is designed with privacy at its core, incorporating opt-in enrollment, encrypted biometric templates and detailed audit reports to support compliance with major data protection frameworks, including the GDPR, CCPA, CPRA and BIPA. 

Alcatraz’s continued commitment

“Congratulations to Alcatraz for completing their SOC 2 audit, a widely recognised signal of trust and security," said Steve Simmons, COO of A-LIGN. "It's great to work with organisations like Alcatraz, who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of a high-quality final report."

This attestation reinforces Alcatraz’s continued commitment to compliance and ensures customers with the confidence that required safeguards are in place to protect their data.
