"By unveiling the world’s first FAaaS offering, we are empowering security teams with cutting-edge features to effectively protect their buildings,” said Tina D'Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz AI. “Our new pricing structure ensures that businesses can access this advanced technology at a price that fits within their budget and allows corporations to address the increasing need to supply touchless, non-invasive access control for all users, rather than just high-security areas. This allows us to make biometric access control a reality for everyone."

Alcatraz AI offers a complete package starting at a competitive all-in-one monthly price that includes hardware, software, updates, and warranty. Billed annually, this pricing ensures that businesses have access to the latest version of Alcatraz AI’s technology to future proof their security posture, including a technology refresh after five years with a subscription renewal.

Premium features

By adopting Alcatraz AI's cloud-based access control solution, enterprises gain access to premium features that enhance security and convenience, such as web-based Mobile Enrollment, which allows users to be invited via email to enroll in the Alcatraz AI solution using most technology devices with a front-facing camera. This empowers users to enroll on their own device at a time convenient for them, while enabling thousands of employees to be enrolled in minutes. Additionally, the solution features tailgating detection and alerts, providing an additional layer of security against unauthorised access attempts, which are the leading cause of physical breaches and some of the most difficult to detect. Integration with the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) video standards further allows for more detailed forensics at the time of incident.

Privacy compliance

Alcatraz AI’s facial authentication solution offers Privacy Consent Management with Docusign electronic signature capabilities as an optional add-on service, which is designed to facilitate end-user transparency and compliance with biometric privacy regulations by disclosing how biometric data will be used and allowing employees the choice to opt-in prior to any collection or use of their biometric data. In addition, this commitment to privacy and data security also aids businesses in providing their employees with the confidence to embrace advanced access control technology powered by Alcatraz AI.

Alcatraz AI believes the updated pricing structure allows organisations of all sizes to upgrade their existing access control systems and unlock the benefits of advanced facial authentication technology.The company also offers an on-premise option.
