CUPERTINO, Calif., Dec. 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alcatraz, the leader in facial biometric authentication for physical access, today announced the successful completion of its SOC 2 examination as of November 7, 2025. The independent audit was conducted by A-LIGN, the leading provider in cybersecurity compliance trusted by more than 4,000 global organizations.
“Trust in biometric systems depends on strong data stewardship,” said Tina D’Agostin, CEO of Alcatraz. “At Alcatraz, we work with some of the world’s most sensitive data and environments, and it’s a responsibility that we take seriously. Our platform is purpose-built with privacy at its core so customers can deploy biometric access with confidence across their most critical environments.

Established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 examination is designed for organizations of any size, regardless of industry and scope, to ensure the personal assets of their potential and existing customers are protected. SOC 2 reports are recognized globally and affirm that a company’s infrastructure, software, people, data, policies, procedures and operations have been formally reviewed.
Alcatraz leverages AI-powered facial authentication technology to enable private, secure and seamless entry across highly sensitive environments. Its solution, the Rock X, is deployed across Fortune 100 campuses, AI data centers, financial institutions, stadiums and government facilities, where precision, compliance and trust matter most.

“Congratulations to Alcatraz for completing their SOC 2 audit, a widely recognized signal of trust and security,” said Steve Simmons, COO of A-LIGN. “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.”
