Origins and Evolution 

The journey of HID Global began with a singular aim: to redefine the way we think about security and identification. Over the years, HID Global has acquired and integrated several innovative companies, each bringing its unique strengths, to bolster its offerings.

Secure Issuance: HID Global is a trusted name when it comes to creating secure cards, from ID cards for students and employees to highly secure government identification credentials. 

Identity and Access Management: With the rise of digital transactions and the increasing need for secure cyber-physical systems, HID Global’s solutions in this category ensure that only authorised individuals get access, be it physical entry or digital. 

Embedded and Biometric Solutions: As the world moves towards integrating technology into every facet of life, HID Global’s embedded systems offer a seamless way to incorporate secure identity verification. Their biometric solutions, on the other hand, harness unique human attributes for identification, thereby elevating the security benchmark. 

Identity Applications: These solutions focus on the utilisation of identities, ensuring that they can be trusted and verified across a variety of platforms and applications, from mobile access to citizen identification. 

RFID and IoT: Recognising the future of interconnected devices and systems, HID Global has invested in creating secure, innovative solutions in the domain of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and the Internet of Things (IoT). These solutions have applications in asset tracking, waste management, and a plethora of other sectors.

Their ability to customise and tailor solutions means that regardless of the size or nature of the business, HID Global can offer a solution that fits.

By working hand in hand with partners, customers, and even communities, HID ensures that their solutions are not just technologically sound but also practically viable.
