Designed with privacy at its core, the technology includes opt-in enrollment and encrypted biometric templates, along with comprehensive audit reports to adhere to major data protection regulations like GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, and BIPA.

Commitment to Compliance

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