The Challenge

Two Identity

Challenges

Modern organizations face identity challenges in two distinct areas: Organizations end up managing identity in silos – physical and digital security rarely connect, creating gaps in both.

Physical Access

Credential sprawl, manual processes, and inconsistent policies create security gaps, increase risk, and complicate audits and compliance across sites.

Cybersecurity

Password-based attacks, phishing threats, weak remote authentication, and credential theft increase risk and intensify compliance pressure.

Outcomes You Can Expect

Stronger Identity Assurance

Verify identity at the door and at the desktop with secure credentials and trusted authentication.

Protection Against Identity Attacks

Eliminate password vulnerabilities with phishing-resistant authentication.

Streamlined Credential Management

Simplify badge issuance, mobile credentials, and smart card management across sites.

Physical Credentials for Building Access

See how unified security transforms operations with comprehensive solutions tailored to your needs.

Credential Types and Formats

Credential Types and Formats

Proximity cards and badges: Standard RFID/contactless credentials for door readers

Smart cards: High-assurance credentials with encrypted chip technology

Mobile credentials: Smartphone-based access for frictionless entry

Mobile credentials: Smartphone-based access for frictionless entry

Visitor badges: Temporary credentials with time-based access

Multi-technology cards: Support for multiple credential standards on one card

Unified Identity Across Physical and Digital Security

Identity becomes more powerful when physical and cybersecurity systems work together.

Use smart cards for both doors and computers

Issue mobile credentials that work for building access and secure login

Correlate access with network activity for insider threat detection

Maintain consistent audit trails across both domains

Choosing the Right Identity Approach

Not all identity solutions deliver the same assurance. The difference lies in how credentials are secured and how authentication is verified.

Approach

Best For

Key Advantage

Limitation

Basic badges + passwords

Small sites, low compliance requirements, limited security needs

Lower initial cost, familiar processes

Weak assurance, password vulnerabilities, manual management, limited audit capability

Secure credentials + phishing-resistant authentication

Multi-site operations, regulated industries, high-security environments, remote workforces

Stronger identity assurance, phishing-resistant security, integrated physical and logical access, audit-ready compliance

Requires credential investment and process alignment

Hirsch delivers trusted authentication at the door and at the desktop.
