As global events and venues increasingly prioritize safety, security, and seamless operations, Accredit Solutions has unveiled Accredit OS, a new identity operating system designed to enhance control, visibility, and compliance in multifaceted settings.
This system aims to address the demands of large-scale international tournaments, year-round multi-use venues, and high-profile sporting events by streamlining the management of workforce, media, contractors, and visitors, which are often handled through fragmented systems and manual processes.
Addressing Critical Security Questions
Security and operations leaders face pressing questions: who is on-site at any moment, what areas they can access, and whether this access can be promptly verified and retrospectively audited. Many organizations rely on disparate systems, spreadsheets, and manual workflows, leading to operational inefficiencies, increased risk, and limited transparency.
Introducing a Unified Identity Layer
This approach creates a consistent and trusted identity record across all interactions
Accredit OS aims to revolutionize identity, access, and workforce management by integrating accreditation, access control, onboarding, and visitor management into one unified identity layer. This approach creates a consistent and trusted identity record across all interactions, roles, and environments.
"The way venues and events manage people, access, and operations has evolved incrementally over time - but the scale, complexity, and scrutiny have changed dramatically," stated Peder Berg, CEO of Accredit Solutions. "Accredit OS brings those moving parts together into one identity layer, enabling organizations to operate with clarity, confidence, and control."
Enhanced Access and Workforce Operations
The core principle of Accredit OS is maintaining one identity per individual, managed throughout every venue or event interaction. Whether for stewards, broadcasters, contractors, or VIPs, their identity is controlled through a single system, enhancing accreditation, compliance, visitor management, and workforce operations. This approach ensures validated trust, reduces redundancy, and eliminates inconsistencies, allowing organizations to:
- Maintain real-time visibility of site presence
- Implement role-based access across zones
- Create comprehensive audit trails for compliance
- Reduce manual processes and overhead
- Scale operations across multiple settings
The outcome is a more managed, efficient, and resilient operating environment during major events and day-to-day functions.
Securing Identity in Evolving Environments
The introduction of Accredit OS aligns with the challenges of increased security threats
The introduction of Accredit OS aligns with the challenges of increased security threats, complex compliance mandates, larger workforces, and the need for continuous venue operation. It provides a secure identity foundation applicable to both temporary and permanent settings, integrating with existing systems for a modern approach to identity and access control.
By transcending traditional "event tech," Accredit Solutions positions Accredit OS as a workforce identity infrastructure for events and venues. The system's identity-centric approach supports security, compliance, workforce management, and operational efficiency, utilizing features such as event accreditation, visitor access, compliance, and workforce readiness through the Accredit platform. According to Berg, “This isn’t just about improving accreditation. It's about giving organizations complete control over who people are, what they’re authorized to do, and where they can operate across events, venues, and everyday operations.”
Accredit OS, available worldwide, already supports prominent venues, sports organizations, and major events, marking the launch of Accredit Solutions' new brand and website, emphasizing their commitment to redefining identity and access management.
As global events and venues face increasing pressure to deliver safe, secure and seamless operations, Accredit Solutions announces the launch of Accredit OS – a category-defining identity operating system designed to bring control, visibility and compliance to complex environments.
From major international tournaments and high-profile sporting events to multi-use venues operating year-round, organizations are managing growing volumes of workforce, media, contractors and visitors often across fragmented systems and manual processes. At the same time, expectations around security, compliance and governance have never been higher.
Increasingly critical questions
Operations and security leaders are being asked increasingly critical questions:
- Who is on site at any given time?
- What access do they have – and why?
- Can this be verified instantly and audited retrospectively?
For many organizations, the reality is still a patchwork of disconnected systems, spreadsheets and manual workflows – creating operational inefficiencies, increased risk exposure and limited visibility.
Unified identity layer
Accredit OS represents a fundamental shift in how identity, access and workforce operations are managed. Rather than treating accreditation, access control, workforce onboarding and visitor management as separate processes, Accredit OS connects them through a single, unified identity layer - creating one trusted source of truth across the entire operation.
At its core is a validated golden record of identity – a single identity that persists across every interaction, role and environment. “The way venues and events manage people, access and operations has evolved incrementally over time - but the scale, complexity and scrutiny have changed dramatically,” said Peder Berg, CEO of Accredit Solutions. “Accredit OS brings those moving parts together into one identity layer – enabling organizations to operate with clarity, confidence and control.”
Access and workforce operations
At the core of Accredit OS is a simple but powerful concept: one identity per individual, maintained across every interaction with a venue or event.
Whether a person is a steward, broadcaster, contractor or VIP, their identity, credentials, permissions and activity are managed through a single system – flowing seamlessly across accreditation, compliance, visitor management and workforce operations. This golden record ensures identity is validated once and trusted everywhere – removing duplication, reducing risk and eliminating inconsistency.
This enables organizations to:
- Maintain real-time visibility of who is on site and where
- Enforce role-based access control across zones and locations
- Create complete audit trails for compliance and governance
- Reduce manual processes and operational overhead
- Scale operations across multiple venues and events
The result is a more controlled, efficient and resilient operating environment – both on major event days and across everyday venue operations.
Secure identity foundation
The launch of Accredit OS comes at a time when venues and event organisers are navigating:
- Increasing security threats and heightened duty-of-care expectations
- More complex regulatory and compliance requirements
- Larger, more dynamic and distributed workforces
- The need to operate venues 365 days a year – not just on event days
Accredit OS has been designed to meet these challenges by providing a secure identity foundation that works across temporary and permanent environments, integrates with existing systems and gives organizations a more modern approach to identity and access control.
Beyond event technology
With Accredit OS, Accredit Solutions is moving beyond traditional “event tech” to establish a new category: workforce identity infrastructure for events and venues. By placing identity at the centre of operations, Accredit OS provides the foundation for security, compliance, workforce management and operational efficiency.
Accredit OS connects core capabilities including event accreditation, visitor access, compliance and workforce readiness – delivered through the Accredit platform, Accredit Media, Accredit Visit and Accredit Induct – all operating on a shared identity layer. “This isn’t just about improving accreditation,” added Berg. “It’s about giving organizations complete control over who people are, what they’re authorized to do, and where they can operate – across events, venues and everyday operations.”
Accredit OS is available globally and is already supporting leading venues, sports organizations and major events worldwide. The launch coincides with the unveiling of Accredit Solutions’ new brand and website, reflecting the company’s evolution and its focus on redefining how identity and access are managed across venues and events.
