Alternatives to Biometric Data: FOS Solutions for Secure and Efficient Management
The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) has published the ".Guide to Time and Attendance Processing using biometric systems"This is a crucial document that sets out the criteria for the use of biometrics in access control, both for work and non-work purposes. This guide details the measures necessary to ensure that the processing of personal data using biometric technology complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other applicable regulations.
The AEPD considers the processing of biometric data as a high-risk processing involving special categories of data. According to the GDPR, there must be a circumstance that lifts the prohibition on processing and, in addition, a condition that legitimises the processing.
At FOS, we understand the risks and complexities associated with the use of biometric data. That's why we offer innovative solutions that ensure security and efficiency without the need for biometrics: Agora POS for clocking control.
Agora POS is a comprehensive solution that not only manages point-of-sale transactions, but also enables clock-in and clock-out control. It records the start and end of the working day, clocking in and out during working hours, and provides a detailed record of hours worked per employee, in compliance with Royal Decree-Law 8/2014.
Other alternatives could be NFC cards that allow fast and secure access control. They are easy to use and can be centrally managed to ensure that only authorised personnel have access to sensitive areas.
Technologies that analyse user behavioural patterns, such as typing or mousing, could also be implemented to detect unauthorised access without the need for biometric data.
At FOS, we are committed to providing secure and efficient access management solutions that do not compromise the privacy of employees and customers. We understand that security cannot be compromised and therefore our alternatives to biometric data offer robust and reliable protection.
