Why Europe is increasingly moving toward full ownership and control of data.
Europe is moving toward full data ownership. This may involve data storage within Europe or within an organization’s own infrastructure. Why? Because data stored elsewhere may fall under foreign jurisdictions—outside Europe—on servers that are not owned, managed, or fully controlled by the organization itself. Not everything needs to move back on-premise, but sensitive data, identity systems, and critical processes certainly do.
This provides organizations with:
- Full control over data and systems
- A higher level of security, defined entirely by the organization
- Compliance with regulations such as GDPR and NIS2
- No dependency on the internet or external cloud providers
However, once data is stored locally again, the risk profile changes. Cyber threats remain, but physical access once again becomes a critical vulnerability. Yet, many organizations still rely on:
- Badges
- Keys
- PIN codes
Recogtech’s solutions do not rely on badges, PIN codes, or access cards. The focus is on verifying who you are. Our solutions are built on one core principle: only live biometrics count.
Palm-ID Pro – Access Control Aligned with Your Data Security
- The scanner reads oxygen-rich blood flow patterns in the palm of the hand (5 million data points)
- Biometric templates are encrypted (AES) and transferred via USB to the controller
- Re-encryption and hashing
- Storage in an encrypted database
- Matching is performed locally
- Physical separation between the scanner (attack side) and the controller (safe side)
- Biometric user management without passwords
- Root access remains with the customer; TPM optional
- Controllers communicate via a dedicated VLAN
