01 GENERAL NOTES

Four principles, non-negotiable.

  1. GN-01

    EU sovereign by default.

    Three sovereign regions, data never leaves the EU, no US cloud dependencies in the critical path.

  2. GN-02

    Open, not captive.

    148+ connectors to HR, IDP, and PACS platforms. Standards-based. No lock-in.

  3. GN-03

    Regulated from day one.

    ISO 27001, TISAX. Audit-ready evidence, cryptographically signed lineage.

  4. GN-04

    Quiet infrastructure.

    We don't want to be on the user's mind. We want the door to open, the account to provision, and the log to close.

02 SPECIFICATION

The broker between HR and the door.

CLAUSE 2.01

ID-ware started with a simple observation: HR systems, directory services, and door readers were all trying to answer the same question - "who is this person, and what can they do?" - and none of them were talking to each other.

CLAUSE 2.02

Two decades later, we are the identity broker sitting between them. A golden record for every human who enters a building, connects to a network, or needs a credential. One truth. Physical and logical. Joiner to leaver.

CLAUSE 2.03

We are EU-headquartered, run on EU-sovereign infrastructure, and certified against the standards European regulators actually care about. ISO 27001. TISAX. GDPR, NIS2, DORA aligned.
